Pyramid Lower Body
The first half of this workout utilizes the full pyramid system in which you will do rep cycles in the following manner:
1st you’ll do 12 reps with your lightest weight, then you’ll do 10 reps with moderate weight, and finally you’ll do 8 reps with your heaviest weight. You will then revere the cycle and work your way back down the pyramid….again with 10 reps at moderate weight and 12 reps with your lightest weight.
The exercises themselves are performed in a controlled manner and there is little or no break between the cycles keeping the workout moving at a quicker pace and completely exhausting the lower body muscles.
Once you have completed the pyramid weight work, you will go into the second half of the workout which will feature the use of the stability ball. The targeted muscles will be the inner and outer thigh, hamstrings and gluteal area. Stability balls are excellent tools to promote core strength, better posture and alignment, and overall body awareness and strength. But just in case you don’t have one, we will be featuring modifications for the workout to accommodate this.
