WORKOUTS CHOICES
1. DVD. Go to out website and click on the DVD links at the top of the page. You can choose your own workout based on your fitness level, how long you have to workout and how many days a week you want to commit to. Based on that, you can print out the workout guide that will tell you what segments on the dvd to do.
2. BLOG WORKOUTS.
We will post the workout in the blog every day. We will be sending out the workouts sometime the evening before the next day on the home page of our blog. Instead of putting a bunch of different exercises each day, we want to focus on getting in some great exercise and focusing on trying to go as long as you can in the time you have to work out.
You will just copy the workout and print it out. Have a timer ready to go and have a timer as to how long you worked out or how many sets you get done. Then, all you do is comment on to what you time was or how many sets you completed.
The IDEA is to create an environment among us all that we are trying to push each other to workout. So we encourage you to comment each day as it will not only motivate you but motivate others. If you have a question, post it on the blog and I will answer it.

You will have timer and start the timer AFTER your warm up. If you are not sure how to do the warm up exercises pay attention next time at boot camp. Just joking – Just do about 5 minutes of stretching and moving.
Warm Up
Forward Lunge
BackWard Lunge
Airplane
Summo
Hand Walk
Perform each exercise for 1 minute. Rest for only 15 seconds before starting the next exercise. You will perform a circuit until you cannot do any more exercises (until you give up) or until you do not have any more time. YOU WILL COUNT HOW MANY CIRCUITS you complete and WRITE YOUR NAME AND HOW MANY CIRCUIT YOU COMPLETED IN THE COMMENTS SECTIONS OF THE BLOG BELOW>
Do as many repetitions as you can without stopping. Make sure you stay focused on your form. Each exercise you should focus on
1. Shoulders being pulled down your spine/back
2. Belly button being drawn in towards your spine.
Exercise #1 Fast Squats 1 minute
Focus – bend in hips keeping weight in heels
REST only 30 Seconds
Exercise #2 Pillar Bridges (on elbows) 1 minute
Focus – Elbows under chest and relax neck. Remember you can go on knees
REST only 30 Seconds
Exercise #3 Jump Squats 1 minute
Focus – Bend in hips, bring elbows to ribcage, explode up on toes or by jumping
Rest only 30 Seconds

Exercise #5 Right Leg Lunge 1 minute

Had a late dinner and walked the dog. Afterwards, I did one circuit.
Allie and I did 3 circuits (30 minutes) and a 30 minute walk/run.
Didn’t do the official circuits…..did do the circuits around my house….VIGOROUSLY cleaned my house! We are talking “mother-in-law” clean.
Did 2 circuits and then a circuit of my own creation!
I was able to get 4 circuits in and my legs are feeling it. It took me 27 minutes.
