About This Workout
Short on time but want to get in a good sweat session? Follow along with Coach Nicole as she takes you through a fast and effective routine that combines cardio and strength training into one short, effective workout. This workout is an excerpt from SparkPeople's best-selling workout DVD "28 Day Boot Camp," available for purchase at retail chains nationwide and online.
  • Length: 18 minutes
  • Equipment: Dumbbells and a mat (for cushioning)
  • Type of Workout: Cardio (aerobic) and full-body strength training (toning)
  • Fitness Level: Beginner to advanced
  • Impact: Medium Impact

  • Love this video, still not up to advanced, but intend to get there eventually. I love how you can go at your own pace - no pressure! - 5/23/2013 5:42:30 PM
  • Liked this workout, wish there was a cool down period. - 5/23/2013 8:24:22 AM
  • Short and sweet! Hard enough that it makes me feel like I "did" something, but short enough to get dinner on the table. :) - 5/22/2013 4:28:29 PM
  • Love this workout but I wish the sound would have been louder. I had both my computer and the player's volume up to max and I could still barely hear her. I had to exercise with my fan off because of this and now I feel like I got way too hot. Ugh. - 5/9/2013 9:00:05 PM
  • I'm going to start this for my 28 day challenge!

  • needs to restart the 28-day vidio - 4/26/2013 10:03:51 PM
  • I liked this workout. Just enough to make me feel it and break a sweat. - 4/22/2013 12:05:07 PM
  • So many terrific things about this video, especially the modifications.
    It will take me some time to figure out the appropriate weight to use - some muscle groups are stronger than others. Wondering if other parts of the full DVD include more triceps work? - 4/11/2013 10:38:03 AM
  • I think the first 12 minutes of this would be adaptable to a water aerobic workout. - 4/11/2013 7:43:40 AM
  • this was harder but i doing my best. - 4/2/2013 12:12:56 PM
  • Good video, especially for lunchtime, as long as I don't work up too much of a sweat! ;-) I like the first part with the walking -- I will have to check to see if Nicole has any walking DVD's! I can't believe I haven't checked that out before! - 3/27/2013 11:26:48 AM
  • This was a great starter workout, I got a great sweat even if a lot of the moves were really uncoordinated. :) Though I did feel like I got left hanging without there being a cool-down included. - 3/20/2013 11:25:13 AM
  • Really love this workout and especially love that they show modifications (both for beginners and for advanced exercisers)! I am seriously considering buying the DVD, but for now I am just going to press play and get my sweat on! - 3/13/2013 2:34:50 PM
  • It's been a long time since I worked out and this was my first time trying it again. This video certainly makes you sweat! Can't wait to do it again tomorrow! - 3/10/2013 7:43:25 PM
  • One of the more challenging SP videos. It got my heart rate up, but wasn't a killer. - 3/8/2013 10:36:24 AM
