Today was a great day. After our warm up we started off with a new routine that I learned from a fellow boot camp instructor Scott Colby of Dallas Texas. He calls it "No Gym Required" the exercises were

Burpees

Squats

Push up's

Knee to chin

60 seconds of each, 45 seconds of each, 30 seconds of each and then 15 seconds of each. These are done non-stop and everyone recorded their repetitions.
