Pyramid Workout
This week we are trying a pyramid workout. This type of workout is great because you don’t need any equipment and it can be based on just using you own body weight. If you want more of a challenge, you can add dumbbells to most of these exercises. Remember not only can dumbbells make these exercises tougher but also the intensity in which you work out in. Anytime you are unsure of what the exercise looks like please look it up online and find the proper form for that exercise.
Complete these exercises 3 times through (Do more if you need a little tougher workout)
5 Burpees
10 Push ups
15 Squats
20 Lunges (10 each leg)
25 Jumping Jacks
30 Mountain climbers
35 Abdominal curls
40 second Plank
As always start with a dynamic warm up and finish with at least 5 minutes of stretching!
Total time for this circuit completed 3 times = around 30-35 minutes
