Want to
burn 300-500 calories in 20 minutes? Why not try one of my 30-Minute Body Blast
Bootcamp classes at home! You can play this video and follow along with my
entire class. It’ll be fun!! ;)
Don’t be
deceived by the fact that it is only a 20-minute workout. It is insanely
intense! You’ll burn up more calories than most people who putt around the gym
for an hour or more. When it comes to maximizing calorie-burn, it’s not always
about how long you workout, but more about the level of intensity.

This
20-minute period will totally challenge your strength and endurance, and burn
fat like you wouldn’t believe. Each exercise is performed one after the other,
back-to-back, with little to no rest in between. It’s intense! It’s not as easy
as it looks (trust me), but you’ll get good at it once you start and stay with
it.. Not to mention, you’ll be hooked once you feel and see the results!

Whatever
your fitness level, make sure you start slow and go at your own pace. Work
according to your fitness level — it’ll be challenging no matter what your
fitness level, especially when you start adding heavier weights, moving faster,
doing lower squats and making higher jumps.

Hi Penny!
Your entire interval time is 11 minutes excluding the finisher (torso twist). Will I repeat the entire series 1 more time to make it to an intense 20 minute interval as said in your breakdown to a total 30 minute interval?
Best regards,
Josephine
Hi Josephine,
Actually the entire interval time is over 12 minutes (this is the intense part of the workout). If you played the video and did the entire class, you'll see that the warm up part, including the intense workout time will all add up to over 20 minutes, plus stretches which then adds up to a little over 30 minute. Hence it's a 30-minute bootcamp. :)
But feel free to repeat the entire sequence for even more calorie burn and body improvement :) There are no rules, you can modify to suit you however you like providing you can do everything in proper form throughout the workout. This is why it's important to watch the video from the beginning and practice proper form with the class before executing with intensity.
Be sure to stretch after as the stretches is what's going to help you perform even better. I just posted my stretches today here.
