Lower Body Fat Loss Workout - 20min Advanced
This high-intensity lower body blast maximizes caloric burn by pairing heavy barbell compounds with challenging unilateral movements. You will target the entire posterior chain and quads while maintaining a heart rate elevated for fat loss. This session is designed for advanced lifters who want to push their metabolic limits using Tonal's dynamic resistance.
This is for the advanced athlete or busy professional who needs a time-efficient way to maintain lean muscle while cutting body fat. It is perfect for those who want to improve their power-to-weight ratio for sports like cycling or running.
Equipment
Workout Plan

Glutes, Hamstrings
Drive through your heels and engage your glutes as Tonal increases the digital weight at the top of the pull.
Barbell Front Squat
Quads, Glutes, Abs
Keep your elbows high and core braced to prevent the bar from pulling your chest forward.

Explode onto your toes and pause for a second to feel the peak tension from the cables.
Why this order
We start with heavy barbell deadlifts and squats to recruit maximum muscle fibers while you are fresh. The workout then shifts to high-rep Bulgarian split squats and calf raises to induce metabolic stress and maximize the fat loss effect. Grouping the barbell moves first minimizes equipment changes during the circuit.
