Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) training is a powerful method that combines cardio and strength exercises to improve both your heart and muscles. Unlike traditional circuit training, PHA focuses on alternating between upper and lower body exercises, keeping your heart rate elevated throughout the workout. This method increases blood circulation, burns more calories, and builds muscle all at once.

How Does It Work?
In a PHA workout, you’ll switch between movements like squats and chest presses with little to no rest in between. The continuous alternation challenges your cardiovascular system while giving your muscles just enough time to recover.

Benefits of PHA Training

  • Enhances cardiovascular endurance
  • Increases muscle strength and tone
  • Boosts calorie burn and fat loss
  • Improves overall functional fitness

Most healthy individuals can benefit from PHA training, whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, or just better heart health. However, those with certain health conditions, like high or low blood pressure, should consult a professional before starting.
