LIIFT4: 30 Minutes to Lift, HIIT, Rest & Repeat

What is LIIFT4?

LIIFT4 is a no-nonsense combination of weightlifting and high intensity (HIIT) cardio to build muscle and scorch fat. The moves are based on classic lifting techniques that let you isolate, stabilize and focus each rep on the muscle group you're working. Every workout ends with a core routine for a full body build and burn that leaves you shredded. There are no gimmicky moves, no overly complicated routines and no opportunity for boredom because you'll never do the same workout twice. Get it DONE in just 4 days a week, 30-40 minutes a day, 8 weeks total. LIIFT4 will be available exclusively on Beachbody On Demand.

How does it work?

One of the great things about this program is that you will not get bored because you will never do the same workout twice!! Plus, you will only be working out FOUR days a week and you will still be able to achieve incredible results.

The LIIFT4 program is divided into two parts: the first 6 weeks is designed to tone your body, and the last two weeks will burn through calories and fat.

The only equipment required is a set of light, medium, and heavy weights or resistance bands.

Who is it for?

Women/Men looking to sculpt and get lean, men looking to build and shred, and anyone with a baseline of fitness.

What is VIP Early Access?

LIIFT4 will be available to all Beachbody On Demand members in the Member Library on October 1st.
