Sweat is Fat Crying? Ew, but true.

I was on theberry.com yesterday and they had a gallery of motivational posters, and one of them had a little workout consisting of two pyramid-style intervals. I just did them and my thighs want to physically remove themselves from my body to go soak in an ice bath, and since I mean that in a good way, I figured I would share the workout with you.

20 High Knees *
40 Butt Kicks

Legs Pyramid


20 Squats
30 Lunges (15 each leg)

100 Jumping Jacks

It sounds easy but the first round of doing the wall sit, my quads were so tight from the cardio pyramid and squats and lunges that they almost seized up. I had to take a second and start over. I was extremely pleased with this work out. Short, sweet, to the point, and not utterly exhausting to where you couldn't add in your own ab pyramid. But it still did the job. This was the aftermath:
