What Are Boot Camps?

When I was asked the question what do I feel will be the next big thing within the fitness industry in 2008, I said that boot camps would be massive. The individual who asked me looked at me as if I had something wrong with me.

What many people don’t understand is that you can achieve so much more from boot camps. People believe that to get fit, strong, and powerful and to get a trim body that you see on TV by your favorite movie star you have to sweat on the gym floor, well there is some truth in this but you can achieve this away from the gym as well and attaining many more benefits.

Many people lose interest in the gym as they get bored, don’t see continued results as they remain in their comfort zone and don’t continue challenging their bodies because they go on their own. With boot camps and group exercise classes you will always be taken out of your comfort zone to keep challenging your body to reach set goals by the instructor. No session will be the same, so boredom is not a question and your exercising in the great outdoors with fresh air.

Boot camps are a recent phenomenon which has travelled over from the U.S. A boot camp is similar to group exercise classes but carried out outside most are based on different aspects of fitness and team play not just following the same routine your do in group exercise classes. Boot camps work lots of different parts of your fitness; these include cardio fitness, weight management, strength, power, co-ordination and flexibility to name a few.

This is what you will get from training in a boot camp? Motivation from your trainers and from your camp mates. Meet new friends and enjoy the camaraderie of a team atmosphere. The smile on your face when you complete exercises and tasks you never dreamed you would be able to do. Team work and people skills. Training with nature. Loss of inches around your whole body! Nutrition advice, including what to eat before and after training and how to include lose those al important. By signing up to a boot camp you will notice better well being, more energy. The improvements are endless.

Boot camp exercises involve bodyweight movements and basic exercises, some even use the natural outdoors to exercise with exercises like picking up logs? The point I am trying to make is usually their is no flash gym equipment.
