16: Total Body Dumbbell Pyramid HIIT Workout | Strength + Cardio (15-30-45-30-15 Intervals!)

🔥 Total Body Dumbbell Pyramid HIIT Workout | Strength + Cardio | BodyFit By Amy

This total body pyramid workout builds up AND back down through 15-30-45-30-15 second intervals — alternating between a back-to-basics strength move and a compound HIIT move in every set. The result? Real strength gains AND serious cardio conditioning in one efficient session!

4 circuits, each pairing one strength-focused exercise with one high-intensity compound movement. The pyramid format moves fast — you'll barely notice the longer intervals because of how quickly everything flows!

✅ Total body: legs, glutes, back, shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps & core
✅ Pyramid format: 15 → 30 → 45 → 30 → 15 sec intervals
✅ Alternating strength + HIIT compound moves in every superset
✅ 15-second rest between every interval
✅ Metabolic conditioning built in — cardio from compound moves
✅ Core sneaked into every circuit
✅ Dumbbell only (kettlebell optional)
✅ Bonus swing finisher to close it out!

➡️ WHY PYRAMID INTERVALS?
Traditional pyramids build up to the longest interval, then back down — so:
📈 Short intervals feel manageable and teach the exercise
🏔️ The 45-sec peak challenges your endurance at maximum intensity
📉 Short finisher intervals let you push hard knowing the end is near

The result? A workout that feels fast, builds smart, and burns hard — all the way through!
