One exercise phenomenon that had its beginning lately is the fitness boot camp. Motivated by our soldiers preparing 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 welcoming and encouraging, lead by inspirational group exercise instructors.

Boot camp exercise classes vary in design, determined by the organization and instructor. But typically a bootcamper will likely to be given a physical test at the beginning of a camp, to assess fitness level. Then bootcampers will meet outside, oftenin the park, beach, or river promenade, for an hour, usually 2-5 times weekly for 3-4 weeks. Fitness boot camps in fact encompass every one of the important components to truly motivate most 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 do moving work outs for a stretch warm-up followed by interval training which switches back-and-forth between aerobic and muscle exercise. Aerobic workouts are used so you can 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 improvement.

Boot camps are providing participants with physical and mental challenge as well as camaraderie, which are all very appealing and cannot be found in the gym.
