I love incorporating bootcamp workouts into my weekly routine. Building muscle not only allows you to burn fat, it helps you burn calories even days after a workout. Below are my favorite bootcamp-type workouts in Austin.
This one is a real butt-kicker. It is half cardio – running intervals on a treadmill; and half weights on the floor. You can also choose to do double treadmill or double floor as well.
