READY TO GET MOVING?

Congratulations and welcome to: GMB Floor 1!

We know youre excited and ready to get moving ASAP. Heres how you can get the most out of this course:

Firstly, please read the manual and watch the video How to Use Floor 1. We included these files for a reason: you need them! Skim over the manual the first time as you watch through the tutorial videos and then make sure to read the details before you begin the workouts.

Weve tried to only include the theory you absolutely need in this program, so its not nearly as expansive as it could have been. Understanding this material will mean the difference between just seeing the demonstrations on the tutorial videos and really understanding how to practice the exercises.

Simply: Understanding this small amount of training theory will ensure that you get the results you want.

Please refer to the following checklist to ensure that you have all of the files you need. You should have both exercise tutorials, and example videos of the Phase routines. Youll also find a program outline in the manual and full, daily charts of the entire program in the Floor 1 Program Charts.

If you have questions or concerns, READ THE MANUAL! Weve included a section near the end that specifically answers the most common questions F1 users have, so start there.

We also recommend re-reading the manual and watching the exercise instruction at least once per training phase (roughly once or twice a month) to refresh your memory; youll also understand the performance points better with each return to the text.

If you follow these guidelines, were sure youll be pleased with your progress on Floor 1.

So go ahead and grab yourself a cold beverage, fire up your video player, and sit back to read over the information herein.

Heres to skill and strength!
