Training Tip: Pyramid Sets



Choose 1 cardio exercise and 1 strength exercise. Here, we are demonstrating a squat jump and an overhead press. In a pyramid set, you'll be starting with 1 rep and ideally working up to 10 reps. Then bring 10 reps down to 1 rep.

Example shown in the video:
1 overhead press
2 overhead presses
3 overhead presses
4 overhead presses
5 overhead presses

then

5 overhead presses
4 overhead presses
3 overhead presse
2 overhead presses
1 overhead press

Feel the burn!
