How the 28 days work

Three strength days, two short core days, one walk-and-stretch day and one full rest day each week.

Week 1Foundations

Learn every move with weights that feel easy and about 3 good reps left in the tank. Do your starting check-in on Day 1.

Weeks 2–3Build, then get stronger

Add a set or 2 more reps in Week 2. In Week 3, go up to a heavier pair on the big moves. Halfway check-in on Day 14.

Week 4Own it

Keep the heavier weights and add reps. On Day 28, repeat your check-in and compare it with Day 1.

Questions

What dumbbells do I need?

Two pairs: a light pair for shoulders and arms and a medium pair for legs, back and carries. Page 4 has a table to help you pick, for example 3 to 5 lb and 8 to 10 lb if you are new to weights. Adjustable dumbbells work too.

I don’t have dumbbells yet. Can I still start?

Yes. The guide shows you how to start with water bottles, milk jugs or a loaded backpack for the first week while you pick up a pair.

How long does each workout take?

About 20 to 30 minutes. Core days take about 10 minutes, and there are 15-minute express workouts for busy days.

Will this help me lose weight?

It is a strength plan, not a diet. Lifting helps you keep and build muscle, which matters when you are trying to lose fat. For weight loss, pair it with protein at every meal (page 21 helps) and daily walks.

Is this a physical product?

No. It is a digital download. You can print the pages or use them on a tablet.

What if I have a problem with my file?

Email me at coach@coachluke.com and I will sort it out.
