Our Burn workouts are designed to increase your heart rate and get you working hard so that you can maximize the effects of your workout, both while you’re in the gym and for the recovery period afterward, when your body is consuming fuel in order to repair those muscles. This workout features one mega circuit of seven exercises, which you’ll perform three rounds through. Perform each exercise for 40 seconds and then rest for 20 seconds before moving on to the next exercise. Use that time to take a breather and set up your equipment for the next move – you’ll need dumbbells, sliders and a kettlebell for this one.
