Well, traditional cardio anyway…
If you’re following a basic fat loss program, or losing weight is your goal in general then chances are there’s some type of cardio-training included in the program. Whether it’s intervals or steady-state cardio, after a while things become mundane, boring and you could just want to skip it all together.
Tim McComsey C.S.C.S., RD. provided and demonstrated a great workout to replace those boring cardio sessions. It’s a 5-move, 7-rep, “down-the-ladder” giant set that will boost your strength, endurance and torch fat.
