Medicine Ball Bootcamp Workout

Happy Australia Day (is that how you say it?). I hope you set the example today by eating and drinking your fill. I mean NOT eating and drinking too much.

Here’s a workout I did with my group last week. It has plenty of high intensity and dynamic exercises that I’m sure your clients will love.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s surprise!

MB Bonanza

Goals: Crosstraining/FUN!

Duration: 1 hour

Equipment:  ConesMatsMedicine Balls

Warm Up

Spend 10-15 minutes on a warm up of your choice.

Snake Time

I have access to a path that forms an ‘S’ shape on a hill near us. It is affectionatly refered to as the Snake. It takes clients 1.5 to 2.5 minutes to down and up the Snake. Try to use a run or exercise that takes roughly the same time in your workout.

Split the class into two groups. Have one group run the Snake while the other group stays and performs 45-60 seconds of the following exercises.

  1. MB Switch Push Ups – do a push up with one hand on the medicine ball, switch hands and repeat
  2. MB Squat to Press

Have groups swap once back from the run. Repeat 3 times.

Rest 2 minutes.

Strength Circuit Bootcamp Workout

The last circuit bootcamp workout I put up here was hugely popular. Luckily I did another circuit with my clients a few weeks later.

This circuit is similiar to the last one except that each circuit uses the same timing rules. It’s also quite space efficient so it could be easily done indoors. That would save you lugging all of the equipment to the park too.

Kettlebells: Easy to hold, great for beginners

Mini Circuits 2.0

Goals: Full Body Strength

Duration: 1 hour

Equipment: Kettlebells, Medicine balls, Battling rope, Truck/tractor tyre, Mats, Interval timer

  • MB toss
  • MB toss w/ MB Squat
  • MB toss w/ MB Squat and a squat without MB
  • MB toss w/ MB Reverse Lunge
