5 Quick Outdoor Bootcamp Workouts You Can Do Anywhere

Whether it’s vacation time or just a beautiful summer day, being able to get in a quick outdoor bootcamp workout can be beneficial to stay on track with your goals. I’m all for enjoying vacation and having days off, but there is something nice about having a quick workout in your back pocket that you can do anywhere.

These bootcamp workouts are ones I used to create for my group fitness classes, and are an easy and simple format to cycle through.

These 5 bootcamp workouts are going to be based on an EMOM style training format. My favorite! Well, depending on the workout, I'll give you 2 options to do this.

But, in case you haven’t done or heard of an EMOM before, it stands for Every Minute On The Minute. There’s a running clock going and for each minute you’re doing a certain exercise. Once that minute is up, the timer goes off and lets you know it’s time to switch to the next exercise. You either have a minute of work without rest, or you have a minute to get all your reps done before the next exercise starts depending on how you’d like the workout to go.

How that can look is if your exercise is squat jumps and you have to do 20 of them, you only have 1 minute to get all 20 done. If you’re able to get them done quickly, any remaining time in that minute is for resting. However, if you only get 15 squat jumps done before the minute is up, then you just move onto the next exercise without rest.

The other option is if you really want a challenge and a lot of cardio, you can decide to go the full minute for each exercise. So that means that each exercise you are trying to get as many reps done as possible before needing to switch to the next exercise, without rest.

For this list of 5 exercises, this is how I recommend setting up the overall plan:

15 minute EMOM workouts
3 exercises, 1 minute each, 5 rounds total.

Again, all of these can either be done with getting a certain amount of reps for each minute, or getting as many reps as possible done.

I’ll give you a rep count for each exercise option and you can go from there. If an exercise focuses on one side like fire hydrants, you can choose to alternate each side, or try to do 3-5 reps each side before switching back and forth until you get to the rep count.

Up to you, as long as the form is good and you aren’t sacrificing that for speed, everything will be fine!
