Why this order

The workout starts with a heavy barbell deadlift to recruit the maximum number of muscle fibers while you are fresh. We then move into supersets using handles to minimize transition time and maintain a high metabolic rate. The session finishes with a duration-based isometric hold to fully exhaust the quads and glutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight should I start with for the supersets?

Start with Tonal's suggested weight but be prepared to lower it by 10 percent if you find your heart rate spiking too high to complete the sets.

Can I use the bench for Bulgarian Split Squats?

Yes, place your back foot on the Tonal bench and ensure your front foot is far enough forward to maintain balance before engaging the digital weight.

How often should I perform this specific lower body workout?

Because this is a high-intensity session focused on fat loss, aim for twice a week with at least 48 hours of recovery between sessions.
