Full Body Hybrid Workout — Sisters in Shape

Tight on time? Try this Full Body Hybrid Workout. Getting both cardio and strength training in can be a challenge, and if shedding fat and building lean muscle is your goal- you need to get in both. Hybrid Density Training is an approach to working out which may be the best fat loss workout you're not doing. The workouts are organized in circuits. So for example, do circuit A by performing the three exercises in order, and then repeat that circuit for a total of three times. Once complete, move to circuit B etc.

What makes these workouts geared toward fat loss is the 20-second all out sprint, added as a third exercise. Combining moderately heavy resistance training (first & second exercise) with high intensity sprints, Hybrid Density Training can be an effective plan of attack to burn calories and shed excess fat.

This workout created by Sisters In Shape is a favourite approach to leaning out.
