Show Notes
In this short Connections episode, Jessica is sharing what matters most to her when she creates workouts for you—and how those priorities shaped her new four-week BUILD Program starting September 1st. She talks about why she believes your workouts should help you build strength and confidence while also supporting your body, meeting you where you are, and giving you a clear plan you can actually follow. She also gets into details about when you should chose a dedicated leg day versus a full body day. Finally, she shares a little about what you can expect from BUILD and why she is so excited to spend these four weeks moving, getting stronger and building together.
