Fitness Tip of the Day: Wednesday's Wild Workout -- Boot Camp Intense Interval Training

Today's wild workout is part one of an Intense Interval Training workout.  It is from Day 2 of the Boot Camp Challenge that I posted last Saturday.  This total body workout is meant to help improve speed and endurance.

She uses a jump rope and a step for this workout.  You can do the jump rope part without a rope, just pretend and do the jumps or modify and pump the feet instead of actually jumping off the ground.  You can use a sturdy coffee table or chair in place of the step.  Each exercise is done for approximately 30 seconds.  The jump rope parts are quite intense, take breaks if you need to--but make them as little as possible.

Be careful on the squat pops, don't lock your knees out a the top--I'd really prefer you do regular squats here.

Again, the warm up is pretty intense.  You may want to do the warm up video in the right side bar first.  At the end, walk around a bit and let your heart rate come down before doing the stretches.
