For people who have trained regularly for a while. You'll need the equipment listed above.

Not the right fit?

New to training: Cardio & Strength Mix, beginner, 3 days a week.
Training at home: No Gear Cardio Starter, beginner, 3 days a week, no equipment.

Each week is 34 working sets across 8 exercises, about 2 h 20 min in total.

Sets run from 24 reps, with 0:45 to 1:00 of rest between them.

Endurance builds by doing a little more work at the same effort.

Change one thing. Add a few seconds to a timed interval, a round to a circuit, or a few reps to a set. Keep everything else as it was until the change feels routine.
Volume before speed. Add volume before you add speed: a session you finish does more than a faster one you abandon halfway.
Beat last week. At this level the numbers move week to week rather than every session. Aim to beat last week on each exercise, even by a single rep.

If an exercise stalls: Stuck for two or three weeks running? Take a little weight off and build back up.

When it gets easy: Advanced Interval Cardio, the same goal at advanced level, 5 days a week.
