Work Out


Unable to make your personal training session so try one of our many home work outs, easily accessible now.

Today’s session again combines heavy weights training with a cardiovascular element. Complete all the reps of the resistance exercises first and then move on to the cardiovascular circuit. Similarly, the 30/50 reps should be completed per exercise before moving on to the next resistance exercise. In other words, finish all 50 squats before moving on to do the 50 push-ups. Take as many sets as needed to get all 50 reps done.
Choose a heavy weight…
Selecting an appropriate weight is very important for this workout. As in workout 20, select a weight you STRUGGLE to lift for 10 reps. It should be hard, but achievable with good form. Do not increase the weight as you proceed, make sure you select an appropriate weight from the beginning. Remember to warm up properly before beginning. If you’re not warm, you will likely struggle at an early stage.
Having selected your weight, undertake the specified number of reps using as many sets as you need. As your legs get tired, it will become harder to do sets of 10. Reduce the number, doing one/ two reps at a time if necessary. If you find this workout easy, you’ve not selected a heavy enough weight. It should take you some time.
