I am making a boot camp circuit at home gym. I have a treadmill, some dumbbells, resistance bands and a excercise ball. Please give me your recommendations on excercise I can add. One day focused on upper body, one on lower. Two days/week.

    Got a doorway you can add a pullup apparatus too? Jump ropes, rope ladder (lay it on the ground for a different kind of cardio).

    Don't forget sit ups, push ups and burpees!

    TRX. If you’re doing only 2 days is suggest full body both days, unless you’re doing something comparable on non boot days.

    Most of my strength training revolves around dumbbells and the stability ball. You MIGHT consider a cardio step. I use it for side squats and used to use it for push-ups, before I "graduated" to using the floor. Also, just in case you haven't got one, I'd suggest a mat.

    For an aerobic step try thrift stores, or Craig's List first.....you never know. I saw a nice step at Aldi for $9.00 (several months ago). I got my Gold's Gym step from Wal-Mart.com for $27, in store pick up made shipping free.

    I like Jenny Ford step workouts on Youtube.
