PHASE 4: Cutting

The fourth phase takes your body to a whole new level. By now, you could do the #ULTRAFIT warmup in your sleep. This phase is the most challenging and will test those limits you thought you already had tested in the previous phase. In addition to upper body, lower body and core workouts, each two times a week, you’ll be doing four cardio sessions per week, including high intensity interval training*. HIIT workouts are known to get that heart rate up, leaving the burn for up to 72 hours later. Get ready to be shredded!

*Complete four cardio sessions per week (15 min of HIIT or 30 min steady state).

Tip: Allow at least one day of either full recovery or only steady state cardio
