Workout Wednesday — what is up!?

I may have gone a little overboard with my enthusiasm for a pyramid workout. I wanted to switch things up by incorporating multiple toys into today’s routine. I’m not saying single equipment workouts (i.e. Booty Burner Tabata Workout) are not sweat-inducing, metabolism-enhancing, or effective on their own; but, I had feeling I could create a sizzlin’ workout with this weight triplet. I didn’t expect it to be the high-intensity cardio workout that it… but 60 burpees and plyometric squats will do that for you.

I completed 3 rounds of the September Sizzler indoors a la AC, but if it’s not triple digit weather in your neck of the woods, I encourage you to take it outside to a park (Slurp Up September tip #7).
