Pyramid Workout

Who's ready to burn some calories?! I think we all should be after a nice, and probably indulgent, holiday weekend.

Here's a quick but tough workout to try out:


1 push-up
1 push-up, 2 body weight squats
1 push-up, 2 body weight squats, 3 chair dips
1 push-up, 2 body weight squats, 3 chair dips, 4 min incline walk
1 push-up, 2 body weight squats, 3 chair dips, 4 min incline walk, 5 min jog
1 push-up, 2 body weight squats, 3 chair dips, 4 min incline walk, 5 min jog

Totals: 26 minutes of cardio
10 push-ups
16 squats
18 chair dips

To modify if you aren't near a treadmill for the walk and jog here are some replacements:
stair stepping or climbing, jumping rope, jumping jacks, plank jacks, high knee jumps, long jumps

You can repeat it multiple times to increase the difficulty, or add weights to the squats, increase the incline, or increase the jog to a run.

Let me know if you try it!
