  • perform 50 reps of the next exercise.

You can use heavier weights if you feel confident.

Target and Tactics

Make it intense, do not go under 85% of your maximum heart rate and speed. A good indicator that you are working out hard is if you sprint all the runs and after them you jump right into the next workout.
