Not surprisingly, the number one question I've gotten this week is this — can I combine Lift Weights Faster or Lift Weights Faster 2 workouts with Fat Loss Happens on Monday?
Or, said another way — it could be just as simple as "How Do I Combine my Strength Workouts and Conditioning Workouts?"
I'm so glad you asked.
1.) Three Strength + One Conditioning
So you'd do two strength workouts from Fat Loss Happens on Monday, and 1 metabolic workout from Lift Weights Faster.
This is actually how I was originally taught — put the strength workouts first, and then if you have a bonus day, add in a metabolic conditioning workout.
Could look like this:
Sunday: Food Planning/Prep/Cooking
Monday: Strength
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Strength
Thursday: Off
Friday: Strength
Saturday: Conditioning
2.) Two Strength + Two Conditioning
This is probably the most popular one, giving you an even mix of the structure and progress from the strength workouts, with the variety of the conditioning workouts.
Sunday: Food Planning/Prep/Cooking
Monday: Strength
Tuesday: Conditioning
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Strength
Friday: Off
Saturday: Conditioning
3.) Two Strength Workouts + One Conditioning
I'm a big fan of "less is more", so this is probably the best option of the three for most people. Lets take a look at what it could look like:
Sunday: Off
Monday: Food Planning/Prep/Cooking
Tuesday: Strength
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Strength
Friday: Off
Saturday: Conditioning
3.5) Three Strength + Conditioning
This is probably the easiest to implement. Drop the intervals from Fat Loss Happens on Monday, and switch in a 10 minute (no longer) conditioning workout.
Sunday: Off
Monday: Food Planning/Prep/Cooking
Tuesday: Strength + 10 min Conditioning
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Strength + 1o min Conditioning
Friday: Off
Saturday: Strength + 10 min Conditioning
Which Option is Best?
Now stay with me — here's where it gets crazy: Which ever one you like the best.
Holy effin' what? You're allowed to "like" one best?!?!?!?
Yes.
You've got these 3.5 options for combining them, and they'll all work really well. You've got enough choice here to pick something that will work for you, in your life, and what you like. But there's enough structure in these choices (they all "work") that you've got something you know is effective.

P.S. The sale ends today. And of course, the only reason I endorse Jen's stuff is because it's awesome. In fact that might have something to do with why we're friends.
P.P.S. If you like the intervals in Fat Loss Happens on Monday (I do) that's totally fine. Keep doing those! LFW2 conditioning workouts are just for people who want some variety.
