Fitness bootcamps are “hot” these days! One of its major benefits is the extra motivation due to group dynamics. These types of workouts are becoming very popular and widely encouraged. There are a lot of additional benefits, and at the same time, one has to be careful on the direction some of these classes can take.
No matter how much fun and motivational fitness bootcamps can be, many need to understand some of its dangers. Take for example - the bootcamps held at some of the big fitness gyms; a lot of the time, fitness instructors are overwhelmed by the amount of participants and over look individual needs. Fitness bootcamps are usually an hour long in length, leaving little time to address personal weaknesses and/or pre-existing injuries.
I strongly suggest you find a Certified Personal Trainer who holds proper fitness bootcamps that accommodate limited number of participants. This allows for progressions, improvements and personal touch within a group environment.
You also want to make sure your Certified Personal Trainer conducts a fitness assessment before starting a fitness bootcamp program. This helps set a starting point for each participant, which will provide more information regarding health needs, limitations and exercise modification. The last thing a participant wants is to leave the class with further or new injuries. Fitness can be an art and elite trainers provide precise instruction in order to achieve results and increase health and longevity. Another benefit of a small group class is to ensure proper form is established and maintained.
Another very important aspect is whether or not the teacher is educating the participants. Why pay a lot of money, if all they do is dictate without helping you learn the how’s and why’s to what you are doing? You are there to learn just as much as you are there to workout. The ‘just keep up’ attitude can cause serious harm to someone who is not fully prepared. You need to be fully assessed for any sort of personal injury, review your current goals and motivation to help guide you through your fitness journey.
Fitness Bootcamps are an incredibly fun way to get fit! There are a ton of Camps out there, so choose wisely. Overall, group fitness bootcamps are cost-efficient, great way to meet people, will kick you in the butt and is proven to help get the body you’ve always wanted.
Now the question is - do you have what it takes to transform your body?
