Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Warm up beforehand. You need to perform at least 15 minutes of moderate exercise and stretches to get your heart pumping.

  2. Step 2

    Perform squats and lunges. Squats and lunges work your legs. To begin, perform eight reps for at least six sets. You need to alternate sides between sets.

  3. Step 3

    Do push ups. A main component of boot camp workouts is plenty of push ups. You should do as many as you can at a slow pace.

  4. Step 4

    Work your arms. Arm raises and wall push ups will be used during the boot camp workout to exercise your triceps and biceps.

  5. Step 5

    Cool down for 10 minutes following the boot camp workout. Since you perform both cardio and strength exercises, you need to incorporate a cool down period afterwards.

  6. Step 6

    Purchase a boot camp workout video for additional exercises. You can purchase the Celebrity Fit Club Boot Camp Workout or one from the Billy Blanks series.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember to drink water throughout your boot camp workout. It is an intense workout and you need to stay hydrated.
  • If you can't do regular push ups, you can do the easier version where you stay on your knees and work your arms up and down.
