Ladders: simple not easy

One of my favorite workout protocols when I’m low on equipment or on a time crunch is a ladder.

A ladder is where you add an additional rep to an exercise each set - you climb the ladder with reps.

Since you’re starting with just one rep, then two, then three, the warm up is built in for you too.

Here’s one that I’ve done three times this summer:

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-8-10

Goblet squats

Push ups

Save that for the next time you’re in a hotel, trying to sneak in a workout at home, or need something to take on the road with you.
