When you sign up, you’ll get the following:

Like Heidi and Chris Powell’s first 60-day challenge, their second 60-day challenge exercise program parallels the couple’s own fitness philosophy and style of training: performance-oriented yet simple moves to get you lean, toned and strong. By signing up, you’ll receive instant access to highly detailed video workouts, with do-anywhere routines that require minimal equipment and that are scalable for anyone at any level of fitness, whether you’re an elite athlete or complete beginner. Heidi and Chris offer step-by-step instructions on how to best perform the moves while giving modifications and intensifiers for all levels of participants.

What’s more, Heidi and Chris understand that men and women have different physique desires, and they have tailored the workouts to reflect that need: The set and rep schemes are different, and some moves you’ll perform together as a team while others have a his or hers focus.

Here are how the workouts break down:

Morning Accelerator

Your day begins with a Morning Accelerator — a cardio workout that follows an interval format to “accelerate” the rate at which you burn fat for the rest of the day. As the weeks progress, the work-to-rest ratio of the Morning Accelerator changes and the duration increases.

Strength Work

Done separately from the Morning Accelerator, these workouts are about forging your physique. The workout starts with a big Primary move such as a squat, deadlift or bench press that uses multiple muscle groups at once to increase your heart rate and burn max calories. Then you do one or two Accessory moves, which are more targeted to improve or strengthen a specific area, like a biceps curl for arms or an upright row for shoulders and back.

Next comes an advanced technique such as a drop set, 50-rep burnout set or WD — Weakness Destroyer — to burn off the last ounce of gas in your tank, push the limits of your muscular endurance and boost your metabolic engine.

And several days a week, your workout wraps up with a high-intensity interval training session designed to push your aerobic and anaerobic threshold, improving endurance and stamina and increasing your fat-burning potential. So now you’ll not only look the part, but you’ll also back it up!

60-Day Progression

As the weeks progress, the variables in the program will change, keeping things interesting while encouraging adaptation. And because Heidi and Chris give scaling options for every single exercise, there is plenty of room for progress. Simply start at a level that is comfortable for you, and do the workouts as programmed at that level for 30 days (weeks 1-4). For the next 30 days (weeks 5-8), circle back to the beginning of the program and step up the intensity: Increase the weight, decrease your rest time and push your limits! This program is so versatile and adaptable that you can use it for as long as you want to continue getting stronger, fitter and leaner.
