If this triple dose of pyramid power doesn't leave you sweaty and feeling good about yourself, I don't know what will! This is my triple A pyramid workout that targets your arms, abs and ass. It is a hybrid of circuit and pyramid training. You will get the benefits of both styles, which will leave you feeling pretty darn good.
High intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts are excellent for so many reasons. Many of the popular workout videos and classes utilize this technique. Why? Because it works!
Here are a few examples of the benefits of HIIT:
- Efficiency (not wasting 90 mins in the gym)
- Burns more fat
- Healthier heart (anaerobic zone)
- Lose weight/fat, not muscle
- Increases your metabolism
- Challenging (less rest time for chatting/recovery)
- Working harder the whole time
- Conditions both your anaerobic and aerobic energy systems
*Important note to remember: key element that makes HIIT different from other interval training is the maximum effort given, not simply a higher heart rate.
WHAT YOU'RE DOING:
Warm up. Work through each pyramid giving your maximum effort for each exercise listed. Once you have completed the first pyramid (arms), rest for 3 minutes. Continue to the next pyramid (abs) giving maximum effort for each exercise listed. Rest for 3 minutes. Work through the last pyramid (ass) with maximum effort. Rest for 3 minutes. Repeat pyramids once more. Cool down. Best of luck!
peace & love
