Today, I had some pretty greasy fries with my lunch. Someone actually walked by and asked if I went to McDonalds because you could smell the oil in the air. While they tasted good at the time, I swear, I had grease coming out my pores by the end of the day. Ew, right?
So after work, all I wanted to do was sweat. I headed out for a run… but it turned out to be a 2 mile walk. But when I got back, I dusted off my weights and did one of my favorite moves that my trainer taught me last year.
I call it The Power Pyramid!
Step 1: Stand up tall with your weights on either side of you on the floor 
Step 2: Jump down and do a push up 
Step 3: Grab your weights and stand up and do a bicep curl 
Step 4: Bring the weights up and do a shoulder press 
Step 5: Continue the shoulder press all the way up 
Step 6: Go back down and repeat
So they call it a Pyramid because each time you do steps 1 thru 6, you’re doing a different number of reps:
- 1 pushup, 1 bicep curl, 1 shoulder press
- 2 pushups, 2 bicep curls, 2 shoulder presses
- 3 pushups, 3 bicep curls, 3 shoulder presses
- 4 pushups, 4 bicep curls, 4 shoulder presses
- 5 pushups, 5 bicep curls, 5 shoulder presses
- 6 pushups, 6 bicep curls, 6 shoulder presses
- 7 pushups, 7 bicep curls, 7 shoulder presses <—–The Top of the Pyramid!
- 6 pushups, 6 bicep curls, 6 shoulder presses
- 5 pushups, 5 bicep curls, 5 shoulder presses
- 4 pushups, 4 bicep curls, 4 shoulder presses
- 3 pushups, 3 bicep curls, 3 shoulder presses
- 2 pushups, 2 bicep curls, 2 shoulder presses
- 1 pushup, 1 bicep curl, 1 shoulder press
I really should start doing this every day to tone up a little bit. Plus, it’s fun to make karate moves using your camera’s self timer. Yes?
