[WOTM, 01/2016] Upgrade Your Body & Attack 2016 With The 4-Day Muscle Massacre Workout Program
Workout D — HIIT + Distance Cardio
1. HIIT Cardio — Stairmaster Blaster
Protocol: Stairmaster — 18 minutes
The Stairmaster Blaster HIIT Workout runs 9 minutes and requires a stair mill (this thing). You’re doing TWO ROUNDS back to back.
The stair mill allows you to take lunge steps and shift foot positioning, which actively hits different parts of the lower body. It’ll completely eviscerate your quads, hammies, and butt — especially after squatting and lunging yourself to death a few days earlier.
If you’re unfamiliar or confused, refer back to the full workout plan. It has all the details you could ever want. And if you don’t have access to a stair mill, substitute it with any of these HIIT workouts.
2. Distance Cardio
Protocol: Any Form — 25 minutes
It’s your call. Pick your poison and roll it out for 25 minutes. Machine cardio (e.g. treadmill, elliptical), a run outside, rowing, swimming, cycling, or any other variety of cardio all count.
And if you’d like to substitute a full cardio-based class—think boxing or spin—that’s more than welcome, too. Just make sure it gets your heart thumping.
