FAQ's
Do 15–20 minute workouts really make a difference?
Yes—consistency beats marathon sessions. Our community loves short formats like Beginner’s Sweat in 20 (HIIT/Cardio), Bands of Glory (Barre), Lower Body Blitz (Strength), Whole Body Feels (Yoga), Dumbbell-Only Full Body (Strength & Conditioning) and Intense Booty Blast (Pilates). Use them as stand-alones on busy days or as add-ons to your guide.
How much protein do I actually need—and easy ways to hit it?
As a baseline, aim for ~0.75g per kg of bodyweight per day (e.g., ~50g for 65kg). If you’re training hard/heavy, 1.4–2.0g/kg can be appropriate. Build 15–30g into each meal (eggs, Greek yoghurt, tofu/tempeh, fish, lean meats, beans) and use protein-rich snacks to top up. If you’re still short, consider whey (or brown-rice protein if plant-based)—both are rich in leucine to support muscle protein synthesis.
