BURN 1000 CALORIES


IN YOUR LUNCH HOUR


IF THE WEIGHT-LOSS GLORY OF THE NEW YEAR IS ALREADY FADING, YOUR


METABOLISM NEEDS A FRESH REVVING. THIS FUSION OF FAT-SHREDDING


SPRINTS AND FULL-BODY CIRCUITS WILL TORCH MORE ENERGY IN AN HOUR


THAN ANY INTERVAL SESSION. HOLD ON – THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET INTENSE


POWER UP
PT Luke Barnsley’s Sweat X classes
are renowned for their intensity. First
up, it’s two rounds on the treadmill.
Start on a 4 per cent incline and work
yo u r way u p. T h e n i t ’s o n t o t h e f l o o r fo r
two circuits of non-stop strength-
building moves. Keep your towel close.

01
KETTLEBELL SWING
(60 SECONDS)
Pick a heavy weight to shift this
full-body move from cardio to
muscle-building. Holding the
kettlebell between your legs
w i th a n ove r h a n d g r i p (A), d r i ve
your hips forward to pull the
weight up to shoulder height
with arms out in front of you (B).
Your knees can bend, but the
power should come from your
h i p s to f i re yo u r g l u te s. G o fo r 6 0
s e c o n d s. O n to th e n ex t m ove.

02
EXPLOSIVE PUSH-UP
(60 SECONDS)
Drop down onto the floor from
the kettlebell swing and assume
a push-up position, keeping
your core and glutes tight so
that your body forms a straight
l i n e (A). T h i s t a ke o n a s t a n d a r d
push-up will tire your upper
body and send your heart rate
through the roof. Lower slowly,
then press yourself up with
enough momentum for your
hands to leave the ground (B).
