Texas Fit Chicks I Miss Boot Camp Workout

For each letter in “I Miss Boot Camp” you will do one exercise as described below.  While there is no substitute for your boot camp experience, this is a great workout that will get you sweaty and feeling STRONG!  So turn up the music and WORK IT!

Warm Up for 5-7 minutes

Manmakers: (this can be done with or without weights) start standing, drop to floor hands in front of feet, step/jump back to plank, pushup, row R arm up, pushup, row L arm up, walk/jump feet to hands, stand/jump up – that’s 1 rep.  Repeat 10x

Tabata:  Pick your favorite exercise from pushups, squats to calf raise/squat jumps, or burpees; do it for 20 seconds, then 10 seconds rest; repeat 8x (it helps if you download a tabata timer app but you can do this with a regular timer too)

Challenge Plank:  How long can you hold a full plank (knees off the ground/hands under shoulders)?  Time yourself and don’t give up!
