Bootcamp Break, Workouts for you to do on vacation


Well, friends, this is the last week of bootcamp until after the New Year. I will be going to San Diego for Christmas, renting a house on the beach with my kids, my mom, and my brother and his family. I told them we're having bootcamp every day on the beach, but that wasn't met with a lot of enthusiasm! Anyway, while I'm gone I wanted to leave you with a couple workouts you can incorporate into your fitness routine so you aren't too sore when we start up again:-) For both workouts, spend 5 minutes or so warming up your major muscles, i.e. arm rotations, lunges, squats, forward kicks, and jumping jacks.






Workout #1 Supersets: 15 each

1. Weighted walking lunges, 15 each side

2. Pushups

3. Situps

Repeat 3 times


Again, 15 each

1. Squat with overhead press

2. Dips on bench or tricep kickbacks

3. Bicycle abs ( opposite elbow to opposite knee)

Repeat 3 times


This is a complete whole body workout. Throw in a quick run or bicycle ride if you want more cardio. And, always stretch major muscles after your workout for at least a 30 second hold.



Workout #2: 20 each exercise


1. Pushups


2. Jump squats


3. Renegade rows ( plank position with weights on ground, feet wide apart for better stability,alternate pulling weights up toward chest) 10 each side








4.V-ups on back


5. Overhead tricep press with reverse lunge ( 10 lunges each leg)


6. Mountain climbers, 20 each leg







7. Sumo squat with upright row







8. Situps


9. Bent over flys






10.Chest flies on back with butt off ground ( bridge)









If not challenging enough, repeat 1-2 times. Remember to stretch after!


I will see all of you back in January, check http://www.fitforcebootcamp.com/ for class schedules and to reserve your spot. January will be a busy month for bootcamp!


Happy Holidays to all of you!
