By: Justin Juliano - NASM Certified Personal Trainer Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) training is a method of exercise that combines cardiovascular work with resistance training. PHA aims to work multiple muscle groups in the body by alternating between upper and lower body exercises. The idea behind PHA training is that by working the upper and lower body in sequence, your heart rate remains elevated throughout the workout, while simultaneously gaining the benefits of resistance training. PHA training usually involves a circuit-style workout that alternates between upper body exercises (such as push-ups or pull-ups) and lower body exercises (such as squats or lunges). The idea is that by working the upper body, the heart rate is elevated, and then by working the lower body the heart rate remains elevated while still allowing the upper body to recover. This method of training forces the blood to quickly circulate through the body, increasing caloric expenditure and is theorized to decrease body fat and increase lean muscle mass. PHA training is usually considered to be a high-intensity form of training and is performed using a combination of bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, and dumbbells. It can be done as a stand alone workout or as part of a larger workout program. As with any exercise program, it's important to consult a doctor or a personal trainer before starting PHA training, especially if you have any blood pressure deviations (high/low blood pressure). Also, you should adjust the intensity and duration of the exercises according to your fitness level and goals.
