Push your muscles to the limit!
This workout is a combination of all the essentials you’ll need for the perfect workout. The ladder routine will help strengthen and condition your muscles. Exercises are paired off, so while you work one, the opposing muscle rests. This is the HIIT aspect, where you work nonstop to get fat blasting results.
Pyramid workouts help to push your muscles to the limit and this HIIT workout combo will not disappoint.
