Fat Loss: Full Body Circuits (3 day)

Three days of full-body work in higher reps with short rests, so every session doubles as cardio. The weights still go up: add a rep, then a plate. Good for the first weeks of a cut.

How it progresses

Each exercise has a rep range. Stay at the same weight and add reps until every set reaches the top of the range, then add a little weight and work back up.

The workouts

Every exercise can be swapped in the app for one that works the same muscles, so missing equipment never stops you.
