This month on BootCraft we had something a little different.
It all began when one of our readers from the Netherlands emailed me to ask if I’d like a bootcamp adaptation he’d made based on a Dutch board game.
I immediately typed back ‘Yes please!’.
And so he sent through Ganzenboard (which means Geeseboard), a board game that dates back to the 16th Century!
I was stoked to share it on BootCraft last month as I know we have quite a few members from the Netherlands. I hope it gives them a little taste of home.
And today I’m sharing all of what was added to BootCraft last month to give you a taste of what goes on on BootCraft each month if you’re not already a member.
You can get access to all these drills today by grabbing yourself a 14-day free trial of BootCraft.

New To BootCraft: Workshops!
I’m currently running a series of free workshops on Bootcamp Ideas. The replay’s to these are only available to the public for a short time but BootCraft members will get access to them for as long as they’re a member.
The first workshop is now up. In November I’ll be running another workshop – that one will be all about warm ups and how they can transform your sessions when done right.
That’s all for this month. Enjoy!

Hey there, it’s Kyle, the guy who runs BCI.
I’m interrupting this broadcast (or blog post) to let you know about an epic tool I made for group fitness trainers called BootCraft.
BootCraft is a huge database of group fitness workout ideas 💡💡💡 that helps instructors plan unique, interesting workouts for their clients in minutes. It’s already helped hundreds of trainers around the world plan thousands of awesome workouts.
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.
