For each body-part or muscle, instead of the usual 3-5 sets of 10-15 reps, you basically do 1 or 2 warmup sets and then perform 1 working set (6-8 reps) to absolute failure but pushing/pulling/curling the weight really slow on the negative. :dunno:
HIIT Cardio Workout gives you a well-rounded workout while burning a ton of fat and calories. “HIIT Cardio Workouts can vary greatly, from 500 calories per hour to 1500-plus calories per hour for a 180-lb man. HIIT workouts are great because of the intensity of each exercise as well as the variation of exercises and reps,” says Ryan. Pairing any body-weight movement with a weighted movement and a traditional cardio element and you have the perfect recipe for an amazing fat-burner. The best way to do it: Look for Tabata, HIIT, high-impact aerobic, and vigorous interval classes using weights at your local gym. No gym or class?
