8 WEEKS TO GO

Two months is more than enough time to  make major changes to your body – so long as you have a smart session strategy based on lifting weights and high-intensity cardio

HOW TO TRAIN

For a body-transformation journey, an eight-week challenge strikes the perfect balance. It offers ample time to witness significant changes in your physique, yet the finish line remains within reach.
