Spring Boot Camp Continues!
6am isn’t quite so early now thanks to daylight savings. Boot Camp has grown again with lots of new faces getting fit for the spring. We’d love to have you join us if you are thinking about starting a program.
Let’s Talk About Scaling
The #1 question I get from prospective boot campers is, “What if I don’t workout at all? Will this be too hard for me?” That’s a valid question so let’s breakdown how we fit a workout to 3 different levels of fitness.
Workout Version 1:
100 Jump Ropes
90 Situps
80 Box Jumps @ 20″ (jump onto a box 20 inches high)
70 Air Squats (just sit down on a chair then stand up)
60 Pushups
50 Situps
40 Pullups
30 Lunges
20 Dumbbell Push Presses @ 15lb dumbbells (press dumbbells from the shoulders over the head)
10 Ball Slams @ 20lbs (take a medicine ball and throw it to the ground)
This workout is obviously for someone who’s been a member for a long time and is comfortable with our exercises and needs a challenging workout. In Boot Camp, we have about 3-4 members at this level.
Workout Version 2 (slightly scaled, for intermediate members):
100 Jump Ropes
90 Flutter Kicks (while lying down, take your legs and move them up and down like scissors)
80 Box step ups @ 20″ (step onto a box 20 inches high)
70 Air Squats (just sit down on a chair then stand up)
60 Pushups (on knees)
50 Flutter Kicks
40 Ring Rows (grab rings, lay back and pull yourself up)
30 Lunges
20 Dumbbell Push Presses @ 10lb dumbbells (press dumbbells from the shoulders over the head)
10 Ball Slams @ 15lbs (take a medicine ball and throw it to the ground)
This scaled version we changed 90 situps to flutter kicks, pushups to knees, pullups to ring rows, dunbbell presses to 10lb dumbbells, and ball slams to 15lbs. We basically took almost every exercise and made it a little easier. This is still a whole-body challenging workout.
Workout Version 2 (slightly scaled, for intermediate members):
50 Jump Ropes
45 Flutter Kicks (while lying down, take your legs and move them up and down like scissors)
40 Box step ups @ 20″ (step onto a box 20 inches high)
35 Air Squats (just sit down on a chair then stand up)
30 Pushups (on knees)
25 Flutter Kicks
20 Ring Rows (grab rings, lay back and pull yourself up)
15 Lunges
10 Dumbbell Push Presses @ 10lb dumbbells (press dumbbells from the shoulders over the head)
5 Ball Slams @ 15lbs (take a medicine ball and throw it to the ground)
Here’s the beginner version of our workout. This would take most people who are brand new to Boot Camp around 15 minutes to complete with a couple of water breaks. At the end, you will be tired but not exhausted. For anyone who has been a member for more than 2 weeks, this workout would be too easy.
