This is a variation of the Push-up pyramid drill. I picked up this drill while in the Army.
This is a great way to work on your upper body and abs.
The drill consists of pushups and sit ups. Your working both while elevating your heart rate.
Start by picking a target number in this case I pick 4.
Do 1 push-up (PU) roll over and do one sit-up (SU), then 2 PU & 2 SU, then 3 PU roll over 3 SU , 4PU roll over 4SU down go back down 3 PU & 3 SU, 2 PU,SU 1 Push-up & 1 Situps.
Be carful not to pick a large number as the reps add up quickly.
Hope this works well for you my students like this as it mask the number of reps we are actually doing.
Not many students like the Idea of doing 50+ push-up but by challenging them to the pyramid it hides the numbers with fun.
