The document outlines three workout programs - beginner, intermediate, and advanced - designed for people following the Velocity Diet. Each program consists of two phases and is meant to be performed three times per week.

The three workout programs are designed for beginners, those with 2-3 years of consistent lifting experience (intermediate), and those who have been training with weights consistently for at least 3 years (advanced).

Each program is split into two phases - phase I for the 28 day Velocity Diet and phase II for the 2 week transition period. The workouts are split into circuits (A and B) consisting of 3 or 4 exercises each that are performed for a set number of sets and repetitions.
