Ranked #22,673 in Healthy Living, #329,177 overall

Fitness Bootcamp Workouts are by far the most effective sets of exercises and tasks to get rid of fat fast and to build fitness with their intensity. Exactly how a fitness bootcamp might achieve that is by using three of exercise types in various camp workouts.

Interval Training

Or How To Get Jelly Legs Fast!

Interval training is very simple. Fitness bootcamp workouts involving this method will consist of burst of high intensity exercise followed by allowing short periods of lower intensity exercises or in fact a rest. The rest between intense exercises should not exceed 30-45 seconds to avoid excessive build up of lactic acid.

Interval training is great for building up and increasing your aerobic capacity, which will generally aid your stamina. This is because it also enhances your cardiovascular capabilities. It also burns those calories fast so is very effective.

Circuit Training

Pushing Your Boundaries

Circuit Training Fitness Bootcamp

Circuit training usually forms an essential part of any fitness bootcamp workouts.

As the name implies it involves going through a 'circuit' or series of exercises, which is repeated several times. Sometimes there are rest places in between circuits for short periods. Each exercise is performed at the same place at a 'station'.

Circuit training is one of the best fitness bootcamp exercises, building up muscular endurance (stamina) and strength of your body or for working on a local set of muscles. Circuits usually have elements of resistance or very aerobically intense stations. The impressive thing about this training is the variety you get from performing with weight equipment, elastic resistance machines or even just running a route with exercises being called by the trainer at random points.

One of the best things about circuit training is that it is commonly performed in pairs. This bonds participants, gets a competitive element going and also encourages students to push each others boundaries and determination.

Plyometric Training

Fast, Faster, Fastest

When used as part of fitness bootcamp workouts, plyometric training is a fast effective developer of explosive power and speed in your muscles and really electrifies the responses of your nervous system. It is commonly used by football teams especially for the linemen who have to react instantly with maximum explosive thrust to legs and arms. It is also beneficial to throwing, hitting and jumping sports and activities.

What happens in the exercises is that the muscles targeted are loaded up and then they are used or contracted as rapidly as possible. This has also been shown to help reduce injuries. Plyometric exercises also train the nervous system to recognize muscular contraction patterns and to respond quicker.

In Conclusion

Not every camp class will employ each of the 3 key exercise routines. Some specialty camps, such as sport training, will use one much more than others. Yet, these 3 general exercise programs are the core routines commonly found throughout all bootcamps.
