3 Perfect Weeks of Strength

If you’re tight on time or just prefer shorter workouts, the express edition of 3 Perfect Weeks of Strength is a great option. With three 20-minute workouts per week—all total-body—this well-rounded routine can help you get to your goals faster. Across every week, the workouts hit all your major muscle groups in a few different ways. And, for the most balanced results, each workout builds from one to the next. Get your dumbbells ready for classic moves—like squats, presses and hinges—plus combo exercises and a few pushups here and there. You’ll also squeeze in some core and balance work for the ultimate express experience. Like with the first 3 Perfect Weeks of Strength program, there’s a new theme every week. In week 1, you’ll gradually add intensity using progressive overload. Week 2 is all about slower movements to make the most of time under tension. By week 3, you’re ready for dynamic power with faster, explosive-style exercises. Do the three weekly workouts in the order shown. Once you complete this program, take a beat to celebrate your success! Then give it another go if you like or take it up a level with the other 3 Perfect Weeks of Strength program, where you’ll take on four 30-minute workouts per week.
