Boot Camp Style Workout Routine #1. Burn off extra fat and get ripped for summer!

We Call It The 6x10 Burner!

Boot camp workouts have been the rage for the last 5 years or so in the mainstream public. This is for good reason too because where the workouts came from are reflective of the level of fitness and conditioning that can be achieved. You only need to look at some new soldiers as they come out of boot camp to see the massive changes this kind of fast paced exercise routine can have on the body.

As an ex-infantry soldier myself, I have a huge warehouse of favorite boot camp style workouts that I love to do and share with my fat to fit program subscribers. The workout routine below is one of them. This 6 X 10 workout is a great standby that I use in my commando cardio boot camp class quite frequently and they love it.

In this workout routine you get the benefits of a cardio workout and a resistance training workout all in one. As long as you pick weights that will be challenging for you, a workout like this will leave you with very little gas left in the tank.

Start off with one minute of these good old-fashioned army standbys:

Jumping Jacks

Bodyweight Squats

Sit-ups

Pushups

That should get you nice and warm. From here it is strongly suggested to go through a full body stretching process. Not only will this make the movements safer to perform but your level of soreness the next day will not be debilitating. If any of these exercises are unknown to you, there are loads of exercise videos on the website linked below to show you how they are to be done properly.

The Boot Camp Routine

The exercises are paired together and supersetted. This means you have no rest between one exercise and the other. Once you are done all six supersets, then you can take a rest. If you do need a rest, then you do a cardio type movement for 1 minute. Jumping jacks, stepping or mountain climbers will set the burn in and melt off the fat.

Unless stated otherwise, all exercises you see here are done for six sets of 10 reps.

Here is where we workout the chest and back.

A1) Pushups with feet elevated

A2) Double dumbbell Rows

Now we move on to the shoulders, triceps and biceps.

B1) Standing dumbbell presses

B2) Standing dumbbell curls

B3) Lying Skull crushers

Do one minute of step between this group of these shoulder and arm exercises.

You cannot say your having a great workout, especially a boot camp workout without hitting those glutes and quads hard! So let get some leg action going.

C1) Jumping lunges 6x10

C2) Do one minute step between each one.

Do three different styles of step.

Now lets tie in the upper and lower body by hitting the core and stabilizer muscles with this great combination.

D1) Russian scissor flutter kicks with the med ball
