...that got me thinking. We have had a lot of different results with people in our Boot Camp Many walks of life and fitness levels do our Boot Camps and they all made great headways in their fitness.
Some may start with a pretty negative opinion about Boot Camps in general, but after doing a couple of sessions they change their mind completely.
Often peopls first reaction to the word “BootCamp” is to flinch. We don’t run a military operation and you will never get a “DROP AND GIVE ME 100 PUSHUPS....”
One of our clients said ....
”I was a dedicated gym bunny, intent on pumping
that gym iron. I used to think Bootcamps
aren’t a real workout…they’re what wimps do when
they say they are working out. Boy was I wrong!!!!”
C.K
Question . Is there a real value in a great Bootcamp workout
Answer . YES there most definitely is! As it keeps your body guessing and helps to avoid the boredom in your workout. You don’t have to think about the workout but you’re going to feel it, that’s for sure.
We have a lot of New Mum’s that have had to find ways to incorporate quick, effective workouts in their ultra busy days.
Although we do have guys in our Bootcamps as well, we usually have a much bigger attendance from Women from a variety fitness levels and backgrouns joining each new session. They all wanting to find a fun way to get back into shape.
If you’re a woman you will probably already know that the number one goal for us ladies who exercise is to shrink their lower body. Of course we often just say we want to lose weight, but what we really mean is we want a smaller, tighter butt and toned hips and thighs and flatter belly! (that’s me for sure anyway).
Boot Camp style workouts are often lower body focused and a great choice for ladies who are looking to firm and condition that area.
High intensity and challenging, it ticks all the boxes - not only for convenience and variety, but for sculpting long, lean, conditioned legs.
Your legs are your biggest muscle group and when you train your legs with variations of compound exercise such as squats, lunges and sprints (and all their variations), you’re going to burn a LOT of calories and fat. But the benefits don’t end when you finish your workout.
You’ll still be burning calories and fat long after your workout is finished…Booyah!!!
Scientists have discovered a training phenomenon called Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (also known as EPOC).
In layman's terms this simply means the amount of calories used after a session of exercising or in even simpler terms, the amount of energy the body needs to normalize after a workout.
Researchers have discovered that EPOC can increase calorie burn up to 48 hours AFTER your workout. I’ll be honest: I really like the idea of knowing that I’m still burning fat from yesterday’s workout when I sit my butt down on the lounge at night!
So, here’s the big takeaway lesson for today.
If you’ve been doing the same sort of training for a while, it may be time to switch it up a notch. A month or two of well-designed Boot Camp workouts might just be what your stubborn lower body is crying out for.
So why not give it a go, Our next Boot Camp starts February 6th, 7.30pm Mondays and Wednesday’s, for 8 weeks and is only $200.00. – I look forward to seeing you there.
