Love The Boot Camp?
We have a fitness, weight loss and health craze sweeping the nation at the moment called bootcamp!
In this post I’m going to tell you why the bootcamp is sweeping the nation like a bush fire. I’m going to talk about the benefits of group participation, the variety of the training, how cost effective it can be and how it is great for getting results in double quick time.
So let’s jump in with;
1. Group Participation
Most people like to be or feel like they are a part of something bigger. This is why we form groups and clubs from the WI to the local football club, there is something for everyone out there. For instance my Mum makes, teaches and participates in lace making groups, in and around the area. Not my bag baby, but I’m told if you can count to 8 you can do it, no problem.
Staying with the group theme, if you have been a gym member or belonged to clubs generally you’ll see the same faces day in and day out. For myself I have run group fitness in gyms and the core of the group can remain the same for years… When I say years, I mean it. I have walked back into gyms that I have not been into for 4 to 8 years, looked into the class and there are the same people in there as there were when I was teach it!
Why are they still there? Friendship, social atmosphere, camaraderie, fun and the pressure that the group exerts on them to attend week after week!
2. Variety
People can be resistant to big change but the love variety in what they are doing. bootcamp offer massive variety in the exercises, the environment and the programme or theme. For example bootcamp change their theme so that you get to experience different types of training. For example you may start with a timed theme like how much fat can you burn in 4 minutes, but after a while this would get a little boring and stagnant, so it’s time to change, possibly co-inside with a sporting event like the Olympics and theme the workout around specific events or event in the way of a physical job such as a fire fighter or army bootcamp.
As you know variety is the spice of life!
3. Cost Effective!
You can work with a personal trainer or a personal training team for a fraction of the normal cost of one on one personal training! Let’s look at prices just for a moment although I don’t want to bore you with too many figures.
The average price of personal training in the area is about £45 per hour. If you where to do one session week it would cost you about £195 per month with no guarantee of results as they are just not seeing you often enough.
You can train at a boot camp 3 times a week which would practically guarantee your results for as little as £149.95 or less! If you go here you can get a 3 week trail for £1 . http://fitbodybootcamp.co.uk. If you trained 3 times per week with that same trainer, it would cost you a mighty £585 per month!
4. Results!
bootcamps are great for getting weight loss and body shape and toning results. This is due to many of the aspects that we have discussed earlier. Working with other around you is well proven to bring out the best in most people as they work to keep up or beat the people around them. The exercises that are used in bootcamp are normally of the high calorie burning type which is ideal for those of you who wish to get to better shape by losing body fat. The exercise used are also more functional, which means they are more suited to movements performed in everday life, such as picking you feet up over hurdles, stepping on to steps, squatting down lifting things above your head etc…. Training like this will help you lift the box of paper at work, pull the wet washing out of the washing machine, more the sofa on a Sunday so that you can Hoover or run upstairs when the lift is full so that you don’t miss that meeting! Due to the cost effective nature of the bootcamp it enables you to train more often which is the clincher for getting results. Regularity of training is critically important!
So join the bootcamp so that you can;
1. Make friends Have Fun
2. Never be bored
3. Cost effective right when we all need it most
4. Results, Results, Results
Committed to your success
