Training Plans

Multi-week progressive training programs (4-week, 6-week, 8-week) designed for users who want a complete, structured schedule rather than a single workout. Plans specify weekly session layout, progressive overload structure, rest day placement, and how to advance between phases. Includes beginner-to-intermediate progressions, strength-focused splits, and home cardio programs. Each plan should be presented in a format that can be followed week-by-week, with printable or scannable structure. Cross-links to individual routine pages for session details and to the exercise movement library for form guidance. Separate from single-session routines and app comparisons.
