Bootcamp

I do my class in a gymnasium and have access to a lot of equipment. We use steps, ladders, cones, hurdles, jumpropes, medicine balls, bars, weights, bands, dumbells. The stations depend on the amount of participants. I like to have two people per station.

Steps     Cones  Hurdles   ladder    Cone      Medicine ball

Steps are vertical in a long row, cones are in a line, around 2 feet apart, hurdles in a line about a foot apart. Two ladders set up next to each other. Two cones about 6 feet apart (2 sets like this), one medicine ball.

Have participants bring one set of dumbbells with them to each station, but put off to the side. Each station should last 1 - 2 minutes on the cardio.

• For the steps do over the top, or fast straddles.
• For the cones, jog - weaving in and out of the cones.
• For the hurdles, leap over them, or stand sideways and jump laterally over them, or facing forward jump over them.
• For the second set of cones - run a figure eight
• For the hurdles, start at one end and face sideways, have the outside leg cross over the other leg, (half a kareoke), traveling down the ladder, then return with the other leg
• With the medicine ball, face your partner throwing the ball at chest level, shuffle sideways back and forth.

After 1 -2 minutes, have participants pick up dumbbells and do traveling lunges, hold dumbbells over shoulders for the isometric, or add shoulder presses - then rotate to the next station. Make sure they bring their dumbells with them. You will alternate between toning and cardio. Here are ideas for the toning segments:

• Stationary lunges with bicep curl, palms facing up - switch leg position and do bicep curls with palms facing out
• Squats with lateral shoulder raises
• Wide leg squats, toes out, tailbone tucked under for adductors, while doing overhead tricep extensions
• Left leg on the step, lean forward with back parallel to the ground, both dumbells in the right hand, do rows, then switch legs and arms
• One dumbell in each hand, hing forward at the waist, weight on left leg, right leg extended back. Arms hang and extend to the ground, pull arms into the side of the chest with elbows out, while lifting back leg, two sets of eight, then switch sides.

You can go through the circuit again, adding your own toning in between, or you can have everyone do jump rope for 2 minutes, frog jumps across the room, calf raises on the steps

Finish with push-ups for the chest and abdominals
