The Push/Pull/Squat Superset Pyramid Fat Burner

I chose three total exercises, one from push and one from pull and one from squat. Then I decided squat needed more so I added another.  I chose a difficult pull, an easier push, and one of each for squat.  I did each exercise as a superset, started with a warmup type of rep count, started with the hardest, doubled the reps for the easier ones, and then rested for as brief a period of time as I could handle.  For the next round I added one rep to the hardest and doubled that for the easier ones, again with as little rest as possible. Rinse.  Repeat.

So, for chinup to Russian pushup to alternating leg backward lunge to regular squat, it was, respectively,

Chinup, Russian pushup, alternating leg backward lunge, squat:
3, 6, 3, 6 = 18 reps
4, 8, 4, 8 = 24 reps
5, 10, 5, 10 = 30 reps
6, 12, 6, 12 = 36 reps
7, 14, 7, 14 = 42 reps
8, 16, 8, 16 = 48 reps
9, 18, 9, 18 = 54 reps
10, 20, 10, 20 = 60 reps

For a total of 312 reps.

My new Fitbit tells me this was 20 minutes, 151 calories, and average heart rate of 111.  That is 70% fat burn (whatever than means).

Lunch was approximately 17 hours after my last calorie from last night, and was a large mixed green salad with sauerkraut, olives, and vinegar and oil, 4 scrambled eggs, and two small baked potatoes with butter.
