I've been teaching bootcamp for 2 years, indoor and outdoor. Sometimes I mix it up and we do obstacle courses, but mostly we do a lot of circuit style training so that they keep their heartrates up and burn the max calories they can. I alternate between a large muscle, multi, cardio then abs. Its efficient and effective. You will repeat the first and second exercises before doing cardio and abs once.
Warm up - 5 minutes
- Basic warm up exercises, incorporate in a little cardio to elevate heartrate (butt kicks, jump rope, jacks, etc.)
Circuit 1 (repeat first and second exercises before doing cardio and abs)
- Frog push up (on balls of feet, knees bent, almost like a crouching position, initiate push up without shifting hips or knees) - 1 minute
- Reverse lunge with bicep curl (curl as you lunge down, pull elbows slightly behind ribs when doing the curls) - 1 minute
- Jump rope - 2 minutes
- Full sit up - 1 minute
Circuit 2 (you will switch legs on second round)
- Chest press - 1 minute
- One leg bent row - 1 minute (stay on one leg for full minute)
- Butt kicks & high knees - 1 minute each
- Reverse crunch - 1 minute
Circuit 3
- Plank - 1 minute
- Side lunge with fan shoulder raises (as you lunge right, lift left arm to front and right arms to side - 1 minute
- Squat thrusts & football run - 1 minute each
- Bicycle crunch - 1 minute (slow!)
Circuit 4
- One leg lunge - 1 minute (stay on one leg for full minute)
- Low lunge with tricep press (stay in static low lunge, arms back, palms up, press palms to sky/ceiling-switch legs on second round) - 1 minute
- Mountain climbers - 1 minute
- Burpees - 30 seconds
- Jump rope - 30 seconds
- Corkscrew - 1 minute (leg straight up, make big circles with toes, alternating directions-make sure you focus on lifting hips as you come center to engage lower abdominals)
I always end with at least 10 minutes of yoga stretches at the end. You can take a break between each circuit if your class needs it. I give 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on their fitness level.
I hope you enjoy it! It's a killer but it's max calorie burn :)
