When you think of bootcamp<\/a> exercises, you tend to think about the high-intensity, military-style training. This can scare anyone off. However, there are a series of bootcamp exercises you can do to create a low-impact workout.<\/p>\n

Low-impact bootcamp workouts usually combine cardio<\/a> with strength training in a way that doesn\u2019t place too much stress on your joints.<\/p>\n

Here are a number of examples of exercises which you can find in a low-impact bootcamp workout:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Alternating Knee Tuck Plank<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Alternating Knee Tuck Plank works your shoulders, back, legs, glutes, core and obliques.<\/p>\n

Beginning in a plank position and with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, engage your core, glutes and quads and keep your elbows under your shoulders.<\/p>\n

Lift your right leg while bending at the knee. Rotate your core in order to drive your knee in towards your left elbow.<\/p>\n

Bring the knee back and return to the starting position.<\/p>\n

Do the same with your left knee and keep alternating for about 45 seconds.<\/p>\n

Jogging in Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Standing up straight, place your feet hip-width apart and jog in place. Engage your core and pump your arms as you move.<\/p>\n

You can make it even more low-impact by simply marching in place.<\/p>\n

Do this for about 45 seconds.<\/p>\n

Back Flye<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Back Flye helps to improve your posture by pulling your shoulders back, lifting your chest and working on the upper back muscles.<\/p>\n

Standing with your feet hip-width apart. Enure that your knees are bent slightly. Grab a lightweight in each hand and bend your elbows to 90 degrees. Hinge forward at your hips while, at the same time, keeping your back flat.<\/p>\n

Lift your arms up as well as out to your sides while keeping your elbows slightly bent. Squeeze your shoulder blades together.<\/p>\n

Slowly lower your back down to where you started and repeat.<\/p>\n

Do this for about 45 seconds.<\/p>\n
