Value of Boot Camps

It is the first month of the New Year and everyone always has resolutions. The all too common resolution is the vow to loose weight by any means necessary. We tend to dust off our old workout clothes (the ones we bought last January when we made the same vow), and head out to our nearest gym with the lowest price or most convenient location. This always feels and sounds good for the first two or three weeks of the month, then we find ourselves surrounded by plenty of excuses to stop making the trip to the gym. Those pesky T.V. premiers, mother in law visits, or late days at work seem to all be in a conspiracy to stop you from releasing the weight you vowed nothing would stop you from doing. If this sounds familiar then you may want to consider the option of outdoor or indoor boot camps our small group personal training classes.

Boot Camps offer support in a healthy environment and is usually conducted by a health and fitness professional. Some boot camps are conducted in gym or sports club settings while others you may find at you local neighborhood park. They vary in duration, length and intensity. Many boot camps are great alternatives to actually gym membership and in many cases are less expensive per workout. Group classes also provide variety versus the mundane running on a treadmill.
Many of are Critical Mass Health Conductors are health and fitness professionals such personal trainers, yoga instructors, Tai Chi gurus, or just exercise enthusiasts that hold camps, classes or groups. If you are interested in getting information on local boot camps or class held by Critical Mass Health Conductors look for information in the next HC Newsletter.
