Up & Down The Ladder

This is one of my favorite ways to get a lot of work done in a short amount of time – which can be a huge game changer in a pinch. For this workout you can either go up the proverbial ladder, down the ladder or if you are a true savage, up and down the ladder. 

Here’s how it goes:

  • 2-20 by 2’s or
  • 20-2 by 2’s or
  • 1-10 & 10-1

Goblet Squats (you can also do a single arm racked squat and alternate/split the reps up per side)

Push Ups

Row Variation

Cardio for 10 calories or 50 m sprint

*Note: The ladder is only performed for the first 3 exercises. The cardio portion is done on “each step” of the ladder for a total of 100 calories or 500 m worth of sprints.*
