Feeling strong is life-changing. But most of us never even get the chance to experience the difference it makes, because we think strength is only for linebackers and Olympic athletes. Wrong! Strength is for everyone, and no one has more to gain from it than people who have never tried it.

LIFTOFF aims to make daily life never again feel as physically unmanageable as it does now (insert infomercial b-roll of me bobbling a suitcase as I try to put it in the overhead bin and it bursts open, intimate underthings flying everywhere). This program will help you learn how to think about strength training in new ways that are directly helpful to you. If squats hurt your knees, or doing any lifting strains your lower back, that's not because you are not meant to do these things; it probably means no one ever taught you the basics of how to do them properly. LIFTOFF is here to teach you how to do it properly.

As a Swole Woman columnist, the top two questions I am asked are ""How did you get started?"" and ""How did you keep going?"" LIFTOFF: Couch to Barbell answers both of those questions. Whether you've never tried strength training before, or feel like you've tried and failed a million times, this 12-week couch-to-lifting-weights program will take you from zero experience with using weights or being in a weight room, to confidently claiming the squat rack.

Reviews for Liftoff: Couch to Barbell

""In a deeper way, though, Johnston thinks building strength is a way to create an entirely different kind of relationship with your body. When tackling some of the thorniest questions in fitness-should I be doing cardio? Should I be eating carbs? What should my body look like?-the answer for Johnston can almost always come from asking ""What would help you get stronger?"" It's the key that opens every door."" - GQ I started LIFTOFF still afraid of the weight section at the gym and discouraged by exercise culture... LIFTOFF helped me feel confident, and I knew my form would keep me safe and strong. Where I've seen the most changes practically are in my day-to-day life. It is easier for me to walk up a hill, to stand up from the ground, or to lift my dog's ridiculous 60lb bag of dog food and carry it down the hall. - Kelsey McKinney, Normal Gossip co-host, Defector co-founder and writer [My partner] and I bought/did LIFTOFF based on [Casey's] appearance on Chris' Hayes' podcast and holy shit... improved our lives tremendously. -DC Pierson, comedian, author, and actor I signed up for Casey Johnston's LIFTOFF program (it's very good by the way) and today is the THE FIRST GD DAY, and some nosy man came over to correct my form (I DIDN'T NEED IT) and I yelled at him which he accepted so now I have a new gym friend who is afraid of me. LIFTOFF works! -Scaachi Koul, author and cultural critic
