Create your own Boot Camp Workout

Make your own bootcamp! Last year Boot Camps were hot and in many cities you were able to sign up in a program and once or twice a week you could kill yourself in a workout similar to the ones the soldiers get. But...you don’t have to sign up for a group, you can make your own boot camp workout with friends!!!

Boot camp workouts are great to get in shape because you work on your entire body with different exercises. You burn a lot of calories and it is efficient because you don’t need a lot of time, so it is easy to fit in a busy schedule. You won’t get bored if you try to think of different exercises and you can make them as challenging as you want them to be.

This sounds nice but how can I make a boot camp workout? Easy, go online and you will find many different suggestions and tips. Today we give you our favorite exercises and tips:

Tip 1: When you start, try to make a schedule of your workouts and, slowly, increase the intensity. If you make it to hard in the beginning you won’t persevere. Start with only 15 or 30 minutes a day twice a week and you will be able to keep going.


Start with a 10 till 15 minutes warm-up exercise. Go for a jog or a short run and choose 5 till 10 exercises. Try to perform each one after the other for 30-60 seconds.

Exercise tips
1)      Jumping Jacks
If you like to increase the intensity, after the jump put your feet back together and bring the right knee up and snap the foot out in a front kick.
2)      High jogs
3)      Triceps dips
Find a bench on the street or in the park and you can do them while you jog.
4)      Ski jumps
5)      Lunges
6)      Pushups
In the beginning you can do this exercise on your knees instead of your toes to lower the intensity.

Tip 2: Try to find somebody to workout with. It is always more fun to work out together and to challenge eachother. Moreover, if you don’t want to go, your fiend can convince you to go.

At the end of your workout do not forget to do a cooling down exercise! Good luck ladies and most important, have FUN!
