Equipment
Workout Plan
Rest 45 seconds between exercises in the same superset and 60 to 90 seconds between different supersets to maintain a high metabolic demand.
Barbell Deadlift
Glutes, Hamstrings, Abs
Engage your lats and keep the bar close to your shins as you drive through your heels.
Barbell Lying Glute Bridge
Glutes, Hamstrings
Squeeze your glutes at the top and avoid overarching your lower back against the bench.
Goblet Squat
Glutes, Quads, Abs
Keep the handles tucked tight to your chest and drive your knees outward as you descend.
Alternating Goblet Reverse Lunge
Glutes, Hamstrings, Quads
Maintain a tall posture and tap your back knee lightly while keeping weight in the front heel.
Resisted Calf Raise
Calves
Pause for a full second at the top of the contraction to maximize the digital weight tension.
Resisted Glute Bridge

Press through your heels and hold the peak contraction to feel the constant cable resistance.
Why this order
We start with heavy barbell deadlifts to recruit the most muscle fibers while you are fresh before moving into handle-based movements. Exercises are grouped by accessory to minimize transition time and keep your heart rate up for fat loss. This flow transitions from high-intensity posterior chain work to quad-dominant finishers.

Do I need to change weights manually between superset exercises?
Tonal automatically adjusts the digital weight for each movement based on your strength profile, so you can focus on the next exercise immediately.
Can I use the Barbell for the lunges if I prefer?
While you can substitute, using handles for lunges as programmed allows for better balance and helps maintain the fast pace required for fat loss.
What if the weight feels too light during the high-rep calf raises?
You can use the on-screen weight dial to increase resistance, but remember that Tonal's digital weight provides constant tension throughout the full range of motion.
