If you are an intermediate lifter trying to get into better physical shape for your life, this hybrid workout plan may be for you!
The Hybrid Workout Plan is a 6-week training program Inspired by The Human Fit Project.
The Agenda of This 6-week Hybrid Workout Plan
It’s simple: get in even better shape. It doesn’t need an oversell. It’s just a perfect mix for anyone wanting to build muscle, lose fat, and work on things that could help them with their leisure activities. The majority of it focuses on enhancing the physique. Still, there are other components, such as intervals for cardio and mobility and yoga for sport and longevity.
Objectives of the Hybrid Workout Plan
As mentioned above, there is more mobility work than you may have seen in other programs. You’ll see overhead squats, single-leg dumbbell deadlifts, wheel poses, and plow poses one day. Still, then the next could be a brutal arms-only bodybuilding workout. There were some cardio intervals mixed in to keep the lungs fresh. Still, you’ll never see extended amounts of long-duration, low-intensity cardio.
