The workout

This workout is part of a suggested routine. To benefit the most from it I advise you follow it. Click here for routine 02 .

This workout focuses on the lower body and is built of supersets. Every two exercises are partnered together. This creates more metabolic demand and allows more time under tension for one body part.

Complete the exercises in each superset. For the suggested given time for as many reps as possible (AMRAP), but don’t neglect your form. It is better to do less in perfect form than more out of form. Rest for the remaining time of the minute. Each superset is to be completed 3 times.
