Well, it’s finally warm up here in Milwaukee, WI, so we’re taken our workouts outdoors a couple times a week to mix things up!
Check out the video below from our 6 am boot camp workout using nothing but a hill and your body weight… they were DEAD at the end:
Here is a great total body core exercise called rotational hill push-ups that will have your abs ripped up the next day, in a good way 
Hope this gives you some ideas to get fit using the great outdoors… more to come!
Crank it!

BJ,
I don’t know what is worse, the 6am killer workout or the hill!! (I’m not a morning person, lol). I’ve always ran sprints up and down a hill, but never thought about bear crawls, lunges or pushups. Def going to give that a try during my next hill workout!
no doubt Mike! My wife Naomi and I did the same workout after the campers left and it tore us up
I love these alternative exercises using the hill- bear crawls and monster walks are great for systemic strength and mobility and help progress our clients into eventually doing all-out sprints up and down the hill
send me a video bro, love to see other’s get after it
crank it!

BJ, Looks like this workout will be added to all 3 of my class. Your workout and workout muse have saved me time and my campers love them. Keep cranking them out

BJ, My Group just finish up 8-weeks of Hill Sprints. Looks like the next thing will be alternative exercises up and down the Hill. I can’t wait to spring this workout on them.

Absolutely Love it!!
Glad you all liked it, thanks!
Dave, this is what we did (though there are a ton of different interval protocols that fit):
we partnered the campers up, and then one would do the cardio exercise for distance up and back down the hill while the other would do max reps or a max hold for a core exercise during the time it took his/her partner to complete the cardio exercise… and then they switch.
Continuous Work Zone#1- Max Rounds for Time in 10 Minutes
1 Core- Upper Body Twist
2 Cardio- Bear Crawl
Continuous Work Zone#2- Max Rounds for Time in 10 Minutes
1 Core- Rotational Hill Push-ups
2 Cardio- Monster Walk
We use 2 different 10-minute continuous work soundtracks powered by Workout Muse that provide 1-minute updates to pace the workout and have people focus on accomplishing as much work as possible (density) within that time frame.
We’ll be releasing more of these type of tracks in the months to come
crank it!
