4 No Limit Body Weight Blaster No Limit Boot Camp has come up with an in home edition for those of you working out at home. This program is designed to cover your whole body without using any equipment. The workouts you will be doing will be in circuit fashion-which means one exercise after another with no rest. Each group is a circuit. After completing each group circuit you can rest seconds before repeating the circuit. You have 3 groups per workout. The Breakdown The body weight workouts will be performed 3 days a week (preferably Mon/Wed/Fri) followed by Burnouts. On your CARDIO days you will perform a Burnout sequence followed by cardio. One day a week you take completely off, do absolutely nothing! The Burnout sequence is an amazing form of high intensity training which produces remarkable results. A Burnout sequence is an interval training cycle of 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated without pause 8 times for a total of 4 minutes. It is very effective yet very challenging because you must push yourself as hard as you can and move as fast as you can through each movement(while keeping proper form). It s ONLY 4 minutes, how bad can it be? 1.) Body weight Circuit Training-3 days a week 2.) Burnout sequence-6 days a week (Immediately after workouts and on off days before cardio) 3.) Cardio-3 days a week Burnouts Exercise Number of Rounds Level Prisoner Squat 8 (20 sec on, 10 sec off) Beginner (hands behind head) Mountain Climbers 8 (20 sec on, 10 sec off) Beginner/Intermediate Jump Rope 8 (20 sec on, 10 sec off) Intermediate Jump Squat 8 (20 sec on, 10 sec off) Intermediate/Advanced Burpees with Jump 8 (20 sec on, 10 sec off) Advanced Spiderman Pushup 8 (20 sec on, 10 sec off) Advanced Workout Days On your workout days warm up with 5-10 minutes of cardio, follow it with a light stretch and perform your workout.

If you think you can handle it, choose 2. Cardio Days
