Crazy Pyramid Sweat Session
Print Workout Here
Whammy! This seriously kicked my butt hard, and I don’t just think that’s because I’m 27 weeks pregnant. I think it’s just that hard! Today you can work at your own speed or alongside me – just make sure YOU are pushing hard for YOU! Including your warm-up today I only need 23 minutes of your time. Let’s do this!
What you will need:
- Set of dumbbells
Warm-Up:
- 1 minute each of jogging on the spot, heel to bum, and knees up with football run transitions
Workout: Complete each of the 3 exercises below for 10, 20, 30, 20, & then 10 reps each
- Burpee – You ladies know the drill for this!
Modification: You can always walk this out instead of jump it OR you could grab your weights and do some squats if getting up and down is too much for you. - Squat with shoulder press – With the weights resting on your shoulders, sink nice and low into the squat and then as you come up exhale and push those weights above your head. Watch your knees and back on this! Keep your knees pointing forward and your back nice and flat.
Modification for shoulders: If this bothers your shoulders to press them above your head…don’t do it! Just let the weights rest on top of your shoulders the whole time. - Alternating curtsey lunges with bicep curls – Just like a regular lunge but jetting your back leg off to the side behind you, keep your chest and hips pointing forward and then get nice and deep into those lunges. At the same time you’re going to do some bicep curls so keep the elbows tight towards your side and curl those babies in!
Cool Down/Stretching
- Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.
Get sweaxy!

Not pregnant…. super sweaty! I don’t know how you did it. Very impressive :)
Haha some days I don’t know how I did it either! Thanks for commenting.
But you did it aaaaand came to boot camp this morning. I’d say you’re on fire right meow.
How in the world did you do that at 27 weeks pregnant??? I had to take modifications and my last pregnancy was 27 years ago!!!
Haha Sandra you’re funny!! I love the comparison. I hope I’m still kicking ass like you when Rowynne is 27.
Done! Mic drop!
Mic drop!! LOVE THAT!!!! Nice work lady.
Holy crap! Seriously..27 weeks?? That’s what kept me going through the 30 set! lol
I will definitely be using this as a bargaining tool to get you ladies to push hard until the end of this year ;p
Done. I’ve been on a hiatus due to illness (both me and hubby) and the craziness of transitioning to a new job. I have come to the realization that I can’t keep up with you 100% and I need to make some modifications to the workouts. I’m crazy sweaty though and my heart rate was up around 123 so definitely still getting a good workout. Thanks!
Kim I’m so happy you’re feeling better and so is hubby (because we all know they’re not so good when it comes to getting sick lol). Don’t even worry if you’re keeping up with me or not. Most importantly you’re doing it, you’re sweaty, getting stronger and yeah…that’s a pretty high heart rate so you’re doing great my friend!!! Welcome back!
Holy moly. I was dying coming down. Felt like I was going to pass out!!!paused work out several times to catch my breath. That’s payback for eating so much Halloween candy this week!!!
Wow I got you with that one eh Jillian?! Funny how eating can really have an influence on that. Motivating!! No more treats!! Hehe.
That one kicked my butt!! I had to take some breaks and slow those burpees right down but got through the whole thing. Good sweat for sure!
That’s simply amazing!!!
I’ve been avoiding this one based on the sheer number of burpees! It wasn’t so bad – super tough and I’m dripping but I did it better than I thought I would. During child’s pose my breath was so hot it was like a sauna – so gross!
PS I’m not surprised there are only a few comments – burpees are scary – so is a 27 wk pregnant lady who is friggin’ stellar and fit!
Yay, I’m so happy you finally did this!! Knew you would of course, and you kicked butt while doing it!! You must have pushed hard if your breath is that hot lol.
Crazy hard!
Glad to hear it!!
Holy sweaty, Ash!! Thanks so much
My pleasure!!
Done that was tough for me today. Not sure if it’s the challenge and my energy level is down or tired. I pushed through it with 10lbs. Thanks Ash I’m a sweaty mess.
Something to take note of! Hope your energy is back up!!
Done last night – so needed!!
??????
That set of 30 was TERRIBLE!!
I️ think that means it worked right!! Haha.
That was rough after a few weeks with no exercise. Will be happy I did it later?
I think yesterday your body would have been thanking you!!
Quite the Sunday sweat. Thank you!
I’d say! You’re most welcome!
I’ll sleep so well now! (Following a shower). Thanks, Ash!
Haha good idea for the shower! Nice work Amber!!
Burpees kill me every time! Awesome workout!
They are evil!! You’re welcome ?
The burpees were tough…lol good one though!
Tough is a nice work for burpees. I’ve heard worse lol
This one was pretty tough. I saw my comments from last year and even though it was hard I didn’t stop to pause like I did last year. I say that’s progress!!
I’d say that’s awesome progress!! Nice work lady!! So happy you’ve stuck around for a year now with us!!
Heart is pounding!
Holy shit.
I know! It’s a goody.
Holy this was awesome… but so hard. Felt super strong though and didn’t stop once even though I was tempted. Thanks, Ash
Nice work woman!! Love that. You must be getting so much stronger!
Awesome! Thanks!
My pleasure!!!
Holy. Heart is pounding! I know you get this all the time Ash, but you’re so badass! Thanks for the sweat session… PHEW ?
Haha well thank you! It never gets old. Best feeling ever. Thanks for being a part of our badass tribe and kicking some serious butt ??
Holy Hannah! I love these workouts where you so sneakily help us work our whole bodies with just three moves!
Isn’t it crazy!?! I love being sneaky like that.
Holy crap! I’m Sweating!!!
Right?! What a way to start your Friday ??
So sweaty. Great workout – counting reps is so much more of a mind game than timing I find to keep going but it so helps that you’re right there doing it too. Thank you!
I agree!! You’re most welcome.
Ass officially kicked! Pfeew
Boom!! That’s what I like to hear!
Wow, I remember doing this one the first time and thinking how the hell is she killing it at 27 weeks pregnant??!! You are a machine Ashley!! Lol! Thanks for the great Saturday afternoon workout!
You’re most welcome!! I look back and think the same sometimes lol.
Holy Hell!
That’s what I like to hear!!
I found my comment from last year when you posted this workout. Love looking back on my progress. I still have job craziness but my fitness has certainly improved. My heartrate was up around 150 during today’s workout. No modifications other than working at my own pace but I got the entire workout in. I’m feeling amazing and always forget how crappy and lazy I feel if I’m not doing the weekly workouts. Thanks so much for everything you do!
It’s my pleasure Kim!! I love that you ladies can look back and see how far you’ve come. Best feeling. Thanks for being so committed to your workouts ??????
90 burpees sucks when you are doing them but sure makes you feel stellar afterwards!
I bet you felt like you could take on the world!!
Sweating like it’s my job!!!
You’re on fire this morning!!
Great sweaty workout to start the weekend. Thank you Ash.
Way to go Ash! I hope it was a great start to an AMAZING weekend!
Did this one at my own pace, probably took twice as long, but I got ‘er done!
You got ‘er done and that’s a HUGE WIN!! Way to go Julie!
