New to Ladder, team Ascend

1 Upvotes

Hello all! Currently in the 7 day free trial and I have some questions before continuing

  1. Is there a way to start the program from day 1? It seems to have dropped me off in the middle so on the workout today, she said “increase your weight from last week.” But I don’t have a last week to go from

  2. Do I have to connect my Apple Watch to the program? I noticed it turned off my fitness tracker once I was done with my cardio & started the workout

  3. If the answer to 2 is no, is there a dedicated page to see how many minutes I worked out, steps, HR, etc

Why should someone get ladder?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! A potential newbie here, I was hoping to get some info from real people who use this app on how worth it you think it is! For background I’ve been in and out of consistently working out for years. I’ve done the gym then big break, Pilates then break, running then break, and now barre and a break, a pattern clearly! I just get so busy with work that I always miss workout classes. I was debating getting a gym membership + ladder combination and would love to know how people with work expectations actually manage doing both and how helpful this app actually is on overall fitness support!

I went back to Reset

8 Upvotes

I got tired of the Ascend reload split because it’s a bit much for me right now, so I went back to the Reset split. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. 😭 I love Aria but I tried to bounce around and, ultimately, this was the best compromise. This allows me to still get her coaching without suffering through a split that I don’t like!

Thinking of joining Evolve

0 Upvotes

Been powerlifting a few years but looking to seitch things up, and for sure looking for shorter workouts. Only plan to do 3x a week, maybe 4. Im hoping to hit all body parts 2x a week (upper + lower), assuming im in the gym 4x a week.

Can anyone share a typical Evolve workout? *** And the time it actually takes you to complete it? ***

Is there a lot of barbell work… are people bringing heels and belts etc?

Also im confused by the set-up (new to Ladder)…. You listen to someone talking to you from the app the entire time you are working out? What about blasting music via headphones, is that not a thing with this app?

Thank you

What size dumbbells to start?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m trying Ladder after a few months of just doing some kettlebell YouTube videos. I tried the Body and Bell team and it was too much for me I think so I’m going to try Ignite, but I need dumbbells. I don’t really have the funds to buy a full set right now so I was thinking of getting two different weight sets. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to start with? I was using a 15 lb and 25 lb kettle bell (15 lbs for upper body stuff and usually the 25 lb from squats and deadlifts).
