Hi there,

I'm trying to understand how the 4TM plan is structured. It seems pretty straightforward to follow the schedule in Phase 1, Phase 2, etc.

First, I'm not sure where the activation series comes in - do you just do this when you feel like you "need" it, or is it something to start with before Phase 1? I'm a bit confused because there's the activation warmup and the Phase 1 warmup. If I'm tight on time, is it ok to just follow the Phase 1 schedule, or is the activation series important?

Second question, is what are the "core troubleshooting issues exercises" at the bottom of the Phase 1 schedule? Is there an assessment section or list of exercises that I'm missing?

Thanks!

Hi Danielle! Yep! You'll follow the schedule as planned out. The activation series goes through how to access your body and trouble shooting if needed. This a great resource tool to utilize. Under phase 1 there's are 4 videos: pre workout warm up, the ab rehab moves and then 2 different ab circuits. You'll follow the schedule as to when to do these. I hope that makes sense! Sorry, this needs to be updated. Any assessments for 4TM will be in our 12 Week Ab Rehab with our coaches. They can assign troubleshooting exercises as needed and seen fit. I hope that make sense!
