CYCLE OF 5ths
This exercise is very basic, it takes you through the cycle of fifths using triad arpeggios. As it is based on pairs of triads (up a fourth, down a tone, up a fourth, down a tone etc.), the exercise repeats with the second of each pair starting the pattern. One thing you will notice about the cycle of 5ths is that pairs move downwards in whole tone steps. As you know, up a fourth goes to the same chord as down a fifth.
