Why Join Our Winter Challenge?

The holidays don’t have to mean putting your goals on hold. In fact, this Challenge is specifically designed to help you stay consistent and in control during this busy season. Instead of overindulging, then overcompensating with frantic workouts in January, this challenge offers the realistic, balanced approach to fitness that you’ve been looking for.

By focusing on slow, controlled strength-building movements, you’ll engage more muscle fibers, burn fat, and boost your metabolism—so you can enjoy those holiday treats without the guilt. Plus, the added focus on Neuro Training principles will help you build stronger mind-muscle connections, break through plateaus, and rewire your mindset for long-term success.

Training Style: Mind-to-Muscle Connection for Maximum Results

The Sesh Winter Challenge is all about moving slow and controlled to get the most out of each rep. With a focus on the eccentric phase (the lowering part of the movement), you’ll tear more muscle fibers, leading to better hypertrophy and growth. This not only helps you build strength and sculpt your body but also boosts your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories long after your workout ends.

Whether you're working on breaking through a strength plateau or simply trying to stay active and fit through the holidays, this style of training will leave you feeling stronger and more energized than ever.

Balanced Fitness and Nutrition

This challenge isn’t just about hitting the gym—it’s about maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle throughout the holiday season. With a nutrition guide, proper recovery strategies, fitness education, and workouts that build muscle and burn fat, you’ll stay on track without feeling like you’re missing out on all of the holiday fun.

By the end of the 8 weeks, you’ll not only have built strength and muscle definition but will also have a redefined mindset that allows you to enter the new year feeling the best you ever have, without the usual post-holiday guilt.

About the Programming

Weeks 1-4: Mastering the Basics

In the first four weeks, you’ll focus on perfecting your form with compound movements like squats, bench presses, and deadlifts. These foundational exercises will be performed with a low to moderate rep range (8-10) to build strength and stability, making everyday tasks easier. Whether you’re carrying groceries or chasing after kids, this training will make you stronger for life.

Weeks 5-8: Time to Lift Heavier

Once you’ve nailed your form, it’s time to ramp up the intensity. In weeks 5-8, you’ll drop your rep range to 6-8 reps, allowing you to lift heavier and test the strength you've built. This phase is all about volume and load, helping you maximize muscle growth. Prioritizing recovery and proper nutrition during this period will ensure you finish the challenge stronger and more sculpted than ever.

W1-4 + W5-8

Day 1: Upper Body - Chest / Shoulders / Triceps

Day 2: Lower Body - Quads / Glutes

Day 3: Upper Body - Back / Biceps / Shoulders

Day 4: Lower Body - Glutes / Hamstrings

Day 5: Full Body - Core / Mobility

Why Slow and Heavy is Key

Moving slowly and focusing on the eccentric phase of each lift ensures maximum muscle fiber activation, leading to greater muscle growth and fat burning.

The slower the movement, the more time under tension your muscles experience, which translates into better results. This method is perfect for building a toned, defined physique while keeping your metabolism revved up.

Finish the Year Feeling Your Best

By the time the holiday season ends, you’ll have built a stronger, more sculpted body, and established a healthier mindset around fitness and food. So grab your pumpkin spice latte, indulge in the holiday treats, and still hit your fitness goals!
