Yes, you can make your own boot camp workout at home. These workouts are as popular as ever with their high intensity being an ultimate calorie burner. A boot camp workout is patterned after military fitness training and is a full body workout. Body weight is used for strength and resistance, while high repetitions (reps) with no recovery stops increase endurance.

To begin designing your boot camp workout choose exercises and put them in order for a circuit. You will need a stopwatch to time yourself as you do as many reps as you can in 30 seconds and allow 10 seconds to move to the next stations. Once you have completed the entire circuit, rest for 1 minute, drink some water, then repeat the circuit.

Ideally this boot camp workout will take about 30 minutes but you can adjust the time to make it longer or shorter based on your fitness level. If you are new to exercise or trying to get back in shape you can still do the workout. Try doing 1 circuit with 8-10 reps at each station. Work on building up to 30 seconds per station and gradually up to 2 circuits.
Be healthy, be happy!
