Very cool internship! Thanks for your feedback. The Mtn climber is one of my favorites. I hope to get a great mix of exercises & find challenges/variations for each level attending.

Best to you,

Sara

I just finished an internship at Gold's Gym and for the last 8 hours I assisted in boot camp classes. To me boot camp makes you creative when coming up with new workouts. You can mix strength with cardio and give them a great workout. I gave them a good warm up, dynamic stretching then went to some "old school stuff" jumping jacks, squat thrusts, mountain climbers. I did a bunch of different exercises for abs and core, then I would use kettlebells,med balls and dumb bells for strength. To me this was alot more fun then a one on one with a client.

Hey guys,

I led my first bootcamp-style workout (free) at a neighborhood park last night. I'm wondering:

- what you like most about bootcamp workouts

- what exercises are hardest in a good way

- what exercises you hate in a good way

- what you look forward to most in a bootcamp style workout

- any other suggestions/ideas you have for making the ideal bootcamp mix

Thanks!
