How do I choose the right weight for these exercises?
Tonal will automatically suggest a starting weight based on your initial strength assessment; focus on hitting the rep targets with perfect form before increasing resistance manually.
Can I do this workout if I am still working on my first pull-up?
Yes, the Seated Lat Pulldown movements are perfect for building the specific vertical pulling strength needed to eventually master a bodyweight pull-up.
What should I do if my grip starts to tire before my back does?
This is common for beginners; focus on squeezing the handles or bar firmly and trust Tonal's Spotter Mode to reduce the weight if it senses your form is breaking down.
How many times a week should I perform this Pull workout?
For best results in fat loss and muscle toning, aim to perform this routine 1 to 2 times per week, ensuring you have at least one rest or 'Push' day in between.
