Now those are two words you never thought you would see together! Bootcamp gets its groove on with Bootcamp Boogie. This program is an interval workout that alternates athletic moves with cardio grooves. Nine easy-to-learn cardio segments are created utilizing a basic combination that moves into a Boot Camp/athletic version followed by a Boogie/dance version. Every segment is wrapped up with a 45 second Blast/interval.
A well-structured workout that interweaves two distinct aerobic styles: athletic bootcamp and simple dance. It's a uniquely interesting format that maximizes variety, energy and results. The intervals are even more diverse than just "bootcamp" and "dance." Each cycle also includes a high-intensity/high-impact "cardio burst" followed by a slower recovery segment (it's great for motivation; you can really push yourself because you know an easier interval is always coming up). All the moves are fluid and natural with excellent transitions (e.g. a basic athletic step smoothly morphs into a hip-swinging/foot-tapping dance routine).
