BOOT CAMP TRIFECTA: WORKOUT AT-A-GLANCE
Trifecta Template
It doesn’t get any easier than this. Three exercises are selected for each set or set/combo. The exercises are selected so that different muscles groups get targeted in each set/combo. Each of the 3 exercises is performed 3 times for 20 seconds each for a total of 3 minutes per set/combo. In the video, 11 sets are performed, along with a warm-up and cool down for a total class time of 48 minutes.
Progressions
In the video, Danita mixes up the set/combos, teaching some with progressions and some with pure movement. Since each exercise is taught 3 times, the format provides an opportunity to progress the exercise and make it more intense or intricate each time the move is taught. Not all of the sets/combos feature progressions. In some, the exercises are performed pure all 3 sets with no progressions or changes offered.
Equipment
The only equipment used in this workout is the resistance of the water. However, webbed gloves could be worn to increase the water’s resistance.
