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.

Valslide Bodyweight Interval Circuit Training Powered by Workout Muse Fitness Music

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Today I am going to share one of my favorite training tools, the Valslide, created by celebrity trainer Valerie Waters.

Valslides are essentially portable mini-slideboards that allow you to intensify many body weight core and lower body exercises without adding any external loading.

Plus, they are a ton of fun to use as a change of pace for a stale workout routine!

Check out the video below to see yours truly demo a circuit training workout powered by Workout Muse fitness music using nothing but Valslides:

Valslides are also a great tool to add some exercise variety into your fitness bootcamps or group exercise sessions.

Check out the video below to see some of my campers rocking with the Valslide Slideouts exercise to smoke their abs using a piece of cardboard as the slide board surface:
