Become more powerful, build lean metabolism boosting muscle and expand you lungs and get killer cardio!

I started the week of with workout from Chad Howse’s Powerhouse Metabolism at the gym. I actually used his follow along version (on my computer) of the workout, cause I like to have someone there telling me what to do, so I can really focus on each exercise

Powerhouse Metabolism Workout #1

The workout is broken into 3 phases plus I added 10 minute Burpee Finisher set at the end to complete the training session followed by a full body stretch
It too about 45 minutes in total

You’re going to become more powerful with the Knockout Power Supersets. You’re going to build lean, metabolism-boosting muscle with the 3T Strength Sets, and then spike your metabolism, helping you burn fat and expand your lungs with Go The Distance Calisthenics.

After my 5 minute skipping and dynamic warm up I was ready for action.

GTD Calisthenics

For the calisthenics portion of the workout, I used my GymBoss Timer to track time for each exercise. They were 3 rounds containing 4 exercises each round that I did for 30 seconds each with no rest.

After you’ve finished the fourth exercise in a group, rest for 60 seconds and then continue on to the next round.

The rounds are broken up into upper body, lower body and abs /core.
