I was talking about fitness boot camps earlier today and what they are and what you would do in one. But let’s explore a few more reasons why you should participate in a boot camp. By the way, there’s a website called Boot Camp Finder that might be helpful if you are looking for a boot camp in your area. You may also want to check out your local fitness clubs to see if they offer a variation on the boot camp theme.
But if you’re still wavering, here are the 10 reasons you should check out a fitness boot camp:
- Accountability works wonders for your workout success, especially with a workout program – boot camps offer instructors that work as a personal trainer in a sense and they have a variety of ways to
motivate you - Group classes offer a great deal of success because there are shared experiences to help motivate you to continue your attendance and stick to the workout program
- Getting outdoors is one of the goals of a boot camp, so you get a whole new perspective on workouts as well as breathing fresh air and getting moving
- Boot camps may seem like a pricey investment, but when you consider the fact that you are working out 5 days a week for at least one hour a session; you’re really not spending as much as you would on an individual personal trainer
- Boot camps at a fitness club do not always require a gym membership, you sign up for the boot camp and you enjoy the benefits
- Depending on when the bootcamp is scheduled for (I know a lot that start at 5 a.m), your workout is done before the day really gets started
- Within 4 to 6 weeks you can transform yourself, losing pounds, dress sizes and much, much more – you also get a whole new sense of self-confidence
- If you’re working out at 5 a.m. every morning, you’re going to eat a very healthy breakfast and vitamins and more – this will just help you on your path and you’re going to want a really hot shower to sluice off the sweat
- You can take your friends with you and really thrill to the workout because misery loves company – well, it might be misery at first, but imagine the time spent together with someone who can share the experience with you
- A boot camp can help you rediscover more about you – because when you’re working out every day, at 5 in the morning, it’s not about your makeup or your hairstyle or your clothes – it’s about you – and I think you’ll find that you love what you discover about yourself and your friends and family will enjoy the same
