Take fat loss to new heights with our Versaclimb­er cardio challenge. Godspeed, gents

01 \ FLYING START

Work one side of your body at a time, pulling with your arm and pushing with your leg in short, sharp reps. You’ll be working in intervals, starting with a sprint section (pick your splits from the timetable below). Keep your head steady – if the countdown clock is a blur, adjust your form.

02 \ RHYTHM & REST

By the time your first rest period clocks in, your leg muscles will be full of lactic acid and crying out for respite. Resist the urge to bail and keep moving, making each stride longer. Slowing your stroke rate will help you get a handle on your hammering heart, just in time for the next sprint.

03 \ KEEP IT UP

Begin furiously pumping your arms and legs again for round two. Don’t allow your tired core to fold as you fatigue. Brace your abs and keep your backside tucked to ensure your spine remains neutral, avoiding injury. The only searing pain should be in your leg muscles.
