Are you strong enough to climb the pyramid?
Pyramid workouts are one of my favorite ways to tone and tighten. The progressively increasing reps is a great way to fatigue a muscle; the progressively decreasing reps is a great way to really max it out and ensure maximum benefit from your workout. Today’s pyramid is all about the booty – shape amazing glutes with this awesome at-home workout – no equipment required!
For this workout all you’ll need are the following 4 exercises. You’ll perform all four in sets of the following number of reps…
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5
115 fun-loving reps of each of these butt-blasting exercises!
1. Squats
Emphasis on smashing the glutes at the top of the squat
2. Deadlift
Keep your back straight and hinge forward at the hips (don’t roll your back). Bonus if you have some dumbbells lying around for some resistance!
3. Side Lunges
Alternating side-to-side. The number of reps for the set is EACH LEG! You’re welcome! 🙂
4. Single Leg Bridges
Some glute-smashing pulses just to tap things out! Reps is number per EACH LEG on this one as well!)
You totally got this one! Your butt will thank you for it, I promise!

How do you break between sets of a single exercise in this workout.
Are we doing this as a circuit of 4 exercises into number of rounds.or do we finish all sets of one nd then move to the next.
Hi Karen!
5 reps of all 4 exercises in the first set. Second set is 10 reps of all four exercises. Third is 15 reps, etc. Breaks are as needed, but I might recommend try to get through all reps of all 4 exercises and then take a break before starting your next round of all 4 exercises. Hope that helps! Thanks Karen!
