What is Fitness Boot Camp?

• One of the best things to happen to exercise in
  the last decade has been the emergence of
  different programs which cater to all groups of
  people. While some of these exercise forms have
  been around for thousands of years, bringing them
  to the forefront of mainstream exercise has
  allowed people who wouldnt ordinarily be
  interested in exercise to get excited about
  getting up and moving around. Programs such as
  Zumba have infiltrated generic offerings with a
  little something extra.

• Unique yoga classes, exciting kickboxing
  programs, and even boot camp style courses have
  all made their way into our everyday fitness
  culture. Boot camp classes have steadily
  increased in popularity over the last few years
  with good reason. These classes are designed to
  push people towards fitness goals they never
  thought were possible. If youre interested in
  learning more about what fitness boot camp is
  then here are some basics to remember.

• What is a boot camp workout?

• Styled after classic military boot camp, these
  programs are all about testing your strength and
  building your endurance. Unlike traditional
  classes which are fairly uniform in what areas of
  fitness they cover, signing yourself up for a
  boot camp class is like nothing you have ever
  experienced before. If youre looking for a class
  thats determined to give you a full-body burn
  then boot camp is the right place for you. Be
  prepared to sweat, stretch, challenge your
  muscles, and get your cardio on. These
  high-intensity classes are ideal if youre
  looking to push the boundaries of your everyday
  fitness routine.

• What should you expect?

• Every class varies when it comes to the finer
  points but there are a few things that you can
  count on more than likely filling the class time.
  If your class has machines and gear then these
  will more than likely see use during boot camp.
  It could be hitting the rowing machine, working
  hard on a cycle, hopping on a stair stepper, or
  even breaking a sweat on a treadmill.

• Off the machine, you can expect some intense
  circuits to come your way. Prepare for burpees,
  lunges and presses, squat jacks, jump squats,
  crunches, pull-ups, and even sprints. Your class
  might focus on calisthenics or military-style
  drills to get your heart pumping. Whichever style
  your class focuses on you can be sure of one
  thing youll want to bring a towel.

• Why take a boot camp class?

11

• While it might be difficult to recognize the
  benefits of a boot camp class right after the
  class finishes, rest assured, the rewards are
  overwhelmingly worth it. Aside from the fantastic
  workout with hundreds of calories burned, the
  benefits of a boot camp class go beyond the realm
  of just weight loss. Classes are designed to give
  participants a completely new type of program
  which brings a new and exciting twist with every
  class. No two classes will ever be the same which
  gives you a fresh program to look forward to.

12

• Another huge benefit to taking a boot camp class
  is the sense of camaraderie youll experience
  during the drive. Your fellow classmates will
  push you towards not giving in even in the
  toughest stretches. Likewise, youll find
  yourself being a cheerleader for anyone stumbling
  to make it through. The social aspect of each
  class can deepen your experience and leave you
  with a well-rounded routine that goes beyond just
  the physical.
