Fitness Boot Camps are sweeping the US
One exercise sensation that had its birth in recent years is the fitness boot camp. Inspired by our soldiers preparing before going off to fight, boot camp exercise programs for civilians are poping up all around the country. Some of these boot camps are militaristic, lead by drill sergeants in fatigues shouting orders, while other camps are more pleasant and encouraging, lead by inspirational group exercise instructors.
Boot camp exercise classes vary in technique, determined by the provider and teacher. But typically a bootcamper will be given a physical test in the beginning of a camp, to assess level of fitness. Then bootcampers will meet outside, typicallyheld at a park, beach, or river promenade, for an hour, usually 2-5 times per week for 3-4 weeks. Fitness boot camps in fact encompass all the required components to truly encourage most people. Typically there will always be different fitness levels in the class, so bootcampers dont feel alone nor left behind, yet feel inspired to improve by being among the bootcampers that are more in shape than themselves.
During the boot camp, attendees can get to undertake moving workout routines for a stretch warm-up followed by interval training which switches back-and-forth between aerobic and muscle workouts. Cardio exercises are used to get the heart rate up and include movement exercises such as running, walking lunges, step-ups on benches, sit-ups, mountain climbers, etc. Strength training will include push-ups, triceps dips, holding core position, etc. At the end of the 3-4 weeks, the bootcamper is given another physical test to assess fitness progress.
Boot camps are furnishing participants with physical and mental challenge as well as camaraderie, which are all very attractive and cannot be found in the gym.
