Not everyone should start the same way. Someone who has not trained for months does not need the same entry point as someone who already moves, has gym access and simply needs structure. And someone who always quits when life gets messy does not need more motivation. They need a route that does not collapse at the first obstacle.
Radikal Reset is not about proving how tough you are. It is about choosing the path that gives you the best chance of showing up, progressing and finishing the full 8 weeks.
Answer with A, B, C or D and track which letter you choose most often.
A usually points to the Gym Route. B usually points to the Home Route. C usually points to Week 0. D usually means you need the Minimum Viable Route as your safety plan. Answer based on your real life, not your ideal version.

If you are highly detrained, start with Week 0 even if another letter appears more often.
If you have low confidence, gym anxiety, a long break from training or you do not know how to perform the basic movements, Week 0 may be the best decision before moving into Home or Gym.
If you are unsure between Week 0 and another route, start with Week 0.
Week 0 is not an inferior version and it does not mean you are behind. It is a safer entry point for people who need to learn the basics, build confidence and avoid feeling overwhelmed before starting the full Week 1.
Mostly C — Start with Week 0
Week 0 is designed to activate your body, learn movements, reduce insecurity and help you start without feeling overwhelmed from day one.
It is not a setback. It is a smart way to build momentum before entering the full Week 1.
Mostly B — Start with the Radikal Reset Home Route
This route is ideal if you want privacy, flexibility and lower friction. It is not the easy route: it is the low-friction route.
You will train with basic household equipment such as a backpack, bottles or books, stable chairs, a towel or mat, a step and your phone timer.
Mostly A — Start with the Radikal Reset Gym Route
This route fits if you have gym access and want to progress with machines, weights, a 4-day structure, exercise alternatives and clear progression.
The base structure is upper body A, lower body A, upper body B and lower body B, with easy cardio as support.
Mostly D — Use the Minimum Viable Route as your safety plan
The Minimum Viable Route is not the main route. It is your safety plan for weeks that get messy.
- First main exercise of the day.
- Second main exercise of the day.
- 8-12 minutes of easy cardio or movement.
What all routes have in common
Your next step
Once you know your route, the next step is simple: start Week 1 with the right structure and stop improvising.
Now you do not need more confusion. You need to start from the right point.
Radikal Reset is built to help you train, move, eat better and stay consistent for 8 weeks with a route that fits your real life.
