Summer is officially here and with it is the arrival of longer and hotter days. Some brave souls choose to embrace the heat while most others choose to do their summer workout in the comfort of an air-conditioned gym. This shift in workout conditions combined with our busy schedules can make finding time and motivation a challenge. But, we can’t stop getting our total body workout in.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through a fun total body workout that you can perform indoors with your TRUE cardio equipment.
Workout Structure
In this workout, you’ll have two sections of strength movements in intervals of 40 seconds of work, and 20 seconds of rest. Perform each exercise before moving on to the next. In between each of the strength training sections, there is a cardio set. You will be performing a high-intensity cardio session with varying speed, resistance, and incline levels on your TRUE cardio equipment. This can be done on a bike, elliptical, or treadmill.
Be sure to have a mat and two pairs of dumbbells with one lighter set and the other a moderate weight. Demonstrate the movement beforehand to decide which weight suits you best for that exercise. Repeat each section three to four times or as many as suit your fitness level.
