September 18, 2013

Be sure to follow on Pinterest and Facebook for more workouts and fitness ideas!
 
 
 

Ever heard of the pyramid workout before? They are great way to get in lots of sets, many reps, and keep a solid goal in mind while exercising. The idea is you start with a certain number of reps per exercise, increase that number up to a point with subsequent sets, and then ramp back down to your starting value. Confused? I don’t blame you. Ready for a killer, total body workout that will eliminate confusion and never, ever, ever let you forget the pyramid thing? Keep reading…
