Performing supersets is a great way to work a lot more of your muscles in a lot less time. It is commonly performed when interval training. Supersets are a really efficient way to workout and if you read up on interval training, you’ll discover that it burns fat more effectively than typical cardio sessions. Actor Jason Statham used intervals to lose 17 pounds in 6 weeks. He states that he never achieved results like it before.

Alternating back and forth between two exercises until the prescribed number of sets is completed. (Read more on common fitness terminology.)
