Baby & Me Bootcamp #4

Last week was another hot bootcamp day! Luckily, Baby B and I were able to arrive early and snag a couple tables under the shade for our workout. The light breeze and shade were great during the workout, and the sunshine felt great as we finished with core in the soccer field. 

I borrowed this workout from one I created last September 17 (2013). It is a great full body routine that combines a few different styles.
