Strong & Sculpted is a science-based program that is simple and effective. It takes into account your needs and goals and then provides you with the knowledge and blueprint for achieving those goals.

Strong & Sculpted will help you deliver results and maintain them. The four-phase program takes you from where you are to where you want to be, then keeps you there. You'll start by building an essential foundation for muscle development, then progress to more targeted sculpting and shaping. As you evolve, so will your plan. You'll find variations, new exercises, and workouts as you progress through the advanced and peak physique phases.

To ensure you get the most out of your workout, Strong & Sculpted relies on 117 exercises proven most effective for shaping and defining the lower body, shoulders, arms, and torso. In addition to step-by-step exercise instruction and full-color photos depicting proper technique, you'll find advice on reps, pacing, and optimal performance of each movement and full-color photos highlighting proper technique. You'll also learn to incorporate cardiorespiratory training and the mind-to-muscle and visualization techniques proven to enhance your results.

Whether it's defined arms, chiseled abdominals, shapely upper body, curvaceous butt and legs, or all of these, Strong & Sculpted is your step-by-step guide to the body you've always dreamed of.
