Who it suits. This is the middle step of the fat-loss track — the right length when you have a realistic amount of fat to lose and enough patience to lose it without starving. No barbell is required anywhere in the program, which makes it a natural fit for a commercial gym at peak hours or a well-equipped home setup. Six training days is a real commitment, though: if your week can't absorb that, run the shorter 28-day block instead. And the usual honesty applies — the sessions preserve muscle and burn some calories, but the deficit you hold in the kitchen is what actually gets you lean.

How it progresses. Every lift follows double progression: same weight until all sets reach the ceiling of the rep range (mostly 10–15 here, higher-rep than a barbell program because dumbbell and machine work tolerates it), then a 2.5 kg bump and back to the floor of the range. Two misses at a weight triggers a 10% reset. The cardio increases are baked into each week's session, so there are no decisions to make mid-block. Pair it with a 300–500 kcal deficit and 1.6–2.2 g of protein per kg of bodyweight, and log the food — Durata's nutrition tracking sits alongside the workouts, and its logger auto-chains the rowing intervals so the timer runs the session for you.

Who it suits. Choose this over the shorter cuts when the goal is a genuine transformation — ten-plus kilos to lose, or a full recomp you want to document properly. What it demands isn't heroics but adherence: an average week here is easier than the back half of the 28-Day Shred, and that's the point, because you have to repeat it twelve times while eating less than you burn. If you can't yet hold a routine for a month, prove that on the 28-day block first. The training keeps the muscle; a sustained, moderate calorie deficit with 1.6–2.2 g of protein per kg does the fat loss, all twelve weeks of it.

How it progresses. Lifts progress by double progression — work every set to the top of the rep range, add 2.5 kg, repeat — and over twelve weeks those small jumps quietly add up to a much stronger you at a lighter bodyweight. Each week's cardio targets are pre-baked, so the only job is showing up. Because scale weight lies over a horizon this long, take a weekly progress photo from day one: Durata turns them into a time-lapse, and around week six — when the scale stalls and motivation wobbles — the visual difference is usually what keeps the deficit honest.

Common questions

How is this different from the 28-Day Shred and 60-Day Cut?

Length, equipment and pace. The 28-day block is barbell-based and aggressive, the 60-day is dumbbell/machine, and this one blends both pools over twelve weeks with the gentlest weekly cardio increments — smaller steps, but far more of them, ending with the biggest total conditioning volume of the three.

Are 60-Day Cut and 90-Day Transformation free?

Yes. Both are free to run in Durata, and each one's page shows every set of every session.
