Memorial Day Boot Camp Workouts

I will be spending Memorial Day with my Godson and his family eating great food and playing Wii. I hope I'm good at it because I don't like to lose. I sincerely hope you have an enjoyable, safe holiday as well. Before I head out to the festivities though, I will be sure to get in a nice damage control workout to offset any treats I may enjoy that day. As a matter of fact I've been giving a great effort in my workouts all week so that I can indulge guilt free. Here are a few of the boot camp workouts I've done. Give them a try and see if you like any of them. Even if you don't like them, they will help you keep your waist line tight this Memorial Day weekend.

BOOT CAMP WORKOUT #1 Burpee Cardio
Warm up for 5 minutes and then start your stopwatch. Do 10 burpees and then rest until the top of the next minute. Repeat for 20 minutes. This one is KILLER!

BOOT CAMP WORKOUT #2 Cram Time Strength Circuit
After a 5-minute warm up, do 8 of each of these exercises. Continue this giant circuit for 20 minutes straight resting only enough to hydrate. See how many rounds you can get. We did a similar workout in class this week and one boot camper got 16 ROUNDS. Talk about crazy fit!

Dumbbell Swings
Push Ups
Bent Over Alternating Rows
Sumo Deadlift
Alternating Bicep Curls
Skater Hops

BOOT CAMP WORKOUT #3 Outdoor Conditioning Workout
After a 5 minute warm up, run 1/4 mile.
Stop and do the following exercises:
15 Burpees
15 Forward Lunges (each leg)
10 Band Bicep Curls
40 Band Chest Presses
15 Push Ups
25 Squats
RUN 1/4 MILE
10 Diagonal Lunges
10 Band Squat & Presses
20 Band Rotations (each side - band attached to stop sign)
10 Feet Elevated Pushups
20 Side Lunges
