APRIL CHALLENGE
On the Don Saladino App
The April Challenge is a 6-week program created with a simple goal: move well, get stronger, and build a body that performs. It follows the same style of training used with Sebastian Stan as he prepares for physically demanding roles.
You’ll train 5 days per week with a mix of mobility, strength work, core training, and conditioning. Each workout builds on the last, so you improve week after week.
TRAINING SPLIT
Day 1. Lower Body (Quad Dominant)
Day 2. Chest, Arms, & Back Exposure
Day 3. Conditioning + Core
Day 4. Back + Deadlift
Day 5. Shoulders, Triceps, & Chest Exposure
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Day 1 – Lower Body
This workout builds strong legs and glutes. It starts with mobility to open the hips and ankles, then moves into squats and single-leg work to develop strength and balance.
You’ll train the quads, glutes, and hamstrings while improving stability and control. The session finishes with hamstring and calf work to fully train the lower body.
Day 2 – Chest, Biceps & Back Exposure
This workout focuses on pushing strength and upper-body muscle development.
You’ll start with shoulder and upper-back warmups to improve posture and movement. Then you’ll move into pressing exercises for the chest, followed by arm work for the biceps. Back exercises are included to keep the upper body balanced and strong.
Day 3 – Conditioning + Core
This day is all about building endurance and strengthening your core.
You’ll begin with simple mobility drills, then move into intervals of cardio. You can choose your preferred machine (treadmill, stepmill, bike, rower, sled). If you are training from home your cardio could look like jogging or jumping rope. You choose what works best for you! The workout finishes with core work to strengthen the abs and stabilize the body.
Day 4 – Back & Deadlift
This session builds a strong and powerful posterior chain (back, glutes, & hamstrings).
After a mobility warm-up for the hips and spine, you’ll perform deadlifts to develop total-body strength. Pull-ups and rowing exercises build the upper back and improve posture. Additional back work rounds out the workout to strengthen the entire pulling chain.
Day 5 – Shoulders, Triceps & Chest Exposure
The final workout of the week targets the shoulders and triceps while adding a small amount of chest work.
You’ll begin with shoulder stability drills, then move into pressing and raise variations to train all parts of the shoulders. Triceps exercises build arm strength and support pressing power. A chest press finishes the workout for a final upper-body push.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Balanced Weekly Training
Each muscle group is trained while allowing time to recover.
Strength + Conditioning
You’ll build muscle while improving endurance.
Progressive Overload
Workouts gradually increase in challenge, with an added progression beginning in Week 4 to help you push strength, build muscle, and continue improving through the final weeks of the program.
Gym or Dumbbell Option
Train at a full gym or with just dumbbells.
Coaching Community Experience
ZOOM CALLS
I host three Zoom calls for real-time Q&A sessions. Special Guest, Sebastian Stan, will join us for one call to answer your questions. Big thank you to Seb for agreeing to join us… again! A percentage of every sign-up will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House NY!
You are not doing this alone!
You are training with me, inside a community that keeps you accountable and helps you stay on track when life gets busy.
Whether you want to improve body composition, build strength, recover smarter, or finally stay consistent, this community coaching program gives you the structure, coaching, and accountability you have been looking for.
PROTEIN PROTOCOL MEAL PLAN
The Protein Protocol is the simplest way to finally get your nutrition working for you instead of against you.
By anchoring every meal around protein, you’ll consistently hit your daily targets without guessing, overthinking, or chasing perfection.
You’ll learn how to set a realistic protein range, structure your meals throughout the day, and build simple, high-protein meals that support strength, energy, and body composition.
It also includes a high-protein recipe book, giving you easy, practical meals so you can follow the plan without stress or second-guessing.
No extremes. No confusion. Just a clear, sustainable way to eat that actually works long term.
Results you can see. Confidence you can feel.
Prizes you can win!

Did you push through setbacks?
Your transformation is about so much more than physical change. It’s about the mindset and commitment you bring every day.

If This Sounds Like You,
You’re in the Right Place:
You need accountability and a plan built by someone who actually coaches.
You want to feel stronger, leaner, and more energized.
You’re a busy parent or professional who needs workouts that fit your life.
You want support, not pressure.
Want a sustainable lifestyle, not a quick fix.
You want expert guidance on training, nutrition, and recovery so you’re not guessing on your own.
Real results are built with Micro-Momentum. The idea that big, sustainable progress comes from the accumulation of small, manageable actions done consistently over time.
It’s not about giant leaps. It’s about stacking small wins every single day.
One workout, one healthy meal, one good night’s sleep… they add up. Focus on the little things consistently, and you’ll build real, lasting results that go far beyond quick fixes.

Nope! Start where you are. Our Coaching Community uses the name "Challenge" to mark the six-week structure and communal start date, it's not an indicator of advanced difficulty. This program is designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you're a busy professional needing efficient workouts or an experienced lifter who wants to advance their training.
-
The biggest difference between the Coaching Community and my programs is access.
With the Coaching Community, you get daily support from me in our private group, live Zoom coaching calls, and the accountability of a group that starts and finishes the 6-week Challenge together. It’s a real-time coaching experience.
Standalone programs are great if you prefer to train on your own schedule, but if the quarterly start date works for you, the Coaching Community gives you the highest level of guidance, support, and connection. -
Every program purchase includes app access, a downloadable eBook, and a desktop dashboard (just use the same login as your app account).
You can follow your workouts however works best for you, on your phone, on your computer, or straight from the PDF.
-
You will receive a welcome email with a link to join a private Facebook group. The group provides, support, accountability, & motivation. Monday-Friday, I answer every question in the group. EVERY QUESTION!!
The FB Group is optional. You don’t need to join to participate in the Challenge, but it is a great bonus.
-
This is your time to connect with me face to face and ask me anything related to fitness, nutrition, or staying consistent. We can also talk about general health and lifestyle topics like sleep, stress, recovery, mindset, and daily habits that support your goals.
These calls are a great opportunity to connect with the community, hear from others working toward similar goals, and gain motivation and accountability through shared experiences.
Each session is one hour long and not recorded, creating a comfortable space to speak openly and get real-time feedback.
Zoom Calls are optional with time zones & work schedules they won’t work for everyone. -
All skill levels are welcome & encouraged.
Each Challenge includes a gym program & a dumbbell-only program. You can follow the program in a full gym or with a dumbbell setup at home. Everything is delivered through my app, with an eBook and desktop access if you prefer to print or view on a computer. -
Due to the nature of digital products and immediate access, all sales are final. Please make sure you have reviewed all program details before purchasing.
Upon purchase, you receive immediate access to the Don Saladino App, the printable program, the nutrition guide, the supplement guide, and the macro guide. Because these materials are delivered digitally and available instantly, we are unable to offer refunds on any programs.
If you are unable to start or complete your program right away, you have flexibility. Your program will remain in your app account for 500 days from the date of purchase, so you can complete it on your own schedule.
If you have any questions about your program or need assistance with access, please contact our support team. We’re here to help you get the most out of your training experience.
