Who Is This Workout Collection For?
Lift Weights Faster benefits and features may satisfy a wide range of people. Most of all, people with limited time and busy life do not have the luxury of an endless amount of time to spend in a gym.
But even those lucky enough to have more time at their disposal may find the short workout approach of this program attractive. Why waste time when you can do the same workload in a fraction of it, simultaneously burning fat, building lean muscle, and promoting general all-round fitness.
While the author herself and many of her clients featured in this program are females, this program does not discriminate against gender and is just as effective for men as it is for women.
However, while the workouts are short, they are also demanding and a real deal. This means those ten or twenty minutes spent doing circuit training and pushing weights are challenging, they can have you sweating in no time at all.
As always, you need to put in the effort for this plan to succeed, not just view it as a quick-workout schedule to save time. You need to be motivated to get the best benefits out of Lift Weight Faster.
If it sounds too much to handle, then a well-designed diet plan may be a better solution for you, as this blueprint was designed for those who also like to work out and be fit, not just to lose fat.
Lift Weights Faster Vs The “Dread-Mill” – The Plan Idea
The whole idea of Lift Weight Faster is to perform regular workouts in a fraction of regular time, mainly borrowing from circuit training principles so as to get the same job done in as little time as possible.
Not only does this strategy prove time-saving, but it actually boosts metabolism, prompting fat loss even after you’ve finished working out, and eliminating the need for long, boring, and time-wasting cardio on “dread-mills” or ellipticals.
Being a motivator, Jen Sinkler organized this program to be boredom-proof as she experienced firsthand how difficult is to stick to a plan if you do not enjoy it.
The Lift Weights Faster collection accounts for multiple disciplines for different fitness levels precisely to allow you to choose the best workout regimen that suits your taste and needs.
The flexibility of the collection does not stop to just fitness level and preferred workout type. It is also very practical in that it takes into account the normal limitations and circumstances everyone incurs when choosing a program, that is equipment or lack of it, location, traveling, and time available.
How Does Lift Weights Faster Work?
Jen Sinkler’s workout collection encompasses a range of six different categories of equipment depending on your personal situation: full gym, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, minimal equipment, or bodyweight only.
The workouts are categorized by fitness level, beginner, intermediate or advanced, AND time on hand, so you can choose to have your workouts lasting 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes.
The protocol of Lift Weights Faster is a mix of circuit training and sprint workouts without any traditional cardio. Instead, you take regular resistance workouts, be it with your own body weight or equipment, and simply perform them faster, using an explosive style with less rest between sets.
The whole point of the program is to use resistance training, either bodyweight or equipment, at a much-increased pace to have the workout done much quicker. In addition, this mix of sprinting, heavy resistance, and moderate resistance has a positive effect on metabolic rate, boosting fat loss and lean muscle building.
One more benefit is that the combination of workout choice, the variation of fitness skills, and the range of equipment choice is unlike any you can find in other similar fitness programs. This workout collection is like multiple programs rolled into one.
You can use the manual or the video library to follow the exercises from your smartphone then, when you become proficient in a given type of workout, you may switch to another one to keep your interest alive and build a more all-around fitness level.
You can do weight training, then switch to bodyweight or kettlebells later on, as you see it fit. Lift Weights Faster makes it really hard to get bored, as it gives a comprehensive workout blueprint in multiple disciplines to be developed and switched as required.
While other more traditional strength and muscle-building plans also work, they do so with fixed settings that leave no room for variation, personal circumstances, and enjoyment. They do work, providing that you stick to a rigid and time-consuming schedule, and even then you may lack the necessary equipment to implement them.
As for fat loss, Lift Weights Faster makes a clean swipe of traditional cardio simply by speeding up regular resistance workouts in a circuit training fashion, resulting in a well-rounded muscle building, fat loss, and fitness plan for everyone.
Another good point of this collection is that is structured in a challenging style to motivate you and progress through each workout, preventing stagnation or quitting.

Lift Weights Faster – The Final Verdict
Jen Sinkler’s digital collection is a unique protocol for fitness, strength, fat loss, and muscle building designed on a circuit training workout pattern, utilizing a variety of resistance methods like bodyweight, kettlebells, barbells, and dumbbells or full gym equipment.
The circuit training principles cut down workout sessions to a minimum, making them time-saving and suitable for those who want to lose fat, get fit and build muscle but do not have much time on hand.
The impressive variety of workouts for all fitness levels and the author’s credentials make this collection a viable option for busy men and women who want to stay fit and motivated without getting bored.
However, while the workouts are short and effective, they are also demanding and require an effort on your part. Also, while Lift Weight Faster offers tons of information on workouts, it does not provide nutritional guidelines that you have to implement on your own or combined with a nutritional program.
