Hello,

I have been following the Beginner Template and was in week 3 of the 3rd block when the UK went into a second lockdown.  
I switched to the At Home Workout plan and added resistance bands to make it a bit harder.

Now 4 weeks later the gyms will reopen.  
What’s the best way to restart the Beginner Template, should I start with block 1 or is that too little volume and start with block 2?

Cheers,  
Jakob

Hi Jakob,

If you were in phase 3 of the Beginner Template, restarting with Phase 2 would be a great re-starting point. (The volume in phase 1 is just fine too. )
