This workout is designed for beginners who want to improve their upper body aesthetics and functional pushing strength. It is ideal for busy individuals aiming for fat loss without sacrificing lean muscle development.
Equipment
Workout Plan
Rest 30-45 seconds between movements within supersets and 60 seconds between major exercise blocks to maintain a high metabolic demand.
Barbell Bench Press
Chest, Triceps, Abs
Drive the bar straight up toward the ceiling while keeping your shoulder blades pinned to the bench.
Inline Chest Press
Chest, Triceps, Abs
Exhale as you push the handles away, ensuring the cables stay clear of your forearms.
Bench Chest Fly
Chest, Shoulders
Maintain a slight bend in your elbows and focus on the deep stretch at the bottom of the movement.
Standing Overhead Press
Shoulders, Triceps
Keep your core braced and ribs tucked to avoid arching your back as you press the handles vertically.
Skull Crusher
Triceps
Keep your elbows fixed in place and utilize Tonal's digital weight for a slow, controlled negative phase.
Why this order
The workout begins with the Barbell Bench Press to recruit maximum muscle fibers when energy is highest. It then transitions into handle-based supersets that group bench and standing movements together to minimize equipment changes. This progression from heavy compound lifts to high-rep isolation movements ensures complete muscular fatigue and optimal fat-burning results.

What if the suggested weight feels too light for a fat loss goal?
Tonal uses your initial strength assessment to set weights, but you can manually increase the digital weight if you find yourself completing the 15-rep sets without reaching near-failure.
Can I perform this workout without the Tonal bench?
This specific program utilizes the bench for three movements to provide the stability needed for beginner-level chest development. Using the bench allows you to focus on muscle engagement rather than core balance.
How often should I perform this Chest and Triceps circuit?
For fat loss and muscle retention, aim to perform this session twice per week, ensuring at least 48 hours of rest between sessions for muscle recovery.
