Fitness Benefits of Boot Camp Style Workouts

While there are many articles, blogs and information about the benefits of boot camp that one can find on the internet - why would I want to write something that is already available on the web ?

Well, this is because the pages on the internet that you find is probably something that is written by someone in the US, Canada or Europe. However, there are some reputable boot camp operators in Klang Valley and you can find them on the web too. You may want to know what is provided here locally and here you go ....

Cosmic Fit is the only boot camp operator in Klang Valley conducting the sessions in the vicinity of Setia Alam, Shah Alam, Klang and Bkt. Jelutong at the moment. Here, it is about a local operator i.e. Cosmic Fit's boot camp service to you and the benefits of a boot camp program.

Are you a person who does not like to go to the gym and lift weights or you don't like to do that boring long distance jog, run or cycling BUT you want to loose weight, fat and gain a leaner, fitter & healthier body. Boot camp style workouts may be the answer that you seek.

Boot camp exercise sessions are challenging workouts that use simple to complex moves (as the participants progress) to bring about effective results. Typically in a boot camp, a good exercise program should comprise and equally emphasize on aerobic, strength, core and flexibility workouts. The combination of all these workouts is a must to deliver a good programming to the participants.

A study conducted by American Council on Exercise reveals that a 60 minute boot camp session can burn up to 600 calories "American Council on Exercise Article:Drop and Give Me 20". But this very much depends on how hard a participant is willing to push in each exercise. However, as a trainer, we will be there to continuously motivate one to push to their maximum when performing an exercise. But not to worry - we are not drill sergeants. As fitness professionals, we understand our participants well and we know when you have given it your all.

The following picture is a reading from one of our camper after our session yesterday evening 12-12-2012. This is based on our workout session for about 40 minutes (the entire session lasted for 60 minutes including warm up and cool down). As you can see, the participant burnt 600+ calories.

In our camp, we have recorded participants burning up to 900+ calories in one session.

The goal here is to provide a whole body workout that builds strength and endurance. The workouts in each sessions are varied. The interval training exercise comprises of bursts of intensity alternated with intervals of lighter activity. Majority of the workouts are performed by using your own body weight and hence these exercises can be performed anywhere on your own too. Apart from that, campers workout in a group and that creates a sense of camaraderie among the participants.

In our boot camp, difficult combination of exercises are turned into games where the campers mind is shifted from how difficult or challenging the exercises are TO completing the games ... this results in participants completing the strength and cardio workouts in an environment that is full of fun, laughter and finally winded :) 

In here, you grow your aerobic fitness, core & body strength and flexibility ... but most importantly - you grow your mind and your confidence.
