Pyramid Workouts

With a pyramid structure, you’ll go through a sequence of exercises doing a given number of reps for each, and then the next time through will reduce the rep number. You’ll continue reducing the reps until you’re down to zero. Pyramid workouts are also commonly referred to as ladder workouts and countdown workouts. In addition to applying this structure to rep number, you can also do it with with time or the number of exercises. For example, each set of an interval workout, the time spent on an exercise gets shorter and shorter.

Best Pyramid Workouts

Not sure where to start? Below you’ll find the most popular pyramid workouts from the above gallery.

  • Upper Body Pyramid Workout – In this pyramid structure, you add on an exercise every round. So exercise 1, rest, exercises 1 + 2, rest … and so on up to 6. If you like the structure, I also have lower body, core and total body.
  • 20-Min Weighted Core Workout – Phew is this a tough one! We’ll use a time pyramid for this structure. You do each exercise for 60 seconds, then just 40, then 20.
  • Superset Pyramid Time Challenge – This is a rep pyramid. You’ll do 10 reps of each exercise, then 9 … down to 1 as quickly as you can. This one uses slider exercises.
