Tough Tuesday Workout January 28, 2013

Well, the news is in and I'll get to teach Boot Camp for another month!! And, it seems like the members must've known they should show up because I had 5 people turn up to class. I was elated since I had a big workout planned.  We took cues from Bodyrock.tv and Zuzka Light.

Need:  step with 2 risers, heavy weights, 1 lb dumbells (optional), mat, ball

Warm Up
Walk, Run, Jacks, Jump Rope, squats lunges and stretches for the legs and arms and overhead reach to warm up.

HIIT Section - based on workout from BodyRocktv's HIITmax. At the top of the clock we did 50 seconds on, 10 seconds rest (Standard for BodyRock) for 11 moves alternated with jump rope.  We did not have jump ropes so we fake jump roped and they had the option to use 1 lb dumbells for added resistance.
