Boot camp classes till rule

According to the American College of Exercise, Boot camp-style workouts will remain popular among consumers based on its intensity and efficiency. Small-group workouts also is among the top 10 trends for 2011: “whether through personal training, strength training, cardiovascular exercise, or sessions for older adults, small group sessions will be “in” as a way to socialize, cut costs and stay motivated.”

A fitness boot camp combines calisthenics and body weight exercises with interval training and strength training. There are a variety of styles of boot camps; most are designed in a way that pushes the participants harder than they’d push themselves.

A typical boot camp class would include a warm-up of about 5 to 10 minutes long. A 30 to 40 minute workout with:
• push ups
• plyometric exercises
• interval training
• squats
• lunges
• jumping jacks
• speed training with sprints
• core strength
• obstacle courses
• cool down and stretching

A good boot camp class creates a spirit of teamwork, group support and fun. In order to accomplish this, the leader adjusts the level and content to meet specific goals and limitations. Some boot camp classes offer high levels of difficulty, with people screaming at you, that are dominated by younger people who have different goals and needs than you.

My new Boot camp class: for Nice and Friendly People – offers an alternative choice, for a small group of women interested in: less impact, more inclusive, fun, good workout, camaraderie and support, competent and experienced leadership.
