[Lift to Lean - Showdown]

Challenge start date: October 12, 2026

Challenge end date: November 22, 2026

Open to participants worldwide

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.

Love this program as the dumbbells help me focus on the specific part of the body I’m meant to be working on. I’ve never really felt that while working out on machines, really hones in on the muscle.

I have not used Solin after signing up, tried to cancel but the process is very confusing through a link that doesn’t work and there is no option to cancel. Very disappointing. After receiving 2 emails and both myself and my husband trying to contact or cancel but no luck. You need a better way of communicating and making the process easier to navigate. Please cancel my subscription. Thank you. Sohayla Mammo

I'm absolutely loving the bill to lose challenge at the moment. The coaching is amazing the community is so helpful and supportive, and I've already lost weight and gained muscle. I like it when you follow a program and it does what it's supposed to do. I will be purchasing future challenges.

Wow! I have been lifting weights consistently in fitness classes and private trainers for over 20 plus years. I am fit for my age 70. But I never saw a tractable visible change like I have in this program. It’s not that I was necessarily doing anything wrong but this program totally changed my approach. I was always asking the question: What is lifting heavy? This program teaches that principle and how to track and see results. My daughter and I joined this challenge together. She is also very fit and exercise has is a very important part of her life. We talk daily about this program and how it has revolutionized our training. P. S. Having a partner is a huge motivator!!

I have been used to watching cued exercise video for years so this method took a little getting used to for me but I like it and I can tell my legs are getting a more muscular look to them since I started. So glad a friend told me about this program.

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.

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. 💪🏻

Muscle Method: Build to Lose

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.
