Maintain a staggered stance and lean slightly forward into the cable tension to maintain balance.
Lateral Raise
Shoulders
Keep a soft bend in your elbows and lead with your knuckles to maximize shoulder engagement.
Reverse Grip Triceps Extension

Keep your elbows pinned to your ribs and feel the digital weight pull against your palms at the top.
Standing Decline Chest Press

Why this order
The workout begins with heavy compound movements like the Bench Press and Overhead Press to recruit the most muscle fiber while you are fresh. We then move into higher-rep isolation work and finishers to increase the total volume and heart rate, optimizing the session for fat loss. All movements utilize handles to minimize transition time between sets.

What weight should I start with for the Bench Press?
Since this is your lead compound move, Tonal will suggest a weight based on your initial assessment. Focus on the 'Spotter' feature if you feel the weight is too heavy toward the end of your set.
Can I do this workout without a bench?
The Bench Press requires a bench for proper form, but you can substitute it with the Standing Chest Press if a bench is unavailable, though the resistance profile will feel different.
How many times a week should I perform this push session?
For best results in a fat loss phase, aim to perform this routine twice per week, ensuring at least 48 hours of rest between sessions to allow your triceps and shoulders to recover.
How do I know if I am moving at the right tempo?
Tonal's display shows your rep speed; aim for a controlled 2-second lowering phase and a powerful 1-second push to keep the intensity high for fat burning.
