2. “The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory!”
Are the STRONGER workouts a walk in the park? No. Will the workouts transform your body in just eight weeks? Absolutely. The 8-Week STRONGER Challenge includes 10 30-minute body-shredding workouts that will get you fit fast. Follow Nicky as he helps you get the lean and healthy body you want.
3. “If those legs are shakin’, the calories are bakin’.”
This is Nicky Holender's version of "no pain, no gain." You'll mostly hear this one during squats. As a former professional soccer player, Nicky knows the importance of having strong legs. Plus, remember that muscle burns more calories than fat, so the stronger your legs are, the more calories you'll burn (even outside of your workouts). With STRONGER, you'll burns tons of calories! Plus, the LIVESTRONG.COM MyPlate app offers tools to track your progress daily so you can stay on track.
4. “The secret to weight loss is: There is no secret.”
If you want to earn it, you have to work for it. Once you've made that decision, Nicky will help you all the way until you reach your fitness goals. And there is really no secret, as he says. You have to work out and eat right. With STRONGER you not only get Nicky Holender's daily workouts, but an entire program with all the tools to succeed. Track your food and your progress, and talk to other people who are doing the 8-Week STRONGER Challenge and working hard to achieve their goals — just like you.

7. “There’s no such thing as getting it wrong...”
"There's just different ways of getting it right." You had to learn to walk before you could learn to run. The same applies for STRONGER. Every day you do the workouts, you'll get better at them. First, focus on getting the form right, and then add the intensity. All of the workouts offer a modified version so that you'll always have an alternative. And whether you follow Nicky or the modifier on certain moves, you'll get the results.
8. “Release your inner athlete.”
Nicky Holender has helped countless celebrity clients get the bodies of their dreams — including A-list movie stars and professional soccer players. STRONGER incorporates moves that you might never have seen before in a fat-torching workout that will also help you increase your physical performance across the board. Increase your stamina, jump higher and run faster.
9. “Everything you put into this, you will get out of it.”
By pushing you hard — with short bursts of high-intensity exercises that force your body to rev up your metabolism and get shredded — you will get stronger and leaner, faster.

10. “No unhealthy food tastes as good as being in shape feels.”
Next time you're about to get a burger and fries or pizza, think about this. You'll enjoy a burger only for as long as it takes you to eat it. Getting in shape will make you feel good day and night for the rest of your life — as long as you keep it up.
11. “When you were a kid, this wasn’t work — this was play!”
Do you remember back when you used to run around the neighborhood with your friends, climb trees and play sports with a bunch of kids? Why did you ever stop? It was so fun! STRONGER will bring that positive, high-energy feeling back in your workout. There is nothing better than enjoying what you do, and yes, that includes fat-burning workouts.
