10 Super Seconds
Drill length: 5 minutes
Equipment needed: Interval timer
Group size: 1 or more
Set Up
Set up a timer for :10 Seconds (you can choose how many sets to do) 6 x :10 = 1:00 and I usually do 5 Rounds per set which would equal 5 minutes. This can be done as a 5 minute drill or a full 15 minute cardio workout using a few different sets.
How it Works
Complete the exercises for :10 seconds. I usually put 2 similar exercises back to back, inserting the (:10) rest in the middle and end, giving them a chance to either get on the ground or get into stand position. You can use any quick cardio exercise for this drill, quick movement exercises work best.

Exercise Descriptions
*Push Up Marches: Almost like shoulder taps, but not to the full extend of tapping the shoulder, just like fast feet, these are performed like fast hands, I also call them hot hands. Lifting and pressing the hands in push up position with minimal body movement and as fast as you can.
*Reverse Jacks: Starting with your feet apart, jumping the feet together (like clicking the ankles) landing back in an open jack position.
*Thrust: This is the lower part of a burpee, in high plank position, jump both feet in and out repeating this movement only.
One website to save you hours of planning time a week
Planning sessions can be a lot of fun, but most of the time it can be mind-numbing and tedious trying to come up with fresh, interesting ideas to use at one’s bootcamp.
We created BootCraft, a library of group fitness drills, to make getting inspired and planning workouts a fun, speedy process. Workouts on workouts on workouts, all with the ease of a few mouse clicks.
Kyle Wood created Bootcamp Ideas in 2010 when he was hunting around on the internet for workout ideas. He ran a successful bootcamp in Victoria, Australia and spends his spare time managing this site, adventuring (or lazying) with his wife and find new ways to make bootcamps even better.
