    Hi Bryan, love the look of this workout! Just wondering how many times/week you recommend doing this? Would it work to do Tue/Thur/Sat with cardio and HIIT Mon/Wed/Fri?

      Hey Claire,

      Mmmhmmm — if your body isn’t completely shot and you’re able to swing it, that’s completely fine. At the very least, make sure you take 1 day in between each workout circuit.

    Is this considered HIIT and how long does it take?

    • https://www.leanit-up.com/ Bryan DiSanto

      Supersets are a form of HIIT, but not really in the traditional cardio sense. It packs the same exact benefits; plus muscle stimulation, breakdown, and ultimately growth.

      About 1 hour.

    How often should we do this workout? How many days per week?

    • https://www.leanit-up.com/ Bryan DiSanto

      3-4x per week. Make sure you take at least least 1 day off in between each FISS workout. When you’re first starting out you’ll likely be WAY too sore, and will probably need 2 days off in between.

    Is the printable table loading up for people? I could see it last night but no longer…

    Looking to build muscle, while not bulking too much. Would doing this workout 3-4x a week, with rest days or cardio/ab workouts in between be friendlier to this goal than maybe doing the WOTM from 4/13? I am looking to cut a lot of belly fat and build upper body muscle, but still maintain some flexibility. Any advice is appreciated.

      Sorry for missing this! I’d do the 4/13 WOTM. It’s more well-rounded and more intensive (it’ll smash individual muscle groups more thoroughly), especially considering the goals you’re looking at.

      This is more of a one-off fat blaster for people with limited time.

      You can also follow the 4/13 WOTM for a month, switch over to this for 1-2 weeks, and then go back to the 4/13 WOTM as a way of staying fresh.

    I am going to start this workout today and I am curious how you would supplement on off days? I had a bad shoulder injury from baseball about 12 years ago and was out of the gym for about 12 years and got back going about 2 months ago with the beginner workout and now I feel like I am ready to pump up the intensity. If you have any suggestions they would be appreciated.

      1. Be VERY careful with your shoulder. Overly cautious. That’s an injury you don’t want to reaggravate. Take it slow on any shoulder or chest movements and up the weight slowly over time.

      2. This is designed as a full body plan, but there’s definitely a TON of room to supplement with muscle group-specific workouts.

      Explore our workout plans section — a full day on legs (potentially combined with arms) and an abs + HIIT cardio day would make this a really well-rounded schedule
