Back To Basics Exercising

Women interested in fitness may be considering boot camp training in an effort to get in shape. The truth about this type of training is that it might just give you the best-looking body you’ve ever had. That’s because this back to basics training combines strength training, cardiovascular and agility exercises that train various muscle groups for an effective workout.

Be sure to check with your physician before beginning a boot camp training program or any new exercise regimen. Once you get the okay, select a program that best suits your personality and fitness goals. If something doesn’t seem right for you, check around and find one that does. It’s more important that you like a program and are willing to participate 100%, than to dread going there and then eventually give up. Remember, it’s your time, your body and your money, so make sure it works for you.

Boot camp training exercises combine strength training and cardiovascular exercises in short 30 to 60 second intervals. You may do 30 seconds of jumping jacks followed by as many squats as you can do in the same amount of time, then switching to 60 seconds of jump roping, followed by a set of abdominal crunches. Designed to work a variety of muscle groups, boot camp training can get your body into ultimate shape.

Trying new exercises and workouts is a wonderful way to stay in shape and keep you motivated to stick with your women’s fitness program. I believe in exercising for at least 30 minutes at least six days a week. It’s especially important, as we get older to keep our bodies in tiptop condition. I believe staying healthy is something we owe to ourselves and those that we love.

When asked what exercises I do to stay in shape, I can always answer that I like to combine strength training, cardio and Pilates to my workout. I love boot camps, especially those that are held outside in the fresh air. That is one of the advantages of a boot camp. While there are several that are gym based, many boot camps train outside with plenty of space to run. The outdoors allows for greater creativity, thus keeping the workout highly interesting and loads of fun.

So if you are looking for a way to take your workout to a whole new level, by all means give boot camp training a try. Look around, find a program that works for you and get to work. It won’t be long before you get that beach body that will turn heads this season.
