Will there be 10-15 minutes? Then I have the perfect option for how to spend this time.

Test 240 is a multi-rep workout to develop strength and improve cardiovascular endurance. It trains every muscle in your body and allows you to check the level of functional fitness. The beauty is that you can spend as much time on the exercise as you need, the main thing is to go ahead and complete the intended number of repetitions.

The workout alternates exercises for the upper and lower body, which evenly distributes fatigue and gives a good load on the heart and lungs. But even when fatigue appears, it is important to avoid the temptation to finish the exercise somehow. It's not "30 reps at any cost". That's 30 clean, ruthless reps. If you need to stop and rest in the middle of the set, please. Then, when you take a breath, go back and finish the repetition.

You can train every other day, either before or after the main work, or you can do “240 repetitions” as an independent workout, especially if you want to test your strength or give a solid load to all muscle masses.
