Last week’s Shape-up for Summer Bounce-Camp (part 1) was such a success, I thought I would share the exercises with you.
Noticeable results such as a firmer and flatter stomach, toned thighs and reduced bingo wings as well as lean muscle gains and fat reductions were reported over the 5-day ultimate course.
Technique:
- Elbows point back
- Lower down with weight back
- Push up using arms not hips
Extend legs further for an ultimate workout
Squat with arabesque

- Come up and on to 1 leg
- Lift leg up behind and lower chest down
- Hold for 2 seconds and go back to squat
Do single leg squats for an ultimate workout

Leg extension core exercise
Technique:

Straighten and lower the bent leg down towards the ground for an ultimate workout
These exercises can all be performed at home and without the use of any other equipment – just general items such as a chair and tins of beans can be used. The next bounce-camp will be taking place at The Charnwood Golf Range starting 27th June – 1st July 6.30am – 7.30am. If you can’t make the group Bounce-Camp why not book your very own personalised bounce-camp in the comfort of your own home… Prices start from just £60 for the week.
