The Thang: Originally, I called this workout 'pyramids' but we ended up going up "mountains" and down yoga "valleys" instead, so there ya go. 

We started going up our first mountain by doing 10 reps of an exercise, then 20, 30, 40, and 50. We took a 30 second water break and then went back down the mountain with 50 reps, 40, 30, 20, 10. The exercises we did were:

• 10 push-ups
• 20 squats
• 30 mountain climbers
• 40 high knees
• 50 jumping jacks 

After the water break: 

• 50 jumping jacks
• 40 high knees
• 30 mountain climbers
• 20 squats
• 10 push-ups

In between our mountains, we went down yoga valleys with various poses, holding them from 45 seconds, 40 seconds, 35, 30, and 25 seconds and then back up. The yoga exercises were:

• pigeon pose (left side)
• thread-the-needle (left side)
• belly turning (left side)
• hug knees in chest
• child's pose

We kept alternating between these 'mountains' and 'valleys'. We repeated our mountains 3 times and valleys twice. Our total amount of reps for all 3 sets were: 

• 60 push-ups
• 120 squats
• 180 mountain climbers
• 240 high knees
• 300 jumping jacks

That's a total of 900 reps of exercises!!! That doesn't include the yoga we did as well! Great job ladies!
