I’m Jen Sinkler. I’ve spent over a decade as a fitness editor, writer and personal trainer, and I’m passionate about providing information that will change your life in a way that doesn’t patronize or bore you (unfortunately, these often seem to be your options). I’m going to tell you why and exactly how my clients get the results they do. But before I really get into the meat of how to SOLVE this problem, I want to tell you why the problem exists in the first place.
I want to tell you why millions of people around the world are working their butts off with nothing to show for it. I want to tell you why so many people, just like you, have been conditioned to hate training, and in particular, cardio.
I get it. I’ve been there. In fact, it’s only because I’ve been there that I know how to fix it.
And you can. Because—here’s a shocker—honestly, you don’t have to put yourself through all of that to get the physique you want.
So, why does everyone think you do? Why have you been conditioned to believe that long, boring workouts and hours of time spent plodding along like a hamster on a wheel is the way to lose fat?
Well, the answer may not be what you want to hear.
...because it’s MY fault.
Well, perhaps that’s going to far. It’s not that I, personally, did anything wrong. I didn’t pull the wool over anyone’s eyes, or start a smear campaign trying to convince everyone to do the wrong thing in an effort to prevent them from getting the body they want.
What I mean is that the fitness industry as a whole is to blame. And as part of the industry, I share that blame.
And on behalf of everyone in the fitness industry, I APOLOGIZE.
Now, it’s time to make it up to you.
Here’s the scoop…
Back in the 1960s, when in the scientific community first started to get really interested in fitness for general people (instead of just athletes), a huge number of studies were conducted in a very short time period. We collected as much information as possible in order to understand how to make the human body look, feel, and perform better.
UNFORTUNATELY, we got a lot of stuff wrong.
The short version is pretty obvious: Because of some data that has been misinterpreted since the 1960s (maybe it was all the LSD?), we’ve been sold the idea that aerobic activities, such as swimming, biking and running, form the very essence of fitness. In mainstream media outlets, we are still told that traditional cardio equals fat loss and heart health; that it is the best and only way to burn off a donut.
Resistance training, on the other hand, has been positioned primarily as a bulk-building, bro-tastic activity that is a nice-but-not-necessary supplement to your fat-burning cardio routine.
QCardio is for burning fat, strength training is for building size...right?
ANot exactly. Not if you lift weights faster. That's cardio and strength training at the same time.
Think about that for a second. For over 50 years, we’ve been told that. And, as a society, we believed it, because scientists told us it was true.
But it isn’t.
You see, lifting weights is, in many ways, better than traditional traditional cardio for fat loss, performance, and overall health.
But if you really want to see the best results possible, you don’t just need to “lift weights.”
You need to lift weights faster.
And I mean that literally: you take traditional weight training exercises and do them faster, in every sense of the word. Lift the weights more explosively; decrease rest periods between sets; finish the workout more quickly and spend LESS time in the gym.
And when you do this correctly, it’s cardio and strength training at the same time. Instead of going two steps forward and one step back (like most fitness programs), you’ll get the best of both worlds…at the same time.

"This is a One-of-a-Kind Resource"
"I can’t say enough about this program. It includes over 125 workouts, each one of them of heavily influenced by her education from great trainers and coaches in the industry — in fact, there are a number of workouts from said coaches. There is a huge range of circuit styles included, too, and the variety is something I know you will love! High-definition video demonstrations, high-quality photos of all the exercises, and detailed written instructions make this a one-of-a-kind resource."
Let’s get something out of the way now: I’m not knocking traditional aerobic exercise, or saying it’s useless. It burns a calorie, and many people enjoy it. But, a) It doesn’t build an appreciable amount of muscle — a major component in long-term fat loss; b) When done often, endurance training can lead to chronically elevated levels of stress hormones, which works against you pretty hard in terms of fat loss; and c) Many people flat-out can’t bring themselves to do it. And, frankly stated, the best exercise program in the real world is the one you will comply with.
But back to the weight room…the misunderstandings began because of way the subjects were assigned to lift weights in studies that pitted resistance training against more traditional cardio pursuits in improving cardiovascular capacity. You see, oftentimes the lifting that occurs during research studies falls within more traditional set-and-rep schemes, using lower volume and longer rest periods.
Not exactly your fast-and-furious kettlebell circuit workout.
A 2007 study published in the ACSM journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that explosive muscle contractions increase energy expenditure, even compared to slower contractions using the same weight. The researchers’ takeaway: “By performing concentric muscle contractions as explosively and safely possible, with moderate exercise intensity and moderate exercise volume, experienced recreational exercisers can increase their energy expenditure both during and after resistance exercise, which could enhance weight-loss adaptations.”
In other words, if you’re interested in weight loss, lift moderate loads quickly.
Just last year, another study published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism touted the better hormonal benefits of lifting weights at high velocity, and the year before that, the Journal of Exercise Physiology published a massive research review that dug specifically into the previous misinterpretations in the difference in benefits between lifting weights and doing more traditional cardio.
What they found: “There is the very real likelihood that the distinction between [cardiovascular exercise and resistance training] is an oversimplification where such a distinct dichotomy does not, in fact, exist.”
Our energy systems overlap much more than we previously suspected, and even when you’re lifting weights — especially if you’re lifting weights faster — you are reaping the rewards of better cardiovascular health, too.
The Glute Guy on Lift Weights Faster...
Jen Sinkler might be the most talented person in the entire strength & conditioning industry. She's positive, she has integrity, and she consistently puts out great material. Lift Weights Faster is an incredible program that you will love. It will elevate your training and give you tons of new ideas for training under all types of circumstances and situations.

What this means: You don’t have to compartmentalize your workouts anymore, which will save you massive amounts of time.
It also means the kind of physique you’re going to get is going to be leaner and more muscular than the one you could achieve through traditional aerobic activity alone.
It’s the best of both worlds.

Marissa Has Lost 40 Pounds
“I always feel like I'm going to die when I’m lifting weights faster, but guess what: I haven't died yet, and I have also said goodbye to 40 pounds of unwanted weight, gained tons of lean muscle mass and can back squat 160 pounds like a pro.
I couldn't ask for anything more, except for a bigger PR.”
Marissa M., 31 - Minneapolis
Alexis Has Gone From Size 16 to an 8
During my early training sessions with Jen, I thought I would never catch my breath after conditioning! Now, I come home excited about what I just accomplished — I talk about how I made it through an entire cycle without putting the kettlebell down!
One of the best moments for me was when I was teaching my daughter to ride a bike, and I could run alongside her effortlessly for as long as she needed. I couldn’t do that before Lift Weights Faster!
Alexis K., 41 - Minneapolis
"I have never felt stronger or been leaner..."
“...since starting to 'lift weights faster.'' I also love to run, and I have never run longer or faster than I do now...and I'm almost 40 years old!
I have had body-image issues my whole life. I'm an anxious, self-conscious person, and I have never felt as confident in my body as I do now. I love the workouts because they are pretty short and you can tailor them depending how on strong you are feeling on a particular day. I also love them because they work all muscle groups. I now have muscle definition in places I didn't even know I had muscles!”
Julie G., 39 - Minneapolis
Would you believe me that you could feasibly better your overall physique with just a few intense sessions a week, each lasting 5 to 15 minutes? In other words, it can be accomplished in the time it would take you to drive to the gym.
If I were to tell you that you could burn fat and crank your heart rate in less time than it takes to fill your gas tank, you might say you’ve heard it before, that it’s too good to be true.
If you don’t believe me (yet), bear with me.
I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, it’s because you want to get lean, strong and to improve your overall fitness.
With that in mind, when it comes to the question “What do you do for cardio?” if the answer isn’t “lift weights faster” (yet), hear me out.
Neghar Fonooni on Lift Weights Faster...
Some of my favorite ways to keep myself (and my clients) fit are circuit training and metabolic resistance--what Jen Sinkler calls "lifting weights faster." It's fun, effective, and time-saving--making Lifting Weights Faster a no-brainer for combination strength and fat loss.
I've personally performed many of the LWF workouts and I think they are absolutely fabulous. Not only are they incredibly fun and sweat-inducing, but the manual is very well organized and easy to follow. As a fitness professional for 14 years, I highly recommend LWF to anyone and everyone looking to add some variety and merriment to their cardio regimen.

Learn How a Professional Athlete Discovered an Unexpected Way to Get Fitter Than She Had Ever Been in Less Than 12 Weeks...
Allow me to tell you a little bit more about where I'm coming from, and where I came from. I spent a decade as Experience Life magazine's fitness editor and editorial director of fitness. Now I write for a number of national magazines, such as Women's Health and Men's Health, and I've been featured as an expert source in a good many more.
I've been named one of one of Shape magazine's "Top 30 Motivators of 2013," Huffington Post's "20 of the Best Fitness Experts Worth Following on Twitter," and one of Greatist's "100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness" and "15 Must-Read Trainers Rocking the Web in 2013."
I love to talk about fitness, and to think about fitness, to read about fitness and to tweet about it, too. It is a topic I am thoroughly passionate about.
I'm not just a keyboard warrior, though: I was a longtime athlete and a member of not one but two U.S. women's national sevens and fifteens rugby teams for many years, even playing professionally for a time. I retired from the game after the Sevens World Cup in 2009, but I'm still usually up for any sort of sport or competition.
As far as fitness skills go, I pride myself on being a well-rounded fitness eclectic: For over a decade now, I've turned over every rock in the fitness landscape. I've attended countless hands-on workshops, spent extended periods of time learning from some of the best strength coaches in the industry, and experimented on myself and willing clients to find out what works - and what doesn't.
I'm a kettlebell instructor through the RKC and KBA, and an Olympic lifting coach through USA Weightlifting. I also hold coaching certifications through Primal Move, Progressive Calisthenics (PCC), TACFIT, CrossFit and DVRT (Ultimate Sandbag).
I don't just collect certifications though! I train clients every day at The Movement Minneapolis the gym I co-own with my husband, David Dellanave.
I like to be able to use all the toys in the gym, because different people are going to gravitate toward different training approaches, and I want to be able to connect them with something they love to do.
All of this is to say that I love fitness, and I continue to pursue more knowledge on the topic with zeal.
I Didn't Always Love Fitness, Though....
Rewind to the end of 2002. I was playing rugby for the national team, and I was fit, fast and strong and...I was totally miserable every time I trained. My then-boyfriend would drag me to the gym with him, put me through workouts I hated and then literally stand beside me and push the buttons on my treadmill.
He is not the villain in this story. My attitude toward [shudder] the dreadmill was terrible, and running outside in the snow wasn't a viable option. I didn't love my training, but I did love my sport, so I sucked it up. For the short term, anyway. It turns out I'd been doing too much of the same stuff in the gym, too often.
The repetitive stress led, predictably, to an injury: before that winter was up, I developed something called chondromalacia in my left knee - a condition where your kneecap tracks out of whack and grinds out painful new patterns in your cartilage. I went to physical therapy in the hopes that with some professional help, I’d be able to get right again. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Over six months, my PT tried everything he could think of, but the cartilage in my knee was still distressingly, painfully crunchy.
Listen, I'm tough. You have to be, to play rugby. So I did what most professional athletes tend to do when they’re injured: I ignored it as best I could, and played through the pain. While I was lucky enough not to suffer anything crazy like an ACL tear, my decision to play hurt had an unfortunate result. The pain in my knee changed everything about my game, most especially the way I ran. I relied too heavily on my other leg, developed compensation patterns, and after about two years, developed a nice little case of chondromalacia in my right knee to match the left. Oops.
Working out didn't make things better - it made only made it worse, so I decided I didn't really want to work out very often anymore. I loved my job, so I did that. Just that. I would leave the office at around 9 p.m. each night, grab a rotisserie chicken, some goat cheese, and a pack of pita chips on the way home, chow down, then go to bed and repeat it all the next day.
My weight started to creep up from a lean, mean 145 to a rather puffier 150. Then a marshmallowy (for me) 155. I was still playing rugby for my local club team, and still on both of the national teams...kind of.
I was selected only as an alternate for the Women's Rugby World Cup in 2006, and I didn't see a minute of playing time. Nor should I have: I wasn't the same player I'd been a couple years before. Still, it was devastating. I didn't even bother trying out for the U.S. team in 2007.
But it wasn't just my diminishing athletic prowess I was worried about. By this point, I felt weak and was completely miserable overall. I felt sick to my stomach after almost every meal. My whole face and back broke out in a terrible acne-like rash that a dermatologist told me was rosacea, and caused by hormonal changes.
I was regularly suffering from what I thought were muscle spasms in my midback, for which I sought help from sports medicine specialists, general practitioners, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and two ER docs. Finally, I was correctly diagnosed with gallstones. Like a little old lady, at age 28.
Is That Me?!
The moment everything changed followed shortly, when I put on a dress I'd remembered as being flattering.
It really, really wasn't anymore. I remember touching my midsection, trying to figure out if that bulge I saw was me or just material. (The verdict: It was me.)
In that moment, I realized that that there was nothing stopping me from a long, slow decline in health unless I completely overhauled my outlook and approach. Immediately. It was May of 2008, and I was so very tired of myself, my excuses, of feeling terrible both physically and emotionally, of dressing to try to hide my body when I'd always been the most naked and body-confident of my friends.
I felt like an imposter, calling myself an athlete when I was clearly not training or acting like one.
I was suddenly, finally ready to take full responsibility for my own health. I also knew I didn't want to get back on that treadmill for love or money. I wanted to find a different way.
What this means: You don't have to compartmentalize your workouts anymore, which will save you massive amounts of time.
It also means the kind of physique you're going to get is going to be leaner and more muscular than the one you could achieve through traditional aerobic activity alone. It's the best of both worlds.
"I picked up some new tricks..."
"Jen is as good a coach as she is a writer - and that's saying a lot, as she's one of the best writers in the industry! The Lift Weights Faster conditioning library is a great example of these coaching abilities. I picked up some new tricks, and I'm sure you will, too."

The Grand Experiment
Lets face it: You can have access to the best fitness programming in the world, but if you aren't going to follow it, it's not the best fitness programming for you. I was sick of feeling obligated or forced to follow a program I hated, one that involved very little flexibility or creativity. Not any more.It was in the back of my mind that I'd like one last hurrah playing for the red, white and blue, but I decided to start just by getting a base level of fitness back. Then I would transition back over to a more rugby-specific training program. That was the plan, anyway.
A group of my friends had all hit the same low point at the same time, so we joined a kettlebell gym together - en masse, if you will excuse the pun. Here's what I discovered: I adore circuit workouts. Not dance-y stuff, or step aerobics, but hard-n-heavy-lifting, totally sweaty metabolic resistance training. It felt like playing, and I'd challenge myself to do a little more in some capacity, to get comfortable with giving more effort.
This - this - was what training could be like.
At first, I had to do pushups on my knees, and I could just barely eke out a single pull-up, whereas before I could do 12.
But, within three weeks, for the first time in my entire adult life, I started to genuinely enjoy working out. I wanted to go to the gym. So I went, four to five times a week. My knees felt great - a nod to the short, well-designed workouts. (The gym I'd joined turned out to be run by two of the most skilled trainers I've ever worked with, Jason C. Brown and Pamela MacElree.) I tuned in to my body and I paid attention to how moving made me feel. And it was nothing short of glorious.

Jason C. Brown on Jen Sinkler...
"When Jen sets out to do something, she does it and does very very well. I have had the pleasure of watching her transform from an athlete into a coach, and that drive and determination I witnessed in her as an athlete is there in her as a coach, as well."
So, I added in a couple sprint workouts each week, and my body cooperated. My shoulders started getting more defined, and my midsection leaned out. I was moving better and feeling stronger.
Shortly after beginning my circuit-training regimen, I transitioned into a Paleo-esque type diet full of high-quality meats, good fats, lots of veggies, no grains and very little dairy. (Yeah, that rash on my face that had been diagnosed as rosacea? It disappeared as soon as the dairy did.)
In the span of 12 weeks, I shed a little over 20 pounds, settling in at 143 and, more important than a number on the scale, I completely changed the way my body looked and felt.
A few months later, I decided to make another go at high-level rugby. This is where it gets shocking....
At the tryout for the U.S. Sevens Team, I clocked a 40-yard dash time that tied my fastest ever from more than five years before.
I made the team, and was able to end my rugby career on a high note the following year, in Dubai in front of a World Cup crowd.
For five years I had been getting progressively slower, less fit, fatter, weaker...and then, suddenly, I had it all back. I was as fast, fit, lean and strong as I had ever been, and I'd followed none of the conventional rules of strength and conditioning.
Once I saw these results, I began to develop my own philosophy about exercise, and it changed my whole life.
In whatever form you choose to pursue it, exercise should be enjoyed - not dreaded. And from this idea, Lift Weights Faster was born.
"I had no experience lifting weights before this..."
Having more-or-less zero experience lifting weights, I was a bit hesitant to jump into a completely new realm. Having used Lift Weights Faster workouts, though, I have been amazed by the progress and changes I've seen.
The different mix of workouts have helped me get to a level of fitness I never thought I'd achieve. The ability to track my progression has also helped me become more disciplined both in and out of the gym, as I've become more conscious of my nutrition, too. Before starting the program, I simply wanted to get into better shape - and Lift Weights has far surpassed my expectations."

"These workouts will challenge and empower you."
Jen Sinkler's Lift Weights Faster workouts account for some of the most fun I have in the gym. Yes, they're guaranteed to get you super sweaty and breathing heavy —lifting weights is cardio, after all — and you'll probably get stronger doing them, which is never a bad thing.
But to be able to keep smiling round after round, to want more even as I'm panting.... Well, that takes a special program, and a special trainer, to make working hard and getting results feel so good. (Side note: If you like barbells and a good booty burn, set your sights on "Giggity Glutes." You won't be disappointed.)
Maggie F., 30 - Minneapolis
"I'm skiing double-diamonds like I used to...and it's easy."
“The Lift Weights Faster workouts are quick and fun, and doing them consistently has helped me improve my running speed — without adding volume.
Since I started lifting six months ago, I've hit PR after PR, all while running less frequently. I also credit Lift Weights Faster workouts for providing me with renewed strength and confidence in other activities, from stand-up paddle boarding to Nordic and downhill skiing.
This winter, for the first time since a major leg injury four years ago, I was able to confidently ski double diamond terrain like I used to, with the added bonus of not gasping for air at altitude.”
Sarah M., 37 - Minneapolis
"I've done my share of 'cardio'..."
Walking in the door at Movement Minneapolis for the first time after having lost a great deal of weight, I had plenty of experience with cardio but was unfamiliar with the concept of "Lifting Weights Faster". Jen Sinkler has merged strength, speed, and endurance into a heart-pounding, challenging cardiovascular whole. Lifting Weights Faster is an worthy component of any strength program.
Greg F., 47 - Minneapolis
The Lift Weights Faster Solution
The basis for Lift Weights Faster is to combine circuit and sprint workouts, with a decided absence of long, slow-distance workouts and NO DREADMILLS. (As I said earlier, it is absolutely every individual's prerogative to do endurance training or not. I just choose...not. I do, however, love to walk, and advise staying active in this way.)
Your workouts don't have to be boring. Boring is deadly. Boring is noncompliance. Boring is failure. If you dread your workouts, it's time to try something new. The Lift Weights Faster conditioning library includes 127 different workouts, so you have plenty to choose from. Even better, you will want to do them.
Move in new and complete ways. The Lift Weights Faster program was developed to help get you stronger in every direction. By this I mean that many programs move only in a sagittal, or forward and backward, plane. In this one, you're going to get strong in all the ways.
Enjoy yourself. You don’t need to force yourself into someone else’s routine. Find one that works for you, and that gets you to your goals. Make adaptations and modifications. Play. Whether you’re aiming for fat loss or seeking greater performance, consistency is the key to success. And keeping your workouts enjoyable is vital to staying consistent.
Expand your limits. Squats, deadlifts, pushes, pulls, core and rotation exercises are building blocks you can progress. The workouts in this program provide the basics of these exercises, but also include creative and worthwhile variations.
Work out in any amount of time, anywhere. Each workout is organized by both time and equipment at your disposal, so you can select one that works for you, every time.
Renowned Trainer Ben Bruno Says:
If you're the type of person that wants to get in shape but would rather walk over broken glass barefoot than do traditional gerbilcardio, Lift Weights Faster is the answer to your prayers. Jen has done a great job of creating an enormous library of workouts that are equal parts fun, challenging, and effective.
What's more, in addition to the actual workouts, she's constructed an extensive exercise database to teach you how to do everything correctly and she explains how to scale or modify the workouts to fit your goals, abilities, and logistics.
I recommend the program wholeheartedly and look forward to trying some of the workouts myself and with my clients.

You may be saying to yourself, “Yeah, Jen, all of this is well and good, but what am I really getting out of Lift Weights Faster?”
Here’s the bottom line:
This combination of heavy lifting, moderate-load lifting, and sprinting is a super-effective training method for blasting body fat and building muscle. If your goals are that simple, look no further.
The workouts are incredibly condensed yet still pack a punch. Lift Weights Faster saves you so much time in the gym because you don't have to separate cardio and strength training. That is old-fashioned, unnecessary, and ultimately, not as effective. Combine the two, enjoy the proverbial butt-kicking, and get on with your day.
Get stronger from a 360-degree perspective. Most traditional programs neglect both major and minor muscle groups, and leave your body with strength gaps that leave you more susceptible to injury. Not this one!
Following these workouts will make your life easier. One of my clients, for instance, measures her progress in how many bags of dog food she can carry easily — and she has two great danes. You can imagine how much dog food she goes through.
What used to take a shopping cart and help from store workers, she now does under her own power. She also travels a lot and marvels at how cabbies say her bag is heavy, yet it isn't to her anymore.
Think of things in your everyday life that you wish you could do. Do you just hate making multiple trips in from the car when you’ve gone grocery shopping? (Everyone does, right?)
Let’s get you carrying every bag in one trip.
Another clients says she has become the mom who can tuck a kid under each arm and run to the top of the sledding hill without even feeling tired or winded.
Think of how difficult that is: Running in deep snow, in the middle of winter, while awkwardly holding two tiny humans under each arm and running full speed up a hill – without breathing heavily.
We do no traditional cardio; we Lift Weights Faster.
Now, before we go any further, I just want to touch on something quickly. It’s possible that some people reading this aren’t quite getting it. And that’s my fault. It’s possible that I haven’t fully explained the radical differences between Lift Weights Faster and most traditional training programs. It’s possible that I haven’t really given you the complete rundown of exactly how and why LWF is different.
So let’s take minute to do that. Because I really want you to understand that when you pick up Lift Weights Faster, you’re not just getting 130 incredible workouts. You’re getting so much more.
Lift Weights Faster will show you so many new things, like these:
Why excessive cardio is sabotaging your fat loss and how you can actually burn more fat while NEVER having to do a traditional cardio workout again. The truth about marathon workouts and why you MUST dramatically shorten your training sessions for the fastest fat loss results. How a unique challenge-based training method will have you progressing workout after workout, ensuring that the fat continues to melt away while you get stronger! A training method so powerful that you will burn more fat even after you're done working out. Little-known techniques that, when implemented, will make your workouts surprisingly more effective.
At this point if you're wondering what exactly to expect to receive once you sign up for the Lift Weights Faster program...

Have Two-Time New York Times Bestseller Diane Sanfilippo Cook For You - Practically
There’s something you should know about me. I don’t do half-measures or “good enough.” If I’m going to do something I’m going to do it right. Which means I have something else to tell you.
As I’ve demonstrated here, Lift Weights Faster is effective by itself. But, if you want to really want to supercharge your results, your nutrition has got to be on point. So, I enlisted the help of my good friend, two-time New York Times-bestselling author Diane Sanfilippo to write a nutrition companion piece, Eat Better Faster, especially for you.
A Certified Nutrition Consultant, Diane is a wealth of nutrition know-how. Taking a practical approach (it’s no accident that one of her bestselling books is called Practical Paleo) to nutrition and training, Diane has helped hundreds of thousands of people through her books, website and seminars on how and why to eat real food.

If the workouts in LWF don't do the following:
Allow you to enjoy intense, beneficial, and fun workouts. Help find you your best fitness routine. Get you to a better you.
It costs you NOTHING.
You read that correctly: NOT ONE DIME.
Look, finding the right workout program that is best for you is crucial. I know that better than anyone. Some will work, some wont. If, for whatever reason, Lift Weights Faster doesn't turn out to be for you, I'm giving you a risk-free 60-Day money back guarantee. Our goal is to get you to be the best you, with or without Lift Weights Faster. If it isn't working - just let us know and you'll get a full refund.
I can't begin to explain the confidence I have in this program, but if it isn't for you, no problem. No tricks, no loopholes, no hard feelings. You'll have a full 60 days to try it out, and if at any point you feel it isn't effective, you get every penny back. Simple.
I'm passionate about delivering high-quality information in a way that doesn't patronize or bore you (and unfortunately, these often seem to be your only options!).
Instead, I've sought out the best information and provide it to you here.
You clearly have NOTHING to lose. You're going to get all of these things and for a limited time, I want you to have it for half price.

People say you can't have it all, but remember our 60-Day money-back guarantee? With that, you get the comfort of knowing that if this incredible program doesn't work for you, you get your money back, no questions asked. You have nothing to lose - except body fat. Aside from that, you can only gain: confidence, muscle, and peace of mind. If it doesn't work out for you, for whatever reason, your money and the program is yours.
I developed this program to let people know that it's OK - and entirely possible - to enjoy your workouts. Traditionally structured workouts aren't the "end all, be all" when it comes to the proper approach to fitness. If you dread the gym, you need to try something new.
I want you to get stronger in every direction. After changing my outlook on fitness and my approach to training, I saw results I never thought possible. I performed better, looked better, and - most importantly - I enjoyed myself, and I was motivated to train. I enjoyed it so much that I haven't looked back.
I've made it a point to help my audience and clients understand that you don't need to force yourself into someone else's routine. Find one that works for you, and one that gets you to your goals.
My confidence in the program is unwavering - hence the incredible money-back guarantee. I know this program flat-out works. Based on my backstory, now you know this program works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: “I don’t want to have to join a gym – I don’t like the culture. Does Lift Weights Faster come with a free gym membership?”
A: Uncomfortable social situations make people feel what psychology professor Joshua Aronson calls “conditional stupidity.” Some people experience this phenomenon at the gym — at least at first.
It usually wears off once you start going regularly and get more comfortable in that environment, but you do not need a gym membership to do many of the workouts included in Lift Weights Faster.
One of the best parts about the Lift Weights Faster program is that the workouts can be done with either limited equipment, or a full gym. Everything within the program is categorized, and In fact, over half of the workouts are either bodyweight only or use a minimal amount of equipment.
Do you want to stick to strictly bodyweight exercises today, but you’re unsure how to start? No problem – check out the Exercise Glossary, which includes written and photographic demonstrations for how to do every single exercise in any workout.
Want to swing a kettlebell for 15 minutes but are unsure of proper form? Perfect, I love that. Pop in the Exercise Video Library, and I’ll walk you through it step by step.
Already have a gym membership and want to take full advantage of both your membership and LWF? Awesome – check out the Conditioning Workout Library and go get started. The flexibility of the LWF program is unlike anything else on the market today.
Q: “But Jen, I had a long day at work. I don’t want to spend all night in the gym. Why can’t exercising not be so time consuming?”
A: We’re all extremely busy – life moves quickly. The Lift Weights Faster workouts are designed to be tough and enjoyable, but also time-conscious. Routines are split up into 10-, 20- and 30- minute workouts.
If you had a long day at the office or the kids need to leave for soccer practice in 15 minutes, knock out a quick 10-minute workout and be on your way.
Your favorite rerun of Seinfeld is on TV and you want to work out while you watch – pick a 20-minute workout and get moving. But, you’d better turn the volume waaaay up, if you’re going to hear anything over the sound of your own breathing. (Chances are, you’ll find the workout more interesting than the episode, anyway.)
Q: “The 10-, 20-, and 30-minute workouts don’t seem like they would be sufficient. Would LWF need to be supplemented with another workout program?”
A: If you’re doing the workouts correctly, with proper form and steadily increased weight over time – the Lift Weights Faster workouts can be a successful stand-alone program. However, if you would like to see further results, it can also be combined with alternate strength programs.
Q: “Is Lift Weights Faster a program or a collection of workouts? Should I do them in any particular order?”
A: Lift Weights Faster is, when it comes down to it, a collection of full-body, strength-building, fat-burning workouts. You can do any of them in any order. Would it make sense to map out a precise plan for how to tackle them? Yes. But, as my friend Carla Birnberg writes, “It doesn’t MATTER what the ‘ideal’ is. What matters is what I will consistently do.”
And I can promise you that you will do these workouts, which have all been tested on clients and other trainers, because you will love them.
Plus, as I said before, Lift Weights Faster workouts can easily provide the conditioning supplement to a progressive strength program.
Q: “I travel a lot for work. Will Lift Weights Faster be an effective workout for when I’m jet-setting from place to place?”
A: If you travel a lot, it’s not feasible to only train when you’re at home — I hear you loud and clear on that one! This conditioning library is the perfect thing to take with you on the go. Because the workouts are organized both by equipment and time, you can select the ones that are appropriate for you in any environment.
Even if you’re limited on time and equipment, there are plenty of ways to keep your workouts fresh and challenging. Lift Weights Faster workouts include varying set and rep schemes, and different rest styles and workout structures, so cycle through different workouts to always present your body with a challenge.
Q: “Is LWF for men or women…or both?”
A: Lift Weights Faster is for anyone looking to enjoy their trip to the gym, their backyard or their living room. Lack of motivation doesn’t discriminate by gender, and neither do I. By enjoying your workout, you’re more likely to stick with the program and continue outdoing your expectations, whether man or woman.
With our library of exercises, videos, workouts and how-to’s, anyone can learn these the movements included in these workouts. If you’re already familiar, that’s great. If not, get ready to learn exercises and movements you’ll remember and use for the rest of your life!
Q: “Should I be following a strict diet when participating in the LWF program?”
A: As long as you are eating healthy and being mindful of what you are eating on a daily basis, you won’t need to follow a “strict” diet to see optimum benefits from Lift Weights Faster.
That said, if you’re ready for a diet overhaul, Eat Better Faster is the ideal starting point.
Q: “Am I too old to do such fast-paced workouts?”
A: At the gym I co-own with my husband, called The Movement Minneapolis, I run classes with people anywhere from age 21 to 66, and we do Lift Weights Faster with them three times a week. I don’t believe limits should be placed on participants because of their age.
That said, I always start every client, regardless of age, off with just a little bit at a time — not bursting through the gates. You want to give your muscles and connective tissues time to adapt, so easy into the workouts.
If anything feels like too much — too much speed, too much weight — it probably is. That’s why absolutely everything is scalable. There are ways to dial back the intensity and get comfortable with the exercise before going any harder.
As we age, our fat-burning hormones like growth hormone and testosterone begin to decline, so a program intended to spike these hormones, as Lift Weights Faster workouts do, along with making you leaner, fitter and more powerful, can only benefit you in the long run, either young or old.
"At 58 years old I'm the strongest and leanest I've ever been."
“Jen’s Lift Weights Faster workouts have been a game-changer for me. The workouts are efficient, effective, and fun. Best of all, they are portable and can be taken along when I travel. I am 58 years old and am the strongest and leanest I have ever been.”
Patricia B., 58 - Minneapolis
Q: “Jen, I’ve never really lifted or worked out before. Is this program for me?”
A: Everything Lift Weights Faster provides for you is meant to be learned by anyone who is interested.
If you’re a beginner — meaning you’ve never or rarely stepped foot in a gym — you can still get comfortable enough with the content to get started. Our Exercise Video Library and Exercise Glossary is intended to help walk you through each movement correctly so you can do it properly before going forward.
That being said, if you’re already a fitness enthusiast, this program is perfect for you, as well. The workouts in our Conditioning Workout Library are intended to push each participant to their individual maximum effort — and that looks different for everyone.
"I love the creativity and fun in Jen's workouts."
“What I love about Jen's workouts is that the workouts are in three durations, and really, you can make them any length of time you want. And I found a workout that I'm excited about doing when it's warm and the snow melts -- it involves drawing an agility ladder with chalk on my patio, and I can have the kids ‘play’ with me. Seriously, for a woman who isn't promoting herself to the mommy crowd per se, what Jen is preaching is fitting my lifestyle and interest level to a T.”
Mary T., 37 - Minneapolis
"These workouts will challenge and empower you."
“Most times I can't say anything about Lift Weights Faster because I'm so focused on breathing. No matter what level you're at, these workouts will either challenge or empower you, but hopefully both.
Just when I think a circuit might feel somewhat easy, I'm reminded that I can and should be using a higher weight. Push yourself, though, because what I've learned from Jen and Lifts Weights Faster is that I can do more than I thought I could (most days.”
Genna C., 31 - Minneapolis

“Lift Weights Faster workouts are amazing! I love that they are challenging but doable. The short bursts incorporate strength with cardio, and you can adjust them to whatever level you are at for the day.
I feel like I have become more adaptable and stronger to so many different movements — it's such a rewarding feeling! Jen Sinkler is always so creative and supportive, too.”
Rachel F., 28 - Minneapolis
