There are a number of things you can do as you get ready to join the program. From making sure you’ve got the necessary equipment to making sure you’re strong enough for what we’re about to ask.

BellyProof is very different from traditional training and it is going to be challenging both to beginners and experienced people alike. With that, we find people who have a basic level of strength, do get better results.
Ideally, you want to be able to do the following (the videos will teach you how to build those skills):
Requirement #1: build your way to 3-4 push-ups.
Requirement #2: build your way 2 negative pull-ups (just the way down)
Requirement #3: work on being able to hang for at least 10 seconds.
Requirement #4: being able to jog for 5 minutes without stopping.
Practice until this is easy.
Other requirements:
Requirement #5: Not be in chronic pain and be able to move (even basic movement) relatively pain-free.
Requirement #6: Clearing some time (you want at least an hour a day for yourself… for example, to do the workout, which you will need to do).
Anyone can do it, but you need to work on meeting the 6 requirements above.
You will need to make sure you’ve got the following equipment:
Note: you can still do the program even if your situation is not perfect (i.e. you can only train in the evening, you have to travel in the middle etc..). It’s just less ideal.
If you want to be on the safe side and get the best advice how to still maximize your results while still accommodating these limitations… get in touch and we will advice you what’s realistic and how to adapt it.
The Majority of people on this program are men in their 30s and 40s. However we had a large variety of success with older and younger men and women. This is for everyone but there a few small but key difference that are good cover:
I do need more people to share photos in general and especially women. However, I do get that a lot of people don’t feel comfortable having their before and after semi-exposed bodies on the internet, and I only share publicly with a clear permission from you.
Most of the people who do this program are men in their 30s and 40s. We have had people in their early 20s and people in their 70s on the program with promising results (it’s just not the main group of people who choose this). Here’s what you need to consider:
Mobility is a complex subject (and a big big priority for us). This is not a catch-all program (i.e. to make you perfect in every way). That said, we believe we have good news for you:
The common stuff:
The Serious Stuff
You are ok to do the program if you can move with relative ease and pain-free. Even if you’re not strong or don’t feel like you have a lot of great movement.
You are not ok to do the program if you are dealing with chronic pain, you are recovering from a serious injury or you can’t get out of bed. If that’s the case, your best course of action is to go and see a good physio, chiropractor, osteopath or any other mobility / movement specialist. The good ones can help you sort out movement problems and pain in a few weeks time and once you are relatively pain-free, then come and join us and we’ll make you even better.
READY TO START THE PROGRAM?
To make the BellyProof schedule work for you, we recommend planning to start at a time where you can commit to training and nutrition that is specific to the program.

You can start the next day or the next week (it’s up to you). What you need to know is that the program is really efficient because it uses very efficient practices. You will need to dedicate some time at the beginning to go over tutorials and learn how we do things the right way.
This is going to be fun! Welcome on board!
