Not long ago, bootcamp workouts were the thing. In many cities, you could sign up for a program, meet in local parks and kill yourself with workouts that resemble the physical training of soldiers. Well, you don't have to train like a soldier to lose weight and get in shape. Make your own boot camp workout for a challenging circuit training workout.

Boot camp workouts are efficient because you work your entire body-- heart and muscles--by going from one exercise to another with no rest. The workouts involve calisthenics like pushups, jumping jacks, crunches and other body weight exercises...the difference lies in the intensity.
