4th of July “Firecracker” Workout

Happy 4th Weekend!

We’ve done this fun workout a few times at Bombshell Bootcamp and I thought I would share it with you guys. One of our favorites is the “Firecracker Workout” which combines explosive cardio movements with push/pull exercises for sculpting and toning. Try this workout below this holiday weekend to blast some extra fat and calories and keep you looking toned and tight for summer : )

Repeat Each Circuit 2-3 times or you can go all the way through each of the 4 and repeat the entire set 2-3 times. You’ll need a set of medium dumbbells.

Warmup: 5-10 minutes (jumping jacks, run, high knees, etc)
