Equipment
Workout Plan
Maintain a fast pace with only 30 to 45 seconds of rest between sets to keep your heart rate elevated.
Neutral Grip Deadlift
Hamstrings, Glutes, Abs
Drive through your heels and use the digital weight to maintain tension at the top of the deadlift.
Goblet Squat
Glutes, Quads, Abs
Keep the handles pulled close to your chest to engage your core as you sit back into the squat.
Why this order
This workout follows a compound to isolation sequence to prioritize heavy lifting when energy is highest. By grouping all exercises with handles, we minimize transition time to keep the heart rate high for fat loss. The rep schemes transition from power focused sets of 10 to a metabolic burnout of 20 reps on the calves.

What starting weight should I use for the deadlifts?
Tonal will automatically suggest a starting weight based on your initial strength assessment. For fat loss, focus on a weight that feels challenging but allows you to complete all 10 reps with perfect form.
Can I use the bar instead of handles for this workout?
This specific program uses handles to allow for a more natural range of motion and easier setup for the goblet movements. Sticking with handles ensures you can transition quickly between exercises to keep your heart rate up.
How often should I perform this lower body session?
Since this is a high intensity fat loss session, aim for 2 to 3 times per week with at least one day of rest or upper body work in between to allow for muscle recovery.
