Train SAFE!

Don't do any exercises that you aren't sure how to do. Always get personal
instruction from a certified trainer or ask for a substitute exercise.

If it hurts, STOP! Dont be afraid to use alternative exercises. I dont believe in


the no pain, no gain mentality.

If you need extra recovery within the workout or between workouts, don't hesitate
to take it. In other words, dont keep going if youre feeling dizzy!

Use a spotter if you are training with heavy weights.

Just because something looks easy on paper doesnt mean you dismiss it. On the
other end if something looks too difficult, then be safe and use an easier
exercise and adjust recovery and rest periods.

If you want to start this or any other program but think you have an injury, get
medical attention FIRST and have a professional therapist rehabilitate your injury
before starting any exercise program.

If you decide to use running as your form of interval training (especially sprints),
make sure you have good running shoes and always do an extra thorough warm-
up.

And for the timed sets, I strongly encourage you to buy a gymboss interval timer. For
one thing, they are awesome. Also, they are inexpensive for what you get. Check them
out at www.gymboss.com. Or you can use an interval timer application on your
smartphone.

A Quick Note About Offering Exercise Substitutions

Always offer exercise substitutions to your bootcampers. Lets face it. Not everyone
needs to be doing jump squats. So when you offer these finishers, be sure to offer an
exercise substitution for the more challenging exercises.

Here are a few examples:

Instead of Jump Squats, you can do Total Body Extensions or Low Box Jumps

Instead of Decline Pushups (or any other more challenging pushups), you can do normal
Pushups

Instead of Lunge Jumps, you can do the Split Shuffle

Always offer an alternative exercise based on your bootcampers fitness level. Alright,
lets rock this thing.

www.WorkoutFinishers.com

Bootcamp Finisher Games

Use these finishers at the END of your main workout. These are designed to compliment
your main workout, not replace it.

Be conservative when you try a finisher for the first time. For example, if a
finisher calls for 3 rounds, complete only 1-2 rounds the first time you do that
finisher.

Dont be afraid to substitute an easier exercise to fit your unique fitness level. For
example, you can do regular pushups instead of Spiderman pushups.

Things to Remember

A superset is 2 exercises back-to-back with no rest, but resting after both exercises are
complete. For example, lets say you have a finisher that says:

1A) Body Squats (30 secs)


1B) Push-ups (30 secs)
Do the above superset 3 times with 30 secs of rest between supersets.

Here is what you do: one set of 30 seconds of Body Squats, then immediately, with NO
rest, 30 seconds of push-ups, THEN rest 30 seconds. See? You would do this 2 more
times for a total of 3 supersets.

Timed sets work best with bootcamp workouts. Everyone can go at their own pace.

A circuit is a series of 3 exercises or more that are done back-to-back with no rest
between exercises. So, for example, lets say you have the following finisher:

1A) Body Squats (30 secs)


1B) Push-ups (30 secs)
1C) Inverted Row (30 secs)
Do the above circuit 4 times, resting for 1 minute between circuits

You would then do this:

30 seconds of Body Squats, immediately 30 seconds of Push-ups, immediately 30


seconds of Inverted Rows, and then rest for 1 minute. You would do this 4 times then
youre done!

Finisher # 1
Thats Jacked

Put your campers into groups of two (aka partners). The groups must complete 400
Jumping Jacks, but only one person can go at a time. The first group to finish off the 400
jumping jacks wins.

Jumping Jacks (400)

Finisher # 2
The Heart Thumper 300

Split your campers into groups of 3. Each group must complete the following circuit, and
they can be split up any way they wish. Only one person can go at a time. So, for
example, person 1 would complete 10 burpees while the other two encourage him/her.
While person 1 rests, person 2 jumps in and continues the burpees while the other two
encourage him/her. Continue in this fashion and promote teamwork. The first group to
complete the circuit wins.

1A) Burpees (100)


1B) Bodyweight Chops (50/side)
1C) Squat Thrusts (100)

Finisher # 3
Dealing with Cards

Grab a deck of cards. Here is what each card stands for:

King Total Body Extensions (30 secs), 10 secs of rest
Queen Lunge Jumps or Split Shuffle (30 secs), 10 secs of rest
Jacks Alternating Prisoner Lunges (30 secs), 10 secs of rest
2-9 Number of rounds

Pick a random camper and ask him/her to pick a card. They must continue to go through
the pile until they pick up an Ace, King, Queen or Jack card. Then choose another
camper to choose another card, which must be 2-9.

So, if the two cards are King and 4, your finisher will be this:

Total Body Extensions (30 secs), rest 10 secs 4 times

Better hope they dont pick Ace and then a 9

to complete the following circuit, however only one person can go at a time. For
example, person 1 would do 20 prisoner reverse lunges and then rests, and while he/she
rests, his/her partner would jump in and complete 20 prisoner reverse lunges. Thats 40
total, so 10 to go. The first team to complete all reps wins.

1A) Prisoner Reverse Lunge (25/side)


1B) Triple Stop Pushup (50)
1C) Bodyweight, Strap or Band Row (50)
1D) Spiderman Climb (25/side)

this one. One person starts off with DB or KB Swings, while the others in the group
perform Skater Hops for 30 seconds. Once the 30 seconds are up, the next person does
swings while everyone else performs skater hops. Do this for 5 minutes. Have your
campers rest if necessary.

Finisher # 7
Team Burpees

Split your bootcamp into groups of 3. The ulimate goal is to do 120 burpees between
everyone in each group. For example, one person may perform 40 burpees, the second
person performs 25 burpees and the third person performs 55, equaling a grand total of
120 burpees. But the catchy part? only one person in each group can be performing
the burpees. The other two rest and encourage. So when one person gets tired, someone
else steps in and cranks them out. Whatever groups finishes first gets a prize (t-shirt,
bragging rights, high five, gluten-free pancakes whatever)

1A) Burpees (120) as a group

Finisher # 8
The Nifty Fifty

Set your camp up in partners. The end goal achieve the following:

Jump Squats or Low Box Jumps (50)


Goblet Squat (50)
Close-Grip Pushups (50)

You can have your partners split up the exercises however they wish, BUT only ONE
person can go at a time. You can also go in any order. So, for example:
First person does 10 jump squats and 10 close-grip pushups, then rests
Second person does 10 goblet squats, then rests. The first group to achieve it all wins.

Finisher # 9
The Twenty/Twenty

Split your campers in half. Group A will perform DB/KB Swings for 20 seconds, while
Group B performs Pushups for 20 seconds. Every 20 seconds, switch. Do this 5 times.

Inching the Relay

Set up your campers into groups of 3-4. Set up a cone for each team about 20 yards from
the starting line (use another cone to designate the starting line if needed). The first
person performs the inchworm all the way to the cone, and then sprints back, while the
others in the group perform jumping jacks. Once the first person comes back, they tag the
next person and the chaos continues. The first group to finish wins. Everyone must
complete the relay TWICE. So, lets sum it up:

Inchworm, followed by sprinting back


Everyone else Jumping Jacks
2X

Finisher # 11
Follow the Leader

Choose a random camper and they get to call the shots. They can choose from the Split
Shuffle, Total Body Extension, Jumping Jacks or Skater Hops. Once they shout out the
