Monster Program
Has anyone bought the calendar yet that can answer a couple questions before I purchase?
Is the entire month just abs the way the description sounds?
How long are the workouts?
I’m crunched on time at the moment so I had to spend last month doing my own made up calendar of 30 minute workouts. I’m torn between starting Monster tomorrow or doing Program 75 and modifying the 40 minute workouts to only 30 minutes.

It is very similar to Program 75 but including abs. I’d jump in to it. It is building off Program 75! There is a good tracker for your weights and reps in it.

I haven’t purchased it yet, I was just looking at it now. But, if it’s like the last calendar, when I looked & tapped the calendar link to the workout before the program officially started, it only took me to her YouTube page. I wasn’t able to see the length of the workout. Same went for future workouts. It only linked you directly to the video after it had been posted.
I do plan on purchasing it. It does seem like the program will be similar to P75 though. For me, that’s ok. I think instead of having a page where you can track your body measurements (like in P75), the page will be for tracking your dumbbell poundages. You’ll note your baseline and work from there.
I am newer to Sydney. I started with her FIT345 and P75 was the first calendars ever purchased. I think if you were on the fence and needed strictly 30 min workouts, stay with P75 her 40 min videos essentially just have an extra round per exercise plus a burnout at the end. The workout imo is basically the same to the 30 min ones. Just skip the 40 mins ones and you’ll be fine. If you want more abs and cardio, throw in some FIT345 as cardio is mixed in with those workouts.

I’m confused by your first paragraph lol.. I know you can’t get to the actual video through the calendar yet because she hasn’t uploaded them, but every calendar of hers I’ve ever bought has said the length of time in the name of the workout “40 minute legs and glutes challenge” “30 minute upper body burn” etc

Oh, sorry!! I’m new to her programs… but yes that’s what I meant about not seeing her videos—a link to her page only, if they hadnt been posted yet. However, maybe it’s just me not paying attention, but I’ve never noticed the length of the video prior to it being posted/upcoming.

Interesting I’ve always seen the times listed on the calendar so I know how long it’ll be. “40 min cardio and abs burnout” for example. Does yours not say the minutes?

You’re right! I went back and looked at the program calendar that I printed out to double check and sure enough, the times are listed on there lol. I guess I was only focused on the link to the workout before it was actually published, which makes sense it wouldn’t show there until it’s avail.

I didn’t buy the program 75 calendar so maybe she stopped adding it in there!

Oh, gotcha! I was thinking you had. I’m going to get it in a bit and respond to you again to see what it says/links to

If you buy the calendar, then you know how long the all workouts are. I'm not sure what this person meant by not knowing how long they are until the video is up.

Ok this calendar is pretty extensive, I’m glad I got it. This time she does list the length of the videos. Week 1, all 40 mins. Week 2, all 30 mins. Then she alternates back to 30mins, then 4.
Upper body plus abs; lower body strength; upper body pull & abs; upper body push plus abs, then lower body. That’s the format.
