The No Space Workout

Last week we held our annual Thanksgiving Day Bootcamp Workout at our Get Sexy Boot Camps in Milwaukee, WI.

I had a specific workout planned but was blown away by the sheer number of people who attended… so I had to quickly make-up a new workout on the spot since we were packed like a can of sardines in there.

So I just went with a very basic, but brutally effective bodyweight workout that was performed by each person in a small 4×6 space (think hotel room when traveling or basement or living room when at home), check it out below:

1- Squat Variation

2- Push-up Variation

3- Left Leg Split Squat Variation

4- Right Leg Split Squat Variation

5- Push-up Row Variation

We had campers and their guests do a 30 second recovery trot in place between 30 s work periods to keep them moving and get them in and out in 20 minutes.

The moral of the story- though it wasn’t the initial workout I had planned with lots of cool exercise and equipment options… we made it work and EVERYONE earned their Thanksgiving meal without all of the guilt!

On another note, it was an awesome workout that raised over 400 lbs of turkey for needy families in Milwaukee this Thanksgiving… I’m very proud of my campers for doing their part this Holiday season ;)

Crank it!

  1. BJ- What the heck? What’s up with this little 5 round workout?

    I did the Turkey Day Bootcamp Workout you sent out last week with my campers on Thanksgiving. And THEY HATED ME!!! One of my clients actually came up to me mid-way through the workout and asked if if I was trying to kill everyone. Another said “Are you trying to make all these new people never come back?” with an extremely concerned look on her face. Haha

    I had to cut the 50-10s in half, I didn’t finish the last round of 30-30 mayhem, and everyone was basically sitting on their butts staring at me like I was Satan during the final round of tabatas…

    So all in all…It was freakin awesome!
