Exercises
Having trouble remembering the exercises? Don't worry, with time you'll know them all by heart, especially if you're working out regularly. Here is a break down of Bootcamp's exercises in each of the four categories. The in-app exercise picture along with the description are listed below. As always, have fun and enjoy your workouts.
Our 5 and 2 year-olds LOVE when we workout together with this app. They know most of the exercises already and love to show us that they can do it too. Not to mention it is fun watching them run in place, attempt jumping jacks, and get in position for plank. We definitely burn more calories because we're laughing the whole way through.
