2024 Programs Update

We are beginning to update all of our programs (not all, but many) for 2024.
We are starting with level 1 programs and going up from there. We'll post the updated program below!

Also, we'll finally re-level them according to the new rules (depending on the changes made).

The Baseline Program has been updated

Many thanks @neilarey , is there enough change to consider doing the program again to your opinion?

Yes, the changes we made were quite significant. I would consider it a whole new program at this point

 

[graoumia]

amazing, many thanks

 

[neilarey]

The Vitality Program has been updated

 

[neilarey]

The Arms of Steel Chair Edition program has been updated and renamed into the Arms of Steel [SEATED].
All of the changes made were cosmetic. Except for the name and a few font tweaks, the program is exactly the same as it was before.

 

[graoumia]

thank you so much

 

[neilarey]

The Recovery Program has been updated. We've made only very small cosmetic changes.





The Square One Program has been updated. We've made small cosmetic changes. Some of the reps were fine-tuned, but, overall, nothing significant was changed.

 

[neilarey]

I feel like we need an advanced warning for this... We are updating the Foundation programs next (both of them) and I can already see quite a few changes in both. The changes will kick in in the next 48 hours.

 

[graoumia]

Fantastic

 

[Anek]

Thanks for the warning! My partner will start with it soon so good to know we should wait!

 

[Syrius]

Well, that's exciting. Lol, at least I'm only on Day 5. I'll see how it shakes out and decide if I need to redo the first five days of Foundation Light.

 

[neilarey]

The Foundation Light program has been updated





P.S. We've made significant changes in this program. It can be considered as new.
P.S.S. We will be recording how-to videos for each day for this program, next.

Many thanks, i am actually on Baseline, i cannot test all at the same time, even if i would love

What's being changed? (when it's not cosmetic) Are the exercises just being replaced with new ones, new reps? Also, what prompted the change? Outdated methods? Thanks!

 

[neilarey]

@Scohui hi! We regularly update workouts, challenges and programs based on the feedback we receive. It usually takes years to collect enough feedback to justify an update. Sometimes we have new illustrations for existing exercises, sometimes we need to align the text or change the font etc. That's when the changes are purely cosmetic. It's a lot of work so we don't do this very often (every 3-5 years or so). And yes, sometimes we have better methods and exercises combinations, too. Each programs has a file with suggested and tested changes to be implemented at a later date. When we have the time, the resources and the manpower, we make the changes.

I hope this makes sense and helps

The Foundation program has now been updated

 

[neilarey]

We've finished updating Level 1 programs and are now moving on to programs rated Level 2

Hi,

I was on Day 17 of the Foundation Program. Is it still Level 2, or has that been changed to level 1? All the exercises look a little too easy for me now… should I change programs?

Thank you very much for all the work that you do!!!!

It's still Level 2. But it's been brought in line with the new difficulty level classification system as explained in the Workout Manual.
(I don't speak for the Team. But I believe a big part of the decision to engage in this substantial effort to update all of the older programs at this time was to bring them in line with the new classification system.)

hi! Yes, you should be training at Level 3 now (based on the current difficulty rating). You have two options:
a) finish the Foundation (2018 version), here is the PDF.
b) switch to any of the level 3 program.

I hope this helps

 

[neilarey]

@Laura Rainbow Dragon you are 100% correct!

 

[EnbyFitness]

Hi @neilarey! It does, thank you! I’m going to finish up the old version; hopefully that’ll give y’all enough time to finish up a level 3 program so I can start on one! 30 Days of Change, here I come!!

 

[Syrius]

Well, knowing that you are going onto level 2, I think I'll just wait for the update to restart Zen. Appreciate all of the Team's hard work updating the programs!
