The key takeaways are that the program focuses on building a strong foundation of quality movement through repetition of carefully chosen exercises. It provides 4 day sessions each week focusing on different areas like strength, mobility, hand balancing, and flexibility.

The overall structure is a 4 day program, with each session broken down into sections for warm up, prep, prime, strength and movement. It provides the specific exercises and sets/reps for each section.

Some of the exercises included are squats, chin ups, pike squats, handstands, planche leans, and front splits.
