Want to
burn 300-500 calories in 20 minutes? Perhaps you should try one of my 30-Minute
Body Blast Bootcamp classes at home? ;)
I'll be
posting a video of one of my classes soon so you can try it at home and/or with
friends. All you need is some free weights. So stay tuned for that video next
week!! But in the meantime, I'm sharing a quick preview of one of my classes so
you can mentally prepare. :)
It's a
total of 30 minutes (5 minute warm up, 20 minute intense workout, and 5 minute
cool down stretch). Don't be deceived by the fact that it is a 20-minute
workout. It is insanely intense! You'll burn up more calories than most people
who putt around the gym for an hour or more; when it comes to maximizing
calorie-burn, it's not always about how long you workout, but more about the
level of intensity.
This
20-minute period will totally challenge your strength and endurance, and burn
fat like you wouldn't believe. Each exercise is performed one after the other,
back-to-back, with little to no rest in between. It's intense! It's not as easy
as it looks (trust me), but you'll get good at it once you start and stay with
it… Not to mention, you'll be hooked once you feel and see the results! :)
So make
sure you start slow and go at your own pace, work according to your fitness
level — it'll be challenging no matter what your fitness level, especially when
you start adding heavier weights, moving faster, doing lower squats and making
higher jumps.
If you're
not use to working out like this, then just watch this short preview for fun,
and wait till I post the full 30-Minute Body Blast Bootcamp next week. That
way, you can join me and do it along with the entire class from warming up,
going over proper form, executing the workout, to cool down stretch. :) It'll be
fun!
Enjoy this
teaser video for now... and if you're familiar with the moves, and want to try
it on your own, the exercises and interval times are all listed here below:
1 min –
Prisoner Squats (weights are optional)
30 sec –
Jump Squats (weights are optional)
30 sec –
Shoulder Lateral Raises
1 min –
Gliding Skater Lunges (weights are optional)
1 min –
Plank Jump-jacks
30 sec –
Bent-over Rows
1 min –
Burpees (with or without push ups, and weights are optional)
30 sec –
Bicel Curls
Perform this
group of exercises in this order and repeat it 3 rounds (3 sets). Try to
execute each move with little to no rest, and take a 30-second break between
each set. Have fun! :)
Love this workout, Penny. Tried it just now and worked up a sweat. Thanks for sharing! -Loretta
