People have a preconception about doing a bootcamp.
Some angry instructor screaming numbers at you: 'One, two, three, four...
' that's how bootcamp workouts usually go.
People get tired of the lack of atmosphere and ordinary workouts that they have to go through in traditional bootcamps to lose weight or to strengthen their bodies and muscles.
Some fitness bootcamps overdo it, just as soldiers do, but that's not how it should be.
In fact, a bootcamp should be arranged in such a way that we make it much more like a personal training session.
In the current economic climate people are finding boot camps as a good way to do their workout and as an alternative to personal training.
Bootcamp workouts should involve your whole body, from head to toe, and this is done with minimal rest periods which creates a cardiovascular and fat burning effect.
Even the way the strength training exercises are arranged should make sure you are burning fat and toning your muscles all at the same time.
Exercises should include calisthenics such as push-ups, and jumping jacks but also dynamic exercises such as walking lunges and some shuttle runs.
It should be very different from a traditional bootcamp, in which the instructor would only have you running around in circles and doing sit-ups, because of the intensity of the workout.
The best thing about a fitness bootcamp is that you should be able to train at your own level.
All of the exercises should be modified for people at different levels of fitness, therefore everyone gets a full workout and nobody is left behind.
Sadly most bootcamp instructors don't do this.
Here are a few reasons why many people choose to do a bootcamp workout compared to other workouts: - the location - it helps your body burn lots of unwanted calories - fun - efficient - challenging - easily fits your busy schedule So how should we start our bootcamp workout? First, there should be a range of equipment and exercise bands to use in your warm up.
Exercise bands are a great tool if used properly for warming up the joints and muscles.
The next series of exercises in the bootcamp should be performed to raise the heart rate a little and get a sweat going.
Start with thirty seconds per exercise and they are not very intense at the start so that you get warmed up properly.
Increasing intensity little by little as the rounds go on, modifying the exercise if needs be.
Then after a range of bodyweight exercise, shuttle runs and one or two fun activities like tug-o-war, the session should be wrapped up with a cool down which mimics the warm up.
This helps to reduce muscle soreness.
It is best to consult first an expert when starting an exercise plan and fitness bootcamp workouts should be designed by qualified people.
