8 inspired moves
This week we are getting a look behind the scenes of New York City's toughest workout, Tone House. Start by checking out our sit down with the founder of TH, Alonzo Wilson, found here and then get a small sampling of what this workout is like by following the routine outlined below.
As always, begin with a 10 minute warm-up, consisting of some cardio, dynamic stretching and any specific injury prevention or mobility that you need.
Find an open spot in a gym or on a field and do 3-4 rounds of the following circuit, with no rest in between movements and 2 mins. rest between each round. For a real challenge, cut the rest between round in half or increase the reps per movement.
