Year Released: 2010

Categories: Circuit Training (cardio and weights)


Paul leads this 72 minute bootcamp workout in a cute brick room with 2 backgrounders. You will need dumbbells for this workout. There is no modifier but Paul offers plenty of modification options for most exercises.

Absolutely LOVE the structure of this workout!!! You do 5 blocks; each block consists of 2 sets of: 1 min cardio, 1 min lower body strength work, 1 min upper body strength work, 1 min core work, and 30 seconds of rest. All the cardio is straight forward and athletic, lots of bootcamp-esque moves included. Very well rounded and done at a great cardiovascular pace! A lot of the cardio work will also work the lower body (bonus) and he hits the core in a lot of the exercises! The structure really makes this challenging workout doable!

Cardio Exercises Include: jump rope variations, burpee- Mt. climbers, runners lunge to hop up, squat jack & air jack, and hopping lunge & squats. Strength Exercises Include: iron cross, squat & lunge, quick pushups to Mt. climbers, squat knee up to curtsy knee up, lying tri press, and progressive lunges w/ a bi curl. Core Work Includes: windmill squats, plank, sit up & knee twist, plank (or chataragna) w/ a lateral knee pull, and X sit ups. A warmup and cooldown are also included.

I would rate this workout a lower advanced workout. You can easily go at your own pace for each 60 second exercise-making it very adaptable to many fitness levels. Paul & crew appear to be using 8's but I used heavier and didnt have any issues with keeping up or my form. Great cardio, strength, and core work- absolutely love this one! The time really flys by! This is my first time w/o'ing out w/ Paul and I really like him & his training style. His cuing is good and he provides plenty of form pointers throughout. Cant wait to try more from him. Received this from a distributor to review
