Bootcamps have evolved so much, especially in the last 12-14 months. Im friends with several successful bootcamp owners and coaches and when we hang out, I like to ask them what the trends are and how they are doing things different to be so successful.
One of the biggest shifts with bootcamp workouts has been getting away from the normal workouts and using metabolic resistance training. So, after many conversations with some amazing bootcamp owners and coaches, I have compiled a list of what Ive learned from them to make your workouts and bootcamps different than the one down the street. Dare to Be Different #1 Use Metabolic Resistance Training Total body workouts work to burn a ridiculous amount of calories, thats why. Non-competing supersets and circuits with short recovery periods will keep your workouts fun and challenging.
# 2 Create a Community Whether you own a bootcamp or you work out with other people, hold each other accountable. Use available tools like facebook groups. Use social events like 5Ks to encourage each other. # 3 Use Unique Exercises If you do sit-ups and pushups all day, youre no different than the bootcamp down the street. Use different exercises that still burn fat like the Total Body Extension and Spiderman Pushups. #4 Use Strength and Conditioning Supersets Ive been doing a variety of these with my workouts and online/offline clients. Lately, Ive been cutting really loose after getting more feedback from clients. They work, and they are fun. An example of a strength and conditioning superset in a bootcamp setting would be something like this: 1A) Bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squat (1-1/2 rep style) (30 secs/side) 1B) Burpees (30 secs) Rest 1 minute and repeat 2 more times. 2A) Decline Pushups (30 secs) 2B) Side-to-Side Jumps (30 secs) Rest 1 minute and repeat 2 more times Let the good times roll its certainly different than the norm.
#5 Use Bodyweight Exercises for Interval Training After the strength training, this is the fun part. You can do something like bodyweight squats for 50 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest up to 5 times. Or you can switch from upper body to lower body like this: Bodyweight Exercises Intervals Bodyweight Squats (50 secs), rest 10 secs Pushups (50 secs), rest 10 secs Total Body Extensions (50 secs), rest 10 secs Boom.
#7 Use Finishers with Your Workouts Finishers, as you know, are a way to end your workout with a very high intensity bang. Im going to do a series on finishers, but for now, there are several on this blog. Start with this one by clicking here. Using these 7 tips will make a difference with your workouts and with your campers.
