The long and short of it…

This workout is designed to tax your body with heavy weight and then use whatever energy remaining, with a body weight movement.   In this case we used running on the treadmill.  Short bursts of intense exercise have been proven to increase your muscular strength and endurance much further than longer duration workouts.  The above picture shows the difference of how your body will adapt to the two different workout styles.
