Fitness Tip of the Day: Thursday's Total Body/Cardio - Denise Austin Sports Boot Camp

Today's workout comes from BeFit.  It is a 20 minute low impact, kettlebell inspired total body workout from Denise Austin.

The warm up is fairly short--I'd recommend doing the 5 minute warm up video first.

I'd also recommend a bit heavier dumbbell for the exercises that use momentum like the swings and the passing through the legs and lighter ones for the exercises she does with two weights.

Keep your back flat and chest up when you do the one arm row with dead lift.

Do NOT lean forward on the alternating lunges, as you pass through, keep your chest up bending at the knees.

If the kneeling position bothers your knees, you can do the kayak move in the same position as the exercise prior letting your heels touch the floor, or keep them elevated for more work.  Go slower if she's moving too fast for you to control.

Please do the full body stretch after.  Her stretch segment is not enough.


I wasn't able to load the video here, so here's the link:  Sports Boot Camp
