Guide library
Exercise-program decision guides
Practical frameworks for choosing, evaluating and adjusting exercise programs.
Start with the decision guide
The guide library is organized around decisions rather than publishing dates. Begin with the complete program-selection guide, then move to program profiles and comparisons that match your goal and constraints.
What these guides are designed to do
- Clarify the decision before recommending an option.
- Explain trade-offs, not just advantages.
- Connect broad goals to specific programs and exercises.
- Show how to evaluate a plan after starting it.
