This Worked For me

Here's the structure you can follow to get back into exercise:

  • 30–40-minute workouts.
  • 3-4 sessions per week.
  • Each week.
  • Rinse/repeat over time. 
If that's all you were looking for, best wishes and I'm excited to see where that structure will take you!

But if you're wanting something more specific, you've come to the right place.

The Layman's plans and programs are designed with this framework, to help you apply stewardship, learn skills, and build strength. Be sure to visit the LF Hub page to get started.

Fitness is a function of stewardship, skills, and strength. These are the three principles that underpin all Layman's Fitness resources and programs.

Stewardship is the foundation for understanding exercise. Your body was given to you by God, to be used and stewarded for His glory.

Exercise is a composite of skills. Whether it's bodyweight, kettlebell, dumbbell, eating healthy or getting sufficient rest, these are skills you can learn.

Strength is the result of diligent application of stewardship and skills over time.
