Hero's Journey Updated

The Hero's Journey program has been updated

Based on your feedback, we have completely removed the points and karma tracking systems, letting you focus entirely on the story and your movement. We’ve also overhauled the exercise mechanics to make the program highly customizable and accessible:

No More Mandatory High-Impact Moves: Heavy impact movements like jump squats and jumping lunges are now completely optional. You choose whether to scale up the intensity or keep it low-impact.

Zero Push-Ups: We have completely removed push-ups from the daily tracks, shifting the upper-body focus toward shoulder stability, alignment, and your weapon choices.

With these refined core tracks and balanced progression curves, Hero’s Journey is now officially a solid Level 3 program - perfectly blending narrative immersion with functional, sustainable conditioning.

Thanks, this is my favourite program.

Oh wow! This means, after I finish my current workout, I might be able to give this one another try and complete the darn thing. ... Maybe. ^_^;;;;

I do kinda miss the point system. It was a good way to for me to track how I did. Or push a bit harder for a better score. But it also feels pretty dang reasonable to keep from overthinking it and focusing more on the actual workout and such. I am curious about how it plays out without the karma system. While I didn't get terribly far with my last attempt, I was under the impression that the karma system was a pretty big part in how the story played out. So I'll be interested to see how that goes.

All that said, I love the simpler interface for it! And it is a lot easier to do without me having to have scrap paper to track various things. I definitely can't complain about that!

Overall, sounds like a pretty solid update. And I'll be interested to see how it'll go next time I give it a try. ^_^

Is there a place we could find the old program please?

Oh wow. I will admit that the math gremlin part of me liked the points, but it was a major hang up for me to do this program in the first place. I did like the Karma system. I look forward to doing this new version in the future.

Yeah, the karma system and consequences was the reason it was good. Now there no reason to do this workout. Thanks, for taking the fun out of this. Is there a way to do the old one?
