The new form of training I’m introducing combines two rounds of high-intensity cardio with two rounds of weight training. I like to call it Volume Resistance HIIT. The effect of this routine on metabolic rate is insane: it will ramp up, so your body will burn more and more calories post-workout.
Before you start
Always begin with an exercise-specific warm-up. If you’re going to work your legs, do some lunges and slow squats before picking up any weights. This is really important to prevent injuries and ensure you get the most out of your workout, so please don’t skip it!
Ideally, you’ll do four sessions a week, targeting different parts of the body, with three rest days. The rest days are essential for recovery and will enhance your results. I recommend doing no more than two workout days in a row.
