Benefits of Bootcamp

Bootcamp is a unique and energizing workout. If you haven’t tried a bootcamp or you are unsure about what the bootcamp involves, let me clarify some positive impacts it can provide you.
First of all, bootcamp workouts are meant to be HIIT (high-intensity interval training) style of workout. This means you work for an interval of time with short rest periods to increase heart rate and metabolism. Basically, it can maximize fitness gains in the shortest period of time.
Next, it incorporates functional training, which can prepare your body for more real-world activities. Instead of using heavy barbells and benches, it uses bodyweight and minimal equipment to achieve those fitness gains.
Another positive point of bootcamp is that the exercises can be modified to your fitness goals and adjusted for age groups. It doesn’t matter if it is your first time at bootcamp or if you are an exercise champion, the bootcamps meet all fitness levels.
Bootcamps are an amazing way to workout with the support and social engagement provided by the people around you. Everyone at the bootcamp has a similar goal and a desire to be part of this experience. Participants encourage each other to hit their fullest potential and reward each other with high fives to keep the energy flowing. Everyone knows if you don’t give your high fives you have to substitute with the burpees…just kidding 😉
Bootcamps are well known for the “afterburn” which means you are burning calories after your workout ends. Since your heart rate was higher during the workout, your metabolism increases and allows you to continue burning calories throughout the day.
