RE: Pyramid Approach!
I'm not sure if Body for Life uses the pyramid approach since I'm not exactly sure what that is. Hoping Cathe will set set us straight or confirm what Debbie H. said.
Anyway, in Body for Life, you start out for example with 10# for 12 reps, then do 12# for 10 reps, 15# for 8 reps, 20# for 6 reps, and then do 15# for 12 reps and 12# for 12 reps with no resting between the last 2 sets. The other sets have a 1 minute rest in-between. I "thought" this was a pyramid but maybe there's more than 1 way to do pyramids.
