In traditional military style bootcamp most (if not all) exercises are performed without weights. These are body resistant exercises many of which are performed on the ground. The following exercises will improve upper and lower back strength.
Push Ups
Push ups can be performed on the knees or toes. Perform regular push ups at a very slow pace. Do 1 repetition then hold and count to 10 before doing the second repetition. Perform 10 repetitions.
Legs are sometimes the least favorite body part most people want to work on. Being a larger muscle group they are often easily fatigued and take a lot of energy out of you. Due to inflexibility of the hamstrings and weakness of the quadriceps muscles people often experience a little muscular pain and tension. The following lower body exercises are meant to add variety and exitement into your lower body workouts. They are ment to strengthen the quads and improve flexibility in the hamstrings. They are dynamic in nature and will also help to improve balance. Exercises with dumbells and medicine balls are ment to improve overall strength, flexibility and coordination. Perform them with care and strict form.
Bootcamp exercises can be used to improve agility, cardio respiratory endurance, muscular endurance, and to some degree muscular strength. Combined with individual and partner exercises, these drills require participants to change their positions rapidly and do various basic skills in all planes of motion. These are my favorite exercises. I’ve used them in my personal fitness routines and you can used them to improve your cardiovascular efficiency and weight loss. Over the next 10 weeks I will post a home made bootcamp program for all to participate in. If you’re following along I would like to get your feedback. Hooaah!!
