Why this order

We start with large compound movements like the Lat Pulldown to recruit the most muscle fiber early when energy is highest. Exercises are grouped by accessory to minimize transition time while the rep schemes shift from moderate strength to high volume finishers to deplete glycogen and trigger fat loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight should I start with?

Tonal will automatically suggest a starting weight based on your initial strength assessment, but feel free to lower it slightly during the higher-rep sets.

Can I use the bar for all movements?

This workout is specifically designed to use both handles and the bar to provide different angles of resistance, which is key for muscle definition.

How do I know if I am resting too long?

Aim to start your next set as soon as your breathing settles; Tonals workout timer is a great tool to keep you on track.
