Bootcamp Routines for Personal Trainers

Many personal trainers are looking for bootcamp routines to start their own fitness bootcamps. It's a great way to supplement their personal training income or create their own bootcamp business. For a bootcamp business to be successful it must have a variety of routines. No one likes to do the same exercises each workout. The larger variety of bootcamp routines that you have, the more bootcampers you will have and the happier they will be.

Creating exercises is one of the areas that personal trainers struggle with in their bootcamp business. This takes up a lot of time that they could be using to grow their business. The easiest way to create new routines is by creating lots of mini circuits that you can put together to form your workout routines. Circuits can be created with similar body part exercises or exercises from different body parts. Bootcamp workout routines could focus on abs, legs, upper body, butt, arm, core strength or you can combine them into a full body routine. You can also mix up your circuits by creating circuits that are of different time lengths with different number of exercises. Circuits could be 5, 10 or 20 minutes with 20, 30, or 60 seconds per exercise. It's up to you. Once you see what your clients like the best and what gets them the best results then you can create routines following that template.

A great way to start your bootcamp routines is with warm up exercises for 5 to 10 minutes. Get everyone to loosen up so you don't have anyone pulling muscles or getting hurt. The warmup can be followed by 2 to 4 different circuits that you can perform 1 to 3 times each. At the end of the session have your group do a fun exercise that will help them to bond as a group. Don't forget to add in a cool down and some stretching at the end of your bootcamp session.

Here are some exercises you can include in your bootcamp circuit routines.

Upper body Exercises

Push-ups, T-push-ups, Spider-man push-ups, kneeling push-ups, staggered push-ups.
