Weight loss Boot Camp

Found from the freeworkoutsguide.com

Equipment: Bands or weights, bike, elliptical machines. If you don’t have access to cardio machines than run, walk or jump rope the cardio portions following the same format.

Perform exercises 1-11 for reps/sets indicated going from one to the next without resting in between. This includes your warm-up, core exercises, body weight exercises, and fat burning cardio intervals. Run, walk, or jump rope, if you don't have access to cardio machines.

Seated Bike
Starting Position: Adjust the seat so that your legs have just a slight knee bend when your foot is at the bottom position.
Increase the resistance until you are challenged yet can keep good cycling form.
