4 Phase Warm-Up:
Phase 1: Quadruped Breathing/Drawing In Maneuver
Perform 1-2 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing and abdominal recruitment while on all 4’s: Hands under shoulders and knees under hips, corkscrew elbows, shoulders back & down. Initiate breathing with belly (let it fall)–>rib cage and then chest, instead of initiating with chest. This is an easy way to teach people diaphragmatic breathing. Breathe in and out of nose for approximately 10s each breath (3s inhale (belly falls)–> 2 s hold–> 5 s exhale and draw belly in towards spine, feeling oblique’s engaging- avoid rounding back). This is not normal breathing given you don’t draw the belly in. The purpose of this is to educate about the inhalation and set the abdominal wall for ab exercises and other movements we do in the workout and prior to all lifts in the real world. This will help to stabilize the spine.
Phase 2: Foundation Mobility Training (5 Min) Incorporate movements similar or the same as the workouts below Explain the need to be in good posture for optimal breathing efficiency, strength, endurance, balance, etc. and to reduce potential injuries. With each movement incorporate breathing and make the movements flow. If there are tight areas focus on those areas and continue to breathe.
*Set Gym Boss or Interval App to: 30s work time, 5s rest, 6 sets for Phase 2
*3B’s= Draw in belly towards spine, engage bladder muscles and tuck butt
*2B’s= Draw in belly towards spine & engage bladder muscles
Phase 2: Core (Perform the following movements for 40s in a circuit with a 5s transition for 2 Sets
1. Supine Lower Ab Corkscrew *Hands under tailbone *Legs together with straight legs (Circle both legs to right > circle both legs to left > repeat) *3 B’s *Lower legs or make circle bigger to increase intensity *3B’s *Lift shoulder blades and head to increase intensity but look down
2. Dancing Crab with Bridge *Bridge position on hands and feet- turn hands out *Lock! *Reach hand towards opposite foot *Drop hips after each rep and lift again. *Hands under shoulders *Feet under knees
3. Prone T Superman *Arms out to sides – Thumbs up *Hold for 5s *Squeeze everything *Relax neck
Phase 4: Primal Movements: Review the WOD below for 5-10 reps *Goal is blood flow, not max efforts
*Review WOD below during Phase 3 & 4 as needed. Assign campers stations for the WOD below. After Phase 4 boot campers immediately transition to WOD. They can get water at any time on their own.
WOD: Perform the following (6 Station) Primary Movements (PM) below for 40s intervals and follow with Active Rest Movement (ARM) for 40s for 3 sets each station, then rotate to next station. All Boot Campers will perform same ARM as a group; however, you can accommodate twice as many campers if half the group does the PM and the other half does ARM. Transition time is 5s between PM & ARM and so they need to move quickly.
*Set Gym Boss or Interval App to: 40s work time, 5s rest, 6 sets, 30s transition time after all 3 sets are complete for PM & ARM, 36 total sets for workout.
PM (40s x 3 Sets):
- MB Prone One Arm Push-Ups (Alt. Sides) *Hand on top of MB and under shoulder – find the harder MB’s to reduce wrist strain *Roll MB to other hand after push-up to make easier *Wide feet *Keep shoulders back & down *Corkscrew elbows *Modify with just a ball push from right to left hand
- Squat Hold with Reverse Lunge (Alternate Sides) *Hold MB/SB to increase intensity or go lower *Hinge from hip *Move from core as you step back into lunge *Shoulders back & down *2B’s
