One exercise phenomenon that had its start lately is the fitness boot camp. Motivated by our soldiers preparation before going off to fight, boot camp exercise programs for civilians are poping up all over the country. Some of these boot camps are militaristic, lead by drill sergeants in fatigues shouting orders, while other camps tend to be helpful and motivating, lead by inspirational group exercise instructors.
Boot camp exercise classes vary in choice, subject to 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, frequentlyheld at a park, beach, or river promenade, for an hour, usually 2-5 times each week for 3-4 weeks. Fitness boot camps in reality encompass every one of the required components to truly stimulate 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 with the bootcampers who are more fit than themselves.
Throughout the boot camp, attendees can get to undertake moving exercises for a stretch warm-up followed by interval training which switches back-and-forth between cardio and muscle workouts. Cardiovascular workouts are used to get the heart rate up and include movement training 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 advancement.
Boot camps are allowing participants with physical and mental challenge as well as camaraderie, which are all very appealing and cannot be found in the gym.
