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 Lift to Lean 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 Lift to Lean 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 Lift to Lean - 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.

Lift with Cee Annual
Cee is the best! Her challenges (and the annual subscription in particular) are easily the best value out there—the annual subscription is the cost of one online program with some other coaches/trainers, and the quality of Cee’s content, her coaching, and the Solin app are all far ahead of others I’ve tried. Her workouts are straightforward, easy to follow, and super effective. I always feel like they pack an excellent challenge into a short time, which is exactly what I want, and they don’t require me to have the space or the funds for a bunch of equipment—a set of dumbbells really is all you need. I love that she is so focused on form, with really helpful, clear, and detailed demos for every exercise. Her challenges are well structured and packed with great info and coaching support, and it’s clear she really puts a lot into the quality. I also love the Solin app—reliable time and rep/weight tracking, easy to navigate, and I am pleasantly surprised by how helpful the AI assistant is in assessing each workout and recommending where and how to increase the challenge next time. If you’re looking for an online weight lifting program, I’m telling you: this is the one!

I would have to say I pretty much like everything about this program. I like a routine so this fits right into my lifestyle. I find the community extremely supportive. I like the pep talks we get from Cee . I love that it feels like just enough as far as a workout I never feel beat up by it physically or mentally. I have been lifting weights for most of my life and sometimes It’s really hard to keep going on your own. With this program I’m technically alone but in reality, there is a lot of support so you are not really alone! I am seeing great results, feels like we get the right talk from Cee at the right time. The only issues I’ve personally had are, there are some exercises particularly in this last round that I am unable to do because of neck issues so I find a substitute for that exercise. This is my second challenge. I highly recommend joining!

In June 2025, I discovered Cheryl’s YouTube channel and started lifting weights with her three times a week. In January 2026, I committed to my first 6-week challenge, and I’ve been following the program ever since. In the beginning, I took baby steps and focused on learning the exercises, proper form/breathing, and choosing the right weights. During the next challenge, I shifted my focus to nutrition and followed the guidance and information Cheryl shared. I’m so happy to say that I reached my goal and lost 10 pounds! 🎉 While that is GREAT, I have to say the ultimate, bestest, absolutely fantastic part of this journey is that I am SO MUCH STRONGER than I was before—and that is what I’m proudest of! My strength has improved significantly. I can actually feel the muscles in my body, I move more easily, and I simply feel healthier, stronger, and better overall. I’m 67 years old, and I am proud to say that I am 67, proud, and STRONG! 💪❤️ Thank you, Cheryl, for creating a program that has helped me become stronger—not just lighter. I’m excited to keep going!

I’ve tried to do other programs and just couldn’t stay consistent. What I love about Cheryl’s program is that it has 3 full body workouts a week with walking daily. I just turned 57 and use to workout consistently since I was 20 but menopause hit at 51 and through me into a tailspin where I fell off course. If this is you I highly recommend this program I love that I can do this at home or go to the gym. Love this program & it works.

The program is fantastic in terms of results and community. It is all very adaptable to accommodate each person’s goals and schedule. The community is there for support and accountability, and I have also benefited a lot just from seeing how others handle different challenges, whether that’s been recovery from an injury, battling food noise, balancing lifting with other athletic pursuits, staying consistent when traveling or during other frantic times. I saw significant body recomposition in my first two challenges. since then, I have focused more on strength and used the programs to support my running, in particular a speed development training block. I have become much more durable as a runner and able to train much more consistently without disruption from a running related injury than I have ever before. Cee is a no-nonsense, science-based trainer. Her programming has my knees feeling better than they have in many many years. I Highly recommend her challenges!

I feel strong and I definitely look better, my clothes fit better and I’m really still working on the nutrition aspect, but I’ve been getting better at that too from week to week. I’ll be 70 in January and honestly this has been life changing for me.

And, as I have, I’m seeing more energy to face my days, better sleep at night, my old injuries that I’ve protected are healing and getting stronger, and yes, as a bonus, my clothes fit better and I see definition where there wasn’t any a few months back. My favorite part is that I feel more energetic and youthful then I have in well over a decade! That’s an investment in my future self. Thank you Cheryl, for your investment in me and all of us!

I found that some of the posts Cheryl made were often just at the right time and so I was able to always move forward in a way that was going to provide me with the best information to eat healthy, avoid injury and, most importantly, push to failure. I have a lot to lose and this was my first challenge with this program and I have been very happy with the results. I have been 100% on my workouts and nutrition.

I think I’ve already left one review, probably in the 2nd week. I’m still very impressed with this program and I’m seeing very positive results. The community input is really helpful and keeps me motivated. The app is easy to use and I feel accountability to myself to keep doing the workouts when I have to record my progress. I REALLY like how simple this is!! No decision making and moves are easy to do, but the challenge is there to increase reps and do better next time. I’ve tried several other online programs and always lost interest after a couple of weeks. I’m sticking with this method!! It works and I’m feeling and looking so much better. I encourage others to give the six week introduction a try. I think I you’ll be hooked.

Have done a few of Cheryl’s challenges now. Found her on YT but soon switched to the very reasonable priced challenges (a fraction of the cost of the gym) on the Solin app. What I love is her straight forward REALLY helpful advice that she shares sometimes multiple times daily. My initial goal was to improve bone strength (parent has osteoporosis) as well as muscle strength and be able to pull myself out the pool and open the pickle jar myself! Both of which I can now do with ease. Thank you Cheryl from this 59yr old for switching my future to one I’m excited about …not dreading xx
