Workouts are 3x weekly. They're scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week, but they're pre-recorded so you're welcome to adjust the schedule as you need to best fit your needs. For example, some people are super active on the weekends like taking Monday as their Rest Day. 

Once you've finished Round One, you'll move into workouts that are set up as  "training blocks." These blocks adapt into two different training schedules: 2x weekly or 3x weekly, depending on what best fits your needs & time availability.

You will need a Figure-8 Band, Bender Ball, and Gliding Discs. You can purchase the "Toy Package" from Amazon for ~$35. I love these three tools as they're small & compact (great for travelers) and they really help provide well-rounded bodyweight workouts that are also fun and engaging. The first two weeks of the program are equipment-free to allow for shipping time. 

I'll send you a link with my recommendations after you register, as well as a PDF with DIY options for the tiny cabin dwellers & conscious consumers in the group.

We believe that people of all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, ages, and abilities belong outside -- and in Summer Strong. 

That said, Summer Strong is a women-centered space where we can connect & discuss the unique challenges we face as women in the outdoor world.   

You are more than welcome to join the community if you are non-binary, male, or of another gender identification other than ‘woman,’ love what we are doing here, and want to be in community with us. 

Busy folks, you're in good company here! Summer Strong runs on the mantra "more is not better, better is better." Gone are the days of hours and hours of cardio, or needing to block more time to get to the gym & back! 

Summer Strong workouts are time-efficient & super effective, 3x weekly for only 35-45 minutes, and then you're done for the day. On the in-between days you can do whatever feels good - play with the kids, a quick yoga sesh, dance party, or walk outside. 

You bet! You can stream Summer Strong workouts from anywhere with a good internet connection, and the toys are small & fit well in suitcases. Many Summer Strong workouts have been done in hotel rooms! If you'll be away from the internet, you can download the Workout PDFs and complete the workouts without the videos. And if you end up taking a break or falling behind, you've got two weeks of extra time after each session to catch up and complete the program.

If you have joint pain when you move, or tightness that inhibits pain-free movement in your body, I'll encourage you to start with the Mobility Track movements I provide. These are variations on the strength-building exercises designed to emphasize increasing your pain-free range of motion.

When we have painful movement patterns, we have to focus on reducing pain and increasing mobility while we build strength, and our work needs to stay more gentle for a while. You may also want some extra props, like a chair and a blanket. 

In Summer Strong we do judgment-free Mobility Track, with the expectation that we'll all need Mobility Track from time to time. 

I'll release three new workouts every other week. The program will call for you to do each workout twice, second time with extra intensity since you're familiar with the moves. 

The workouts in this program use bodyweight as your tool & functionally oriented intervals as the modality. It's a version of High Intensity Interval Training that's adaptable for all levels & creates a nice after-burn & endorphin release. You'll be asked to find seven, eight, & nine+ on your personal intensity scale, using functional movements that mimic outdoor sports and strengthen the muscles, joints, & connective tissue we most need to be strong. 

Great question, and a super common one in this crowd! That's why I designed Summer Strong to fit into your active lifestyle, complementing your outdoor activities without getting in the way. Your workouts are only ~35-45 minutes 3x weekly, and the schedule includes planned outside days on the weekend and Active Recovery days in-between your workouts. 

Active Recovery days are great for fun-oriented outdoor time, and weekend days are too! And after a week or two of training you might find you're able to add a hike or bike on the same day as your workout. 

I believe in this program 100%, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing for everyone. We each have different bodies and minds, and we've all been through different things. I'll always encourage you to speak up for your needs.

This guarantee covers program misfit and dissatisfaction (if you're not satisfied with things that are my responsibility). It does NOT cover a lack of followthrough or change of life circumstances (your responsibility).
