40 Minute Total Body Workout

It's almost Friday, friends! :-)  Here's a 40 minute pyramid workout for you.  Here's how it works:

Set a timer for 40 minutes...that's right....40 minutes!  You can do it!  For this one, grab your heavy and light weights.  We'll use both.  I use a barbell for some exercises, but you can use dumbbells where I use a barbell.  Do as many rounds of the following as you can do in 40 minutes:

1 minute high knees
5 curls (using your heavy dumbbells)
10 lunges jumps
15 squats (Use your light dumbbells or challenge yourself with 15 reps of the heavy)
20 knee-ins
15 deadlifts
10 upright row to press
5 plyo pushups
