Upper body compound supersets framed by two cardio circuits, with weights, for a demanding strength-plus-cardio session.

Day 4 of the Level Up with Tasha 5 Day Challenge also works as a standalone workout. Pairs of exercises targeting similar muscles are done back to back with minimal rest to add time under tension, with cardio circuits at the start and end. Expect to use lighter weights than usual. The video runs about 49 minutes.
