Muscle Method: Build to Lose

You’re already active. You’re already lifting and nothing is changing - so you figure you need to do more. More workouts, more cardio, more restriction. But more isn’t the answer. A better signal is. Progressive overload tells your muscles to grow. More activity just makes you tired. All you need is dumbbells, three full body workouts per week, and a program that gives your body the right signal.

Here’s the structure: two different workouts come with the Muscle Method: Build to Lose challenge that you’ll repeat for three weeks each. Why? Because that’s how you get stronger. Progressive overload isn’t some fitness buzzword - it’s literally how your muscles grow. You need time with the same movements to add reps and then weight.

Here’s what happens when you do the same exercises for multiple weeks:

Week 1 - Learning movement patterns, finding your working weights, nervous system is figuring out which muscles to fire, when to fire them, and how to coordinate everything smoothly

Week 2 - Reduced soreness, improved performance, strength building starts

Week 3 - Peak performance where maximum gains occur

Two blocks. Six weeks. That’s the whole formula.

This isn’t a newbie thing - this is everyone’s timeline, no matter how many years you’ve been lifting. It’s exactly why even the most experienced lifters (myself included!) get sore when they switch to a new workout.

Every challenge includes brand new workouts. Some exercises repeat across programs - that’s not an oversight, that’s the point. Research shows the same foundational movements move the needle for women. What changes is the challenge you bring to them. More reps. Heavier weights. That’s progressive overload.

And here’s the part that matters most - you’re not figuring this out alone. I’m in the community with you every single day of the 42 days - answering questions, calling out wins, and keeping you on track. Your Cee-sters are there too, doing the exact same workouts, cheering each other on, and showing up even when it’s hard. Whether you’re in your basement or at the gym, you’ve got support.

Is nutrition included?

If you want a simple “tell me what to eat” guide, you can add Solin’s 4-week Meal Plan and Nutrition Bundle - a 122-page guide with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and non-dairy options, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. Inside the private community, I also share information on calories, macros, and food tracking so you can set your calories based on your goal - whether that’s building muscle, or building muscle and losing fat at the same time.

What if I go on vacation?

Simply pause when you need to and resume where you left off. You have lifetime access to the Muscle Method: Build to Lose challenge - no expiry, no catch. Repeat it as many times as you want, whenever you want.

FAQs

Workouts run 45-60 minutes depending on your rest between sets
Built for women who’ve lifted before - even if it’s been a while
Every exercise includes demos with verbal cues from me - these are not follow-along workouts
Start with whatever weights you’ve been using - the right weight is completely individual to your current strength level
The Solin app is free to download - no monthly fee required
One-time investment for lifetime access to Muscle Method: Build to Lose - that’s not a misprint

You’re not lifting to stay the same. You want to see it - in the mirror, in your clothes, in the way you carry yourself. Six weeks with the right system and you will.

I have been lifting weights for a year on my own following different videos. I do enjoy the fact that I work my upper and lower body at the same time in one day. I have accomplished three days of lifting weights in a one week and what I’ve noticed is that all the exercises are the same. Will they stay the same or will they change? That’s my only question and that might be my only concern. I’m sure there is theory behind it so far I like it.

The app is so easy to fill in and it populates your weights and reps for next time so you can see the progress. Cute lifting totals to add to insta or send to friends. It’s just nice and simple

I actually filled out a google form with my detailed experience so far. As a 55 year fitness enthusiast, it was time for me to kick it down a notch from my YEARS of lifting 4-5 days a week and more! At W2D2 I am thrilled so far and look forward to finishing this 6-weeks and continuing on in the future! Cheryl is an amazing trainer, communicator, educator and more!

I've been doing Cheryl's YouTube videos for a few years, but could never stick to it for any length of time to see results. I decided to go all in and join her annual option for her Solin programs. I'm absolutely amazed at the results I'm seeing. Not just on the scale, but in how my clothes fit, the energy I have, the strength I have day to day. The community in these challenges is everything and a big part of why the program works. It just clicked and I'm finally seeing the pay off for my effort. 💪🏻

On my fourth challenge and loving it! I followed Cee's workouts on YouTube for a couple of years but realized I just wasn't challenging myself enough (very little progressive overload - I don't think I really understood it). Now, with Cee's daily coaching tips and overall structure of the program, I am finally seeing results! I tried for years to lose the belly fat only to be told by both my GP and a nutritionist that I may just have to accept the belly fat as part of aging. I can't wait to see my GP in November to show her the 3+ inches I've already lost from my waist. And, that's really just the icing. I've also gained a good amount of muscle and feel so much stronger which is SO important as I start to head uphill into "elder" status. Thanks for everything, Cee!

I love this program. It’s simple. There are no crazy moves that make you feel like you can’t accomplish a workout, there’s no fuss to it you just work. It tracks you weight week to week and getting that PR with the star becomes something to look forward to! I especially love that I know if there is an exercise I don’t especially love (I’m looking at you single leg lunges) I’m not stuck doing them forever and something about that feels quite freeing! Overall this program feels like a huge win for me.

I’ve been doing Cheryl’s challenges since the beginning. At 63 I am far better shape than I was at 45 or 50 when I was wrecking my self doing 3 to 5 boot camps and cardio classes a week. Much more muscle and down 20 lbs. not to mention the community. So much support and positivity. I sit down with my breakfast and tea every morning and read Cheryl’s and the Ceesters posts. It is my sanity saver in this crazy world 🤪

I love how the app reminds you to go beyond your previous reps and/or weights. You get a ‘burst’ of stars when you increase! Nice reminder and reinforcement!

The absolute best workout program ever! I have worked with personal trainers and the attention to detail in these programs is second to none! I found working with a trainer to be restricting and a lot more time consuming as I had to record myself and submit and then have zoom meetings to discuss the workout. With this program I do at my convenience and the only competition is myself ( which I might add is tough competition 😂) I started with the YouTube videos which got me hooked and have been with Cheryl from the beginning and plan to continue! Thanks for the amazing coaching and content!

This is my second challenge with Cheryl. I absolutely love it. It’s hard, but SO GOOD at the same time. Keeping weights heavy, and reps down to the 8-12 range, with only three lifts per week, makes her challenges efficient and accessible. The community and creator posts are instrumental in helping motivate me, and the FAQs are not to be missed. Cheryl covers everything from nutrition, to form, to fatigue. After 9 weeks, I can feel the difference, even if it’s not super visible yet. I started off with 15 lb rows, and have increased to 45 lb rows, so I know the visible changes are coming. The gains feel unbelievably good!! So glad I found this program!

I very much enjoyed my first week of Muscle Method: Build to Lose…it took me till the third day to feel comfortable with what I was lifting and the number of reps. I’m interested to see how I go after a three day break from weights.
