If you want to be lean, fit, strong, athletic, and ripped, then you need a combo of cardio, strength, and isometrics in your life.
But what if you packed all those components into a single short workout?
The Total-Body Trifecta does just that. It consists of four trios. Each trio has a 30-second cardio movement, a 45-second strength movement, and a 30-second isometric hold. Check it out in the video above.
By the end of the workout, you’ll have challenged your muscles and lunges, broken a sweat, torched calories, and made your muscles quake.
Not bad for 7 minutes of work. Now imagine what you could do if you repeated those trios for a 14, 21, or 28-minute workout …
