Cardio workouts are one of the most popular forms of fitness training. They are versatile, effective and offer a wide range of exercises that strengthen the cardiovascular system, improve endurance and burn calories.
Peripheral Heart Action Training (PHA) is currently very popular among cardio lovers. And for good reasons.

What is the PHA workout all about?
Peripheral Heart Action Training is a circuit training that alternates between upper and lower body exercises. This keeps the heart rate up, promotes blood flow throughout the body, and trains muscles and the cardiovascular system at the same time.
The workout combines strength and endurance in an intense workout that can be adapted to individual fitness levels.

These are the benefits of the PHA workout
1. Increased fat burning
PHA training promotes fat burning by keeping the pulse constantly high and thus increasing calorie consumption. The constant alternation between the upper and lower body places intensive strain on the cardiovascular system, which requires more energy. In addition, muscle building stimulates the metabolism, so that the body continues to burn fat even after training.
2. Full body workout
By combining upper and lower body training, several muscle groups are trained simultaneously, which increases efficiency enormously. This holistic approach ensures balanced body development and increases the efficiency of the workout.
Instead of training individual muscles in isolation, the alternating movements challenge both large muscle groups and supporting stabilizers.

3. Improve endurance
The constantly high pulse puts a constant strain on the cardiovascular system. This sustained strain strengthens the heart, improves the oxygen supply to the muscles and increases general endurance.
Over time, this leads to better cardiovascular fitness, which is noticeable in increased performance in everyday life as well as in sporting activities.
4. Flexibility
PHA workouts are versatile and can be easily adapted to any fitness level. Beginners can start with simpler exercises and lighter weights to get used to the routine. Advanced users can increase the intensity by using heavier weights, more complex exercises or taking shorter rest periods.
This flexibility allows for continuous progress and keeps training motivating and challenging, regardless of current fitness level.
