Why this order
This workout begins with a heavy barbell compound movement to maximize muscle fiber recruitment while you have the most energy. We then transition to a handle-based circuit to minimize equipment changes and keep intensity high. The high-repetition finishers create metabolic stress, which is the primary driver for caloric burn on Tonal.

How heavy should I set the weight for the first set?
Tonal will suggest a starting weight based on your assessment, but you should aim for a load where the last 2-3 reps of each set feel challenging yet manageable with perfect form.
Do I need any extra equipment for the Glute Bridge?
No, just use the handles as prescribed. You can lie on the Tonal bench or a floor mat to ensure you are comfortable while maintaining tension on the cables.
What if I feel the weight is too heavy during the high-rep sets?
Ensure you have the 'Spotter' feature turned on. Tonal will automatically detect if you are struggling and reduce the digital weight so you can safely complete your reps.
