EXPERT TIPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The focus of this high-intensity workout is speed (with quality movement). <\/strong>There will be higher reps, and this will challenge your heart and lungs \u2013 therefore pace yourself. If you’re using more weight on the barbell, try breaking the reps into smaller sets, e.g. 5 reps at a time. Overall, find a pace that will allow you to concentrate on speed without compromising technique. And use the 20 secs rest to recover as much as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As your fitness improves, you will be able to push yourself further each time you perform the workout and add more load or perform more reps. Make a note of the total number of reps at the end and try to beat it next time. This way, you’ll keep track of your progress easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
