How the program is structured
Week 1 — Learn the Movements
Low volume, full range of motion, form over everything.
Push-Ups
Hands under shoulders, body in one straight line, chest to floor.
Bodyweight Squats
Feet shoulder-width, sit hips back and down, drive through heels.
Plank Hold
Forearms down, straight line from head to heels, brace the core.
Jumping Jacks
Full arm and leg extension, land soft, steady rhythm.
Week 2 — Add Pull & Volume
Introduce pulling work and add a round.
Inverted Rows / Pull-Ups
Under a bar or table edge, pull chest to the bar, squeeze shoulder blades.
Alternating Lunges
Step forward, back knee grazes floor, drive back up through front heel.
Sit-Ups
Feet anchored, curl chest to knees, control the descent.
Week 3 — Progress the Push-Up & Pull-Up
Move toward harder variations as reps get easier.
Hand-Release Push-Ups
Lower all the way down, lift both hands off the floor briefly, then press back up — the ACFT standard, removes any bounce out of the bottom.
Tricep Dips
Hands on a bench behind you, lower until elbows hit ~90°, press up.
High Knees
Drive knees to hip height, quick feet, pump the arms.
Week 4 — Standard-Circuit Ready
Full pace, full rounds — ready to graduate to the standard program.
Burpees
Squat, hands down, kick back to plank, push-up, jump feet in, jump up.
Mountain Climbers
Hands under shoulders, drive knees to chest quickly, keep hips low.
Flutter Kicks
Lower back pressed down, small fast alternating leg kicks.
