Thank

you for downloading our 12 FREE Done-for-You Boot Camp Workouts


Since Chris is the Mac Daddy at exploding your fitness business through his ninja tactics and unconventional marketing strategies, we wanted to give you a few (and hopefully new) ideas on some cool workouts that you can use with your boot camp classes. These are THE SAME types of workouts we use in our own personal boot camps... theyre a lot of fun and we get AWESOME results with our campers! Note: Please keep in mind that these workouts are based from body-weight exercises, and because of that, they dont contain many posterior upper back exercises. It's very important if youre running an outdoor class or a class without weights, that you make sure to find a way in your regular program to ensure that these muscles are trained properly. We know you already know this, but just wanted to remind you J Weve included a manual with pictures and descriptions of all the exercises we have used in the following workouts to make it easy-to-follow. Modify any exercises and rest periods to fit your boot campers fitness levels as needed. Our workouts all begin with a 5-10 minute warm up. We focus on warming up the muscles that will be used in the workout for that particular class. For example, heres a quick example of one of our 5-10 minute warm-ups: 30 sec body weight squats 30 sec lunges (left leg) 30 sec lunges (right leg) 30 sec push-ups 30 sec bicycle crunches 30 sec plank 30 sec mountain climbers 60 seconds rest And Repeat Thanks again for choosing to download these workouts. We truly hope both you and your campers LOVE them. Theyre designed to save you time and energy so you can spend more time ON your business rather than IN your camp! Please feel free to email us (Alicia & Carrie) if you have any questions. info@CompleteBootCampWorkouts.com

Exercise Technique Manual

Written By, Alicia Streger, CSCS, RKC Carrie Kukuda, NB-CPT, RKC www.UltimatePersonalTrainersToolbox.com

Quad Dominant Exercises:


Basic Squat: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and point your toes slightly out. Push your hips backward and squat down bringing your upper legs to parallel to the ground. Make sure to keep your back flat, chest out, and your spine neutral. Push through your heels back to the starting position. **Trainer Tip: Make sure not to let your knees cross your toes at the bottom of the squat. Add weight to increase intensity.

Grouchos: (one of our favorites from P90X!) From the bottom of the Sumo Squat position (see Sumo Squat description for more details,) take small steps (one leg at a time) forward while keeping your body lowered in the squat position. You can perform this by stepping forward or stepping backward. **Trainer Tip: Try not letting your group stand up when switching from forward Grouchos to backward Grouchos!

Hindu Squat: Place feet shoulder-width apart and keep your feet pointing forward. Extend your arms out from your chest parallel to the floor. Keep the back straight, flex at the knees, and push your hips behind you while you lift your heels off the floor and end on the balls of your feet until you are in a squat-like position. Extend your arms down behind you for balance. As you push through the balls of your feet, swing your arms forward to chest level again and end in standing position with heels back on the floor. (Keep back as straight as possible.)

Medicine Ball Pass: Stand Have your campers form a circle where they stand close to each other. Give them a medicine ball and have them pass it to each while in a squat hold position. Have them continue to hold the squat position for either a specific time period or for a designated number of times around the circle. You can also have them toss it around to each other. Be creative here, this is a fun activity they will enjoy. (Pictures below assume theres someone to the left and right of the participant.)

Pistol Squat: (advanced and modified version) Stand up straight with one leg extended out in front and parallel to the floor. Foot should be firmly planted. You can either have your arms in front of you or hold a weight out in front of you. Pull yourself down to the ground by flexing the hips. Lower down to a position, where your support foot is flat and your hamstring/glute is touching your calf. Push through your heel to stand back up to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps. ***This is a very advanced exercise. Make sure your clients are well stretched before attempting this. Beginners should complete this exercise over a bench/chair as demonstrated in the picture.

Pistol Squat (modified) continued

Prisoner Squat: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and point your toes slightly out. Interlace your fingers and place your hands on the back of your head. Keep your arms elevated in this position throughout the entire movement. Push your hips backward and squat down bringing your upper legs to parallel to the ground. Make sure to keep your back flat, chest out, and your spine neutral. Push through your heels back to the starting position. **Trainer Tip: Make sure not to let your knees cross over top your toes at the bottom of the squat.

Squat & Hold: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and point your toes slightly out. Push your hips backward and squat down bringing your upper legs to parallel to the ground. PAUSE and HOLD at the bottom of the squat for five seconds before pushing up through your heels to the starting position of each rep. Make sure to keep your back flat, chest out, and your spine neutral. Repeat as necessary. **Trainer Tip: Make sure not to let your knees cross over top your toes at the bottom of the squat. Add weight to increase the intensity.

Squat with Lateral Leg Raise: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and point your toes slightly out. Push your hips backward and squat down bringing your upper legs to parallel to the ground. Make sure to keep your back flat, chest out, and your spine neutral. As you push through your heels and extend your knees, lift and extend your left leg out laterally by contracting your (left side) abductors. Lower the extended leg back to the starting position and repeat on each side for the desired number of reps. **Trainer Tip: Make sure not to let your knees cross over top your toes at the bottom of the squat.

Wall Sit: Find a wall or stable flat surface to support your body weight. Sit with your back against the wall with your hips flexed and knees at 90. Keep your shoulder blades against the wall while putting all of your weight into your heels. Hold this position for the desired amount of time. **Trainer Tip: For added intensity, you can have your clients lift up their toes and put ALL their weight on their heels. You can also have them lift on leg up a few inches off the ground to make it more challenging.

Hamstring Dominant Exercises:


3 Lunges: Stand with both feet together and take a large step forward with one leg (Your feet will remain planted here for the remainder of this exercise.) Lower the body by flexing the knee and dropping the hips until the back knee is almost touching the floor. The starting position is with your front knee directly above, or slightly behind the front heel. Keeping your front upper leg parallel to the ground, shift your body forward about three inches (keeping your upper leg parallel) until your knee is lined up directly over your front toe. Shift back into the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps on each side.

Lateral/ Side Lunge: Stand with both feet very far apart with your toes pointed out to 45. Lunge toward one side by flexing the hips and ONE knee while keeping the other knee straight. You may allow the toe of the straight leg to point upward. Repeat for the desired number of reps on each side. (Do not allow the knee to cross over the front of the toe.)

One-Leg Reaches/ One-Leg Touches: Stand with your legs shoulder width apart with your hands down by your sides. Raise your left heel back towards your glutes and do not let touch the ground until the rep is complete. Pretend you have something on the floor in front of you that you need to pick up. Flex your right knee and hips to bend over to touch the ground, balancing on your right leg. Extend your right knee and hips to return to the starting position. **Trainer Tip: Ensure that the knee does not cross over the toe line on the way down. Clients do not have to go all the way down to the ground for this exercise to be effective.

Reverse/ Backward Lunge: Stand with both feet together and take a step backward with one leg. Lower the body by flexing the knee and dropping the hips until the back knee is almost touching the floor. Return to the starting position by extending the hip and knee of the front leg. Repeat for the desired number of reps on each side. (Do not allow the knee to cross over the front of the toe.) **Picture taken looks like a forward lunge, but was taken from this angle so you can see the positioning of the body. Remember to step backwards from the standing position.

Walking Lunges: Stand with both feet together and take a step forward with one leg. Lower the body by flexing the knee and dropping the hips until the back knee is almost touching the floor. Transfer your weight to the front leg and extend the hip and knee of the front, stepping forward with the back leg. Lunge forward with the opposite leg and repeat for the desired number of reps. (Do not allow the knee to cross over the front of the toe.)

Smaller Lower Body Muscles:


Abduction: Lie on your left side with your legs extended. Place your left hand under your head for support (or you can rest your head on your left bicep.) Keep your right toe pointed toward the ground, and raise your right leg upwards as high as possible (keep the leg straight). Lower the leg back to the starting position and repeat on each side for the desired number of reps.

Fire Hydrants: Position yourself on the ground on your hands and knees (hands shoulder width on the ground in front of you and knees and hips should be at 90.) Keeping a flat back and neutral spine, raise one leg out laterally as far as possible at the hip joint by using your abductors. Lower your leg to the starting position and repeat on each side for desired number of reps/time.

Upper Body:
Push-Ups: From the top of a plank position and your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart, lower your body to the ground until your chest hits the floor. Extend your arms to return to the starting position. Keep your upper and lower body straight throughout the movement. Repeat for the desired number of reps. (Can be modified by having the client doing knee push-ups or doing this movement against a railing or wall.)

Spiderman Push-Ups: Be sure your shoulders are packed and then perform a push-up. As you lower your body, bring your knee laterally to the outside of your body up to hip level (keeping the knee parallel with the body- bring knee toward elbow). Dont let your hips touch the floor, keep your head and neck in neutral position and keep the core tight. Perform a push-up while bringing your leg back to the starting position. Perform another Spiderman pushup and lift the opposite knee to outside hip. Repeat for desired number of reps or for time.

Suicide Push-Ups: From the top of a plank position (elbows extended), place your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Keep your body straight and drop your left forearm on the ground (like you are going into a plank position) and follow by dropping your right forearm on the ground until you are in a strong plank position. Extend your elbows one at a time to return to the starting position. Make sure give each side equal work. Repeat for the desired number of reps. (Can be modified by having the client perform this on their knees.)

Tricep Push-Ups: From the top of a plank position, place your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart with your elbows pointed directly behind you. Lower your body to the ground until your chest hits the floor, keeping your elbows next to the side of your body as you perform the exercise. Extend your elbows to return to the starting position.
