One exercise phenomenon that had its beginning recently is the fitness boot camp. Inspired by our soldiers planning before going off to fight, boot camp exercise programs for civilians are poping up all around the country. Some boot camps are militaristic, lead by drill sergeants in fatigues shouting orders, while other camps are more helpful and motivating, lead by inspirational group exercise instructors.
Boot camp exercise classes vary in choice, depending on the organization and instructor. But typically a bootcamper will likely to be given a physical test from the beginning of a camp, to assess fitness level. Then bootcampers will meet outside, frequentlyheld at a park, beach, or river promenade, for an hour, usually 2-5 times per week for 3-4 weeks. Fitness boot camps absolutely encompass lots of essential elements to truly motivate 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 amongst the bootcampers that are more in shape than themselves.
During the boot camp, attendees can get to do moving workout routines for a stretch warm-up followed by interval training which switches back-and-forth between aerobic and muscle training. Aerobic workouts are used so you can 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 measure fitness progress.
Boot camps are offering participants with physical and mental challenge as well as camaraderie, which are all very appealing and cannot be found in the gym.
