This is a great resistance-cardio technique for targeting both muscle mass and cardio training in order to burn fat and build muscle at the same time.

You're going to need a dumbbell rack with a lot of dumbbells.

You'll pick up the heaviest set then walk them over across the room and set them down. 

How far you go will depend on how far you CAN go. In my basement gym, I don't have a whole lot of room so I was about 15 feet, but you can go up to about 20 yards, if you've got the space (and a relatively uncrowded gym).

I went from 125 lb dumbbells down to 40 lb dumbbells. Then I took a brief rest (a few seconds to adjust the camera) and went back UP the rack, putting all the dumbbells back.

The down phase isn't too bad, but the UP phase is brutal.

This is fantastic "metabolic resistance training'...best done in a non-crowded gym.
