October 17, 2017 By Anna Keefe

boot camp workout ideas

Ten hut, ladies and gents! These invigorating boot camp workout ideas will get you in shape and smiling in no time. (No equipment needed!)

Side Shuffle | Warm-up

Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips and bend your knees. Take 3 quick steps to the right and touch your right hand to your right foot. Bring your hand back up and take 3 steps to the left, repeating the motion. One set = once to the left and once to the right.

Time: 2 minutes
Sets: 1

Mountain Climbers | Cardio + Strength

Beginning in a full plank position, bring one knee up to your chest and return it back. Alternate knees as fast as you can.

Time: 1 minute
Sets: 2 (20 second rest between each set)

Flutter Kicks | Core

Lie on your back with your palms facing down under your lower back. Keep your legs straight, and begin with your left leg about 1 foot off the floor and your right leg about 2 feet off the floor. Alternate legs up and down.

Time: 1 minute
Reps: 2 (10 second rest between each set)

Burpees | Cardio + Strength

Start in a squat position and bring your hands to the floor, under your shoulders. With your hands planted, jump back into a plank. Jump up into the squat position and then jump up with your hands raised.

Time: 1 minute
Sets: 2 (20 second rest between each set)

Plank | Core

Position yourself with your hands below your shoulders and your feet on the floor, about a foot apart. Keep your body straight—it is important not to dip down or arch up. For a modified version, bring your arms down onto your elbows.

Time: 1 minute
Reps: 2 (10 second rest between each set)

For twice the burn, repeat the boot camp workout.
