Pyramid Circuits

Walking the Beast twice this morning is how I started my day and then, since I had a client do this workout earlier, I thought it would be a great one to do myself. I did circuits of modified pullups/body rows (sometimes referred to as rack rows), pushups, crunches, lunges (number of reps is per leg) and back extensions. The reps on the 11 total circuits were 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Give this one a try yourself and let me know how it goes......change the exercises as necessary to suit your abilities and available equipment.
