Pyramid training to challenge you mentally and definitely physically! The entire lower body will be forced to work hard as we work through a wide variety of lunges and squats with dumbbells and our bodyweight being used as resistance!

Pyramid training is more often completed using increase of weight per set with reduced number of reps, or reverse; heavier weight at beginning and increased duration then back down the opposite way! The pyramid training format I use allows for only one weight per exercise but duration is changing!

For this leg day workout, you will need dumbbells and a chair for some Bulgarian lunges!

The dumbbells I am using are 1 x 15kg and 1 x 25kg. If you have a heavier dumbbell or kettlebell keep it nearby incase you want it!

The timer will be on as follows!! Climb the mountain and once you reach the top (1 minute) it’s downhill from there!
