30-15 Interval Metabolic Circuit with TRX, Valslides, Battle Ropes, Resistance Bands, Kettlebells and Dumbbells

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Since my MISSION: METABOLISM BOOTCAMP only has 2 weeks of training for the month of December before a 2-week holiday break, I’ve decided to select my 6 favorite workout templates of 2010.

Here’s my first favorite template and a done-for-you Level I, II, III program design chart like we do in Bootcamp Automator each and every month (plus the tracks and instructional videos to go with it and bodyweight alternatives for each workout).

30-15 Six-Exercise Metabolic Circuit with TRX, Valslides, Battle Ropes, Bands, Kettlebells and Dumbbells- 20 Minutes: Alternate between 30 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest for each exercise in the following 6-exercise circuit followed by a 60-second rest and transition between circuits.

Bands, Bells, Or BOTH??

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

At this past phase of bootcamp at our MISSION: METABOLISM BOOTCAMP in Milwaukee, WI we held a bring-a-buddy, win an iPad contest, where the camper who brought the most buddies over the course of the month won an iPad.

We had over 74 buddies come through camp which was awesome!

Plus, we held a special last chance bring-a-buddy workout featuring a special bands and bells workout using a 20-10 Tabata Track from the Resistance Band Training Soundtracks COMBO Package.

Here’s a quick highlight video of the workout:

Here’s a written version of the workout as a nice done-for-you template for your camps or your own personal workouts:

20-10 Tabata Band and Bells Workout

Station1-

1- Kettlebell Swings or Sumo Deadlift Variation

2- Band-Resisted Push-up Variation

Station2-

1- Kettlebell Swings or Sumo Deadlift Variation

2- Band Front Squat Variation

Station3-

1- Kettlebell Swings or Sumo Deadlift Variation

2- Band Split Stance Bent-Over Rows Variation

Station4-

1- Kettlebell Swings or Sumo Deadlift Variation

2- Band Speed Punches Variation

So do you want bands, bells, or both?

Well, let me first say that resistance bands are the most portable and seamless training tool to implement into your camps or personal workouts today! So if you are a new to fitness bootcamps or fitness in general, then I would recommend starting with bands and building from there.

Now, kettlebell exercises have a bigger learning curve than band exercises and kettlebells aren’t nearly as easy to transport from location to location. However, the kettlebell is truly a gym in your hand and is basically considered the closest thing to getting into a fight without getting punched. In other words, it’s a hardcore training tool best reserved for veteran bootcamp owners and hardcore fitness enthusiasts who LOVE to get after it!

Of course the ultimate option is combining bands and bells into one total fitness experience and this is best for health club and facility owners, thriving bootcamps, or elite fitness enthusiasts looking to take their body and performance to the next level. Bands and Bells combined allows for endless exercise options and the ability to train every possible fitness quality each and every workout… it’s the cream of the crop!!

Take a look at the interval workout music soundtrack options below to see what works best for you ;)
