Why people love CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER
El Segundo, CA
“I definitely feel stronger not only in my body but mentally! I remember thinking on Day 1 that I wasn't ready/capable of what was ahead of me, but once I got out of my head and trusted the process I soon realized that I WAS/AM capable of anything I set my mind to. Showing up every single day and actually feeling myself grow in strength only had a positive effect on my mental health as well. I could see and feel the results of the hard work I was putting forth within the program.”
Tarzana, CA
“My primary non-scale goal was to become more mobile and capable when interacting with my kids. I can tell you I have without a doubt met that goal. I not only have more energy, but my range of motion and strength have improved as well.”
Valley Village, CA
“I’ve had so many victories. I feel strong. I feel confident. I feel excited to move my body every day. I am so proud of myself for being able to FLOW.”

THE WORKOUTS
Master the movements in 20 powerful workouts
3 calendar options let you work out 4, 5, or 6 days a week with primal movement as the foundation for one of the most dynamic lifting programs you’ll ever experience. Repeat the moves until you master them & completely change the way you lift, move, & feel.
Tempo Strength
Tempo-based exercises vary your lifting pace to maximize the challenge—and your gains. End with an 8-minute block of AMRAP (as many reps as possible).
Hot Start
Jump-start your body with a quad set of 4 exercises. Get sculpted with strength-based moves and finish with sweat-inducing cardio.
EMOM Circuit
"Every minute on the minute" circuits challenge you to reps of strength, conditioning, and superset exercises done in less than 60 seconds.
Burnout
Exhaust specific muscle groups using time-based strength, bodyweight, and cardio exercises that spike your heart rate and have you feeling the burn.
MixMet
This metabolic challenge gets your heart pounding with a technique called “alphabet soup.” It's the same 5 moves but the order keeps you guessing.
Recovery

3 Bonus 25-Minute Workouts
Keep moving with these short but effective workouts: TGU-T (Turkish Get-Up Training), Primal Movement Flow Express, and Primal Movement Cardio.
