My partner Carrie and I were recently in San Diego for Oakley’s Progression Session and Shape Magazine’s Diva Dash. We held a special Bombshell Bootcamp workout during the event for 200 of Oakley’s VIP’s as part of theirlive ambassador search! We had a blast and are looking forward to meeting more amazing women at the Boulder and Dallas/Fort Worth events in May! For details on how you can join the event and apply to be an Oakley Ambassador read here.

In case you missed us at the San Diego event…here is a similar sample workout that you can do at home:
Bombshell Bootcamp 20 Minute Blast
We recommend you do this workout after a cardio session. But, it can be done on it’s own if you are short on time. This routine is a total body routine with core intervals mixed in.
- Warmup for 5 minutes (walk, run, do jumping jacks)
Circuit 1
- 15-20 Pushup Jacks (when you lower down into pushup position – jump feet out wider than hips. Jump feet back in together as you push yourself back to the top).
- 15 Sets Reverse Lunges with a core twist (alternate legs so 30 total). For the core twist, as you lower down into lunge position, twist your core and upper body slightly to the right when your right leg is in front and vice versa for left. To make it harder hold a dumbell at your chest.
- CORE: Do mountain climbers (flat back) for 60 seconds.
Circuit 2
- Plie Squats (toes point out slightly): 30 singles + hold squat position (down) and alternate heel raises for 30 reps (15 each leg)
- 15-20 Tricep Pushups. Do them on your knees unless your form is perfect. Hands under shoulders (not wide) and keep elbows by your sides as you lower down.
- CORE: 50 Double Crunches: Hands behind head, knees bent. Crunch knees to elbows and lift both upper and lower body at the same time (hips come off ground) as you crunch into a ball. Release and repeat.
This year, commit to making your (or your child’s) back to school routine more healthy! For many kids and college students – going back to school means you are actually more active than you have been during the summer. You may have to walk a lot on campus, play sports or participate in other activities. Being more active is great, but you need to make sure what you are eating (or feeding your kids) will fuel these activities and not cause weight gain. For starters, try to prepare all the meals yourself. School lunches are getting better and better, but the only way to control what you eat is to make it yourself. In the videos below (featured on CBS), I show some of my favorites for school lunches, snacks and foods to boost brain power. Need some motivation? Check out the cool info graphic below…
Inversions such as Forward Bend (right), Headstand or even Downward Dog are great for energy. Any time your heart is above your head, you will have increased circulation to the brain and get a surge of energy. With breathing, focus more on taking deeper inhales. Look for “inversion” classes, “sun salutation” classes or “vinyasa flow” classes to give you a boost of energy.
