SparkPeople Swimsuit Bootcamp - Day 5 Workout

[LilBiie]

i only started doing this yesterday and i can't wait to see results like the people in the comments! I find that doing only one though doesn't tire me out, so i've done 4 today and i'll do the rest the next day, for a month.

[sparklelilz]

argh. may have grabbed my leg a little too hard on those last stretches... ouch.

[QueenLeilani]

i made a goal for myself to workout everyday for 30 days. I've been doing your 10 minute videos everyday before going to sleep...eating regulary everyday and drinking only water. I'm on day 15 of my 30 day challenge and i've already lost 12 pounds. It wasn't even hard at all and since I don't really have access to the gym, this works out perfect for me. =) thank you... =)

[edwardcullenluver128]

im 11 turning 12 and if i do the whole entire bootcamp workouts for the summer and try to eat right do you know how much pounds i would lose and will i see resluts everyday by one workout if your just a kid

[Majush1]

How does this workout/what exercises in it work the inner thighs?

[imajazzbandnerd]

whenever i stretch my right leg (such as with the stretches at the end) my hip flexor hurts too much for me to stretch it, but the left one is fine. is this just because i need to stretch it more often?

[sparkpeople]

@imajazzbandnerd It's common to have different levels of tightness or flexibility on each side of the body, but yah, you should try to balance them out. Don't stretch to the point of pain!

[Imaginator10]

is it okay to do all 5 workouts everyday?

[sparkpeople]

It's OK to do more than one of these in a day, but if you do, you'll need to rest from these workouts the next day.

[Majush1]

I do 4-5 workouts per day, and i wrote a comment on day 1 and 2 that I lost 50lb with this workouts and ofcourse eating right!

[ScarletFyre3]

should we have a day of rest somewhere in between these workouts or should we rest on day 8?

[sparkpeople]

It's a month-long workout plan where you exercise daily for 4 weeks. It's designed so that you work different muscles each day so rest for those specific muscles is built in.

[lovetocheer871]

that felt good

[Solita7777]

i use these exercises but i also do my regular workout inbetween days i do these quick workouts, dnt forget to walk atleast 30 mins a day also i m going to invest in a treadmill because i just dnt have time to get my walking in. Talk about single mom with 2 kids work and school. Also just eating a salad instead of your regular sides with dinners makes a huge difference and dnt forget to drink lots of water! Good luck everyone

I'm doing a combination of this Swimsuit Bootcamp 7-day workouts and the New You bootcamp 7-day workout, then I do 30-60 minutes of cardio and I'm seeing results. I like the small, manageable workouts here

[aashka207]

i sweated all over after finishing the first 4 i had 2 wait for almost half an hour to not feel stinky

[every1luvseve]

well i have 4 days till i go on vacation. i'm really screwed.

[mekkabon]

why did you wait until the last minute?

[councilchav]

can men do this also

[MimiWent]

Of course they can.

[gb1015]

Ive been doing it for 3 days and im seeing/ Feeling Results..

[misterphers]

I do 4 of the 7 days every day and I've seen great results. Doing just one day at a time isn't enough of a work out.

[kaymaco]

Ahhhhh my thighs!!

[kellyn111]

i understand you do it for 7days a week, but how many weeks do you do it for (for it to show effects) ???????

[CaptainJenna7]

it takes about a month or 6 weeks for the effects to become noticeable, but in order to keep that body u need to stay consistent in working out

[frostedxcoconut]

It depends on how much you do it and how much body fat is already on you to get outward results. I do three sparkpeople workouts for my legs alone 5 days a week and I saw results within a week to two weeks.

[xxqueenofthedamnedxx]

thanks for uploading all this videos

[PurplestGrapefruit]

Oh no, I'll have day 5-worth of flab because this has been removed from the 7-day workout!! :L

[bluetears28]

Great lower body workout! I really felt the burn in my thighs.

[G6waGirl]

do i have to do the videos in order?

[mistydk]

nice video thx 4 the sweat!

[berng720]

Wow, I just did videos 1-5 & what a great workout!! This is such a great motivator!! Thinking of making this part of my daily routine for a week to "spark" things up a bit! enjoy

[amg11020]

oh my gosh me to well actually i skipped the one with the weight because i didnt have any but i did 30 minutes so some calories were burned =D haha

[TheHuongryHippo]

u can use soup cans instead of weights too

[Shikyou]

yea collecting all kidns of youtube exercise vids and doin em every day... so far i lost one size i gotto keep goin! cant quit now!

[andreeadulama]

it is great!I did it after the other workout from day 4-it is absolutely gorgeous!I can fel the burn!

[queenyj]

I too am having trouble breathing as Nichole says. Exhaling usually helps preform, so it's worth trying to keep it up.

[KyrinaSpellweaver]

It can make a difference. I know Pilates things really highlight the importance of breathing properly. I also had a core fitness class where I was told that the shape of my ab muscles would depend on if I were breathing in or out when doing crunches.

It's certainly worth trying to do correctly but I wouldn't stress over it too much. I would consider it something for me to work on.

[yumalicous]

Woot! I'm excited that I made it this far without stopping! Yay!

[lemonlime27]

good question!

Let her directions guide you and remember to not -hold- your breath..

Breathing is exhale and inhale and it is said that since the body has to work to INhale but relax to EXhale that you time that with your moves, crunching up or curling your bicep is where you are working, so you want to breathe OUT and EXhale but when you are releasing your crunch is when your body gets to relax so it's the perfect chance to do the opposite with working your breath to INhale.

[shimmerchk]

Oh my GOSH! I am so glad I did this AFTER my run or I am afraid I would not have been able to make it through my 3 miles. AWESOME, I can feel the burn!

[iL0veHaydenC]

i have a question, if we do not breathe correctly, does it affect the exercise?? cause i'm having a problem where i breathe the Opposite of what she says... ( when she says to exhale, i inhale :X) it's a bit hard to fully control my breathing... :X
