What is Boot Camp?
What exactly is a boot camp workout? Boot camp exercise classes include workouts that mix traditional callisthenic and body weight exercises with interval training and strength training. The workouts are intense exercise sessions that challenge every muscle in your body. By rapidly moving from exercise to exercise with little rest in between, you tone and firm muscles while getting a good cardiovascular workout at the same time. These sessions are known as boot camp workouts because the exercises used are similar to those the military employees to keep recruits in shape. Exactly what are the benefits of boot camp exercise and why should you be doing them?
What are the Benefits Of Boot Camp?
Boot camp Workouts are Great Calorie Burners
Because you’re moving rapidly from exercise to exercise and working upper and lower body at the same time, boot camp exercise burn big calories. You can expect to burn off up to 600 calories per hour during a single boot camp exercise session. This is more calories than you’ll burn with most other types of exercise.
Boot camp Workouts Give an Aerobic and Muscle Toning Workout at the Same Time
If you have limited time to exercise, a boot camp workout is one of the most efficient programs around. It allows you to get aerobic and strength training done in a single workout which means you’ll spend less time exercising. Despite working out less, you’ll still burn a substantial number of calories due to the intensity of the workout.
Boot camp Workouts Alleviate Boredom
Yes, a boot camp exercise routine is challenging, but never boring. Time goes by quickly when you’re engaged in so many types of exercises. Time can drag when you’re walking on a treadmill, but with a boot camp workout, you’ll be surprised to look up and see the session is almost over.
Boot camp Workouts Build Confidence
There’s nothing more exhilarating than successfully completing a boot camp workout. You’re tired and sweaty, yet strangely energized. Each workout builds confidence in your physical ability which can carry over to all aspects of your life.
Quicker Results
You’ll see results quicker! When you take a Boot Camp, whether it’s 2 or 5 times a week, the intensity level is higher and the workouts will create needed muscle confusion. That combination, matched with proper nutrition, will allow you to see your body shape change at a quicker rate. So whether it’s a lower number on the scale or less inches when measuring, a Boot Camp will generate quicker results.>
Inexpensive
Because a fitness boot camp consists of a fairly small group of people, the fees are more reasonable than if you were to work one-on-one with a personal trainer. You still get all the same benefits as if you had a personal trainer but the costs are much lower because there is an entire group or class associated with a fitness boot camp.
Group Support
When a group of people are going through something together, a bond is always formed because you can all relate with each other. You will have each person in the fitness boot camp going through the same thing that you are. This is a huge support system that will help you with working towards your fitness goals because you're more likely to stick with the program.
