Higher Intensity (HIT), is exactly as you will feel within the first superset!

We are using supersets today but in a slightly different format! We perform a bodyweight exercise that is higher intensity and essentially will be a pre-exhaust before you pick up a weight and perform a variation! This will be demanding, but I actually think you will LOVE this!

I will at points absolutely take up to 10 seconds to ensure I am ready to perform a lift safely.

There are only 2 movements that I am jumping in, and I will provide lower-impact alternatives! But note these are simply low impact and not lower intensity!

The timer will be on for 30 seconds per exercise, followed by another variation for 30 seconds with then 20 seconds rest in between!

I often deliberate regarding rest as I could put in 5 or 10 seconds of rest in between the exercises as opposed to no specific rest to allow for time to pick up dumbbells. However, I do find that often means even more time is spent getting into position! There is no specific rest between the exercises within the supersets, but it is essential to take even 5 seconds or 10 if needed to ensure you are in a safe position as you will be lifting a weight. You will see me absolutely not rushing into position and ensuring all is good before lifting! Nothing is worth taking that risk when lifting, even more so when your heart rate is high!

We simply perform each superset for x1 set! Once we complete the 12 supersets, we repeat that full circuit one more time! So circuits…. and that means the workout passes very quickly!

All you will need for this workout is your mat, a chair/bench for Bulgarian lunges (bodyweight only) and decline push-ups!

The dumbbells I am using throughout for your reference are 2 x 10kg!
