What this block is

Beginner runs as a 4-week block, 3 days a week, and there are 12 distinct sessions in it. No two share an exercise sequence and no two share a title, so a block gives you a different session every time you train it. The progression comes from load, volume and density — not from handing you the same workout again under a new name.

It is written at beginner level, so it is picked to match where you actually are rather than where a programme assumes you are.

It carries the Recomp nutrition template, so the way you eat matches the block you are in. A strength phase and a fat-loss phase are not fed the same way.

Every exercise in it has its own animation of the movement inside the app. No stick figures, and no written description standing in for a demonstration.

How you actually get it

You do not assemble this yourself and you do not get dropped into a library to pick at random. Six questions narrow the whole library down to a short list, you say which of them you want, and Pete tailors it and signs it off before it reaches your app. If your training changes, you go back and take a different route.

Tell Pete the days you can train and the kit you have. He picks the block, tailors it to you and signs it off.
