Is toning up one of your fitness goals? Build muscle and shred fat through Beachbody’s newest strength training program, LIIFT More!
Juuust about EVERYONE I speak to regarding their goals in fitness says that “toning up” is a goal for them, but we need to talk about HOW to get the muscle tone you’ve been dreaming of.
I want to make the point that losing weight is one thing, and toning/building your muscles is quite another! The good news is that both *can* be accomplished at once with the right tools and actions, and I’ve got to tell you that having a strength training regimen is the thing that will get you to where you wanna be.
How about a program that sheds body fat and incorporates resistance training, all bundled up with your choice of two healthy nutrition plans and supplements to support your body along the way?
Let me Tell You Everything You Need to Know About LIIFT More
LIIFT More is Beachbody’s newest strength training that just released in Summer 2022 and it’s an incredible option to not just reach those goals, but to SURPASS them and show yourself that you CAN!
And you guys, trust me, THAT type of mindset gain is truly invaluable.
Here’s what you need to know when considering taking on this program when you already live a super busy life.
What are the workouts like in LIIFT More?
LIIFT More is a traditional strength training program and the sequel to one of the most popular Beachbody programs of all time, LIIFT 4.
This program is for anyone who wants to efficiently build muscle with little time! The moves are foundational, basic strength moves, making it a suitable program for all fitness levels.
LIIFT More is considered an intermediate/advanced workout program in the Beachbody on Demand library. However, due to the foundational and basic movement patterns of the strength moves & focus on correct form, anyone interested in strength training can do LIIFT More. As with all of our fitness programs, there is always a cast member on screen doing modified versions of the exercises, so if lifting is new for you: this is the person to follow! Joel encourages you to go at your own pace and choose weights that are appropriate for YOUR fitness level all along the way 🥰
LIIFT More Program Details
Here’s the breakdown:
- 5 strength training workouts/week, 2 rest days (5 days is my personal sweet spot!)
- 35–45 minutes per LIIFT More workout
- 8 weeks long with 2 phases:
- Phase 1 alternates traditional weightlifting days with lift + HIIT days to help you build strength and lean muscle while burning fat
- Phase 2 follows a similar format, but Joel changes it up with new training splits, more volume, and more intensity
- No workout repeats – all 40 are unique so you’ll never be bored & continue to be challenged!
- HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) component in approximately half the workouts
- Abs-focused finisher at the end of every workout to shred and strengthen your core
- BONUS! You also get 9 LIIFT Express bonus workouts (20 minutes each) for days when you’re short on time or just want an extra challenge. So, if you’re thinking about that vacation or work trip you have planned and wondering how you could make it work, we’ve got you covered!

Success is in the simplicity. Joel keeps the moves simple so they’re easy to follow, but he sets a pace that keeps you working hard to make every minute count and keep the calories burning.
Like I mentioned above, LIIFT MORE can work for anyone, from the ambitious beginner to the advanced weightlifter. Joel helps you build confidence as you challenge yourself to lift heavier, and THAT, my friends, is what it’s all about! Accepting the challenge, accepting that you have space to grow and improve, and accepting that it will be hard BUT it will be WORTH IT for the confidence and strength you get at the end!
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Joel Freeman?
Creator of LIIFT MORE™, 10 Rounds™, and LIIFT4®, and co-creator of CORE DE FORCE® (one of my very first programs and the last DVD set I bought before we launched our On Demand app 🥺), Joel is an NASM certified personal trainer who has spent 20 years helping people transform their bodies and change their lives. His strength, HIIT, core, and cycling classes will help you crush your fitness goals and unlock your athletic potential!
What about nutrition?
I know lots of people often feel like they need to “just pick one” in the beginning when it comes to either fitness or nutrition, but I’d argue that BOTH are incredibly important! Nutrition may just be the bigger game changer of them all because it affects your body in just about every way, but even small changes at first go a LONG way. From energy, to brain power, to muscle building and sculpting, to mental health — it matters.
We don’t believe in diets here! We believe in eating healthy for the long term to really support your health.
So, to put every tool in one place, with our Total Fitness getting started bundle you will get permanent access to both the 2B Mindset and Portion Fix nutrition programs! As well as 1-week LIIFT MORE sample meal plans for each of our programs to help you get started. I’ve followed both of these programs with much success but I’m currently a 2B Bunny and I love it.
Don’t know what I mean? Read my raving review of the 2B Mindset here!
Both of these programs teach you realistic approaches to healthy eating and will help you get your best results with LIIFT MORE.
Your choice of two full nutrition programs:
👉 The Portion Fix Both focuses on portion control and fueling your body with the proper macros and food groups according to its needs AND your goals. And no matter what’s running through your mind right now when you read the words “portion control”, I PROMISE that you would be surprised at what that really looks like!
👉 2B Mindset is more of an intuitive approach that gives you a lot of useful tools! You will learn to plate your meals to meet your body’s macro needs, and effective mantras to help you stay on track in any situation. This program gets you in tune with your body as you find out what really works and DOESN’T work for you! There is even ongoing education through videos, groups and biweekly office hours and I love how supportive this community is.
Plus, both programs include guidance on how to eat for muscle building, especially helpful info when doing a program like LIIFT More!
I’m a BIG fan of both plans 🙋♀️ I’ve made them work for me in so many scenarios:
- as a pregnant and newly postpartum mama
- while doing intense fitness programs
- while on vacation
- while living with my in-laws
- every phase in between
It’s possible!
Take this super quick quiz to find out which nutrition program might be right for YOU!
Is the adjustable bench required to do LIIFT MORE?
Yes, the adjustable bench is required for this program. The program was designed with a bench to make the moves more effective, up the intensity, reduce momentum, and ensure you can push with weights. You’ll want it for this program and beyond as it’s a staple and a good investment for your home gym!
You’ll want it to reach 90 degrees, 45 degrees and lay flat.
Some options:
You can find one on Amazon, at Dick’s, Aldi’s, or a local sports equipment store!
Here’s a suggestion for one on Amazon that I see plenty of people buying. It’s foldable for easy storage so if space is an issue, something like this could work!
Ask around! A friend may have one you could borrow or you may be able to find a used one on Facebook Marketplace or Craig’s List.
Beachbody is also offering a $20 Discount on the CORE Home Fitness Bench that Joel uses while filming (code: LIIFTMORE).
What program materials/resources do I get in addition to the LIIFT MORE workouts?
I’m personally a pen and paper type of gal, so I appreciate having a printed workout calendar and tracking sheets to mark my progress each week! Here’s what you get as the basic program materials:
- Get Started Guide
- Workout Calendar
- Weight Tracker
- 1-Week Portion Fix Meal Plans
- 1-Week 2B Mindset Meal Plans
- Quick Start Nutrition Guide
