What weight should I start with if I am new to Tonal?
Tonal will suggest a starting weight based on your initial strength assessment. For fat loss, focus on completing all reps with good form rather than chasing a personal record.
Can I do this workout if I have knee sensitivity?
Yes, but focus on the bench squat variations or limit your range of motion. Tonal's Spotter Mode will automatically reduce weight if it senses you are struggling or moving too slowly.
How often should I perform this lower body session?
For best results in a fat-loss phase, aim for 2 to 3 times per week, allowing at least 48 hours of recovery between leg days.
