Bootcamp


This Thursday I will be organizing an original Angels of Steel bootcamp for my colleagues at work!
After giving several bootcamps last summer, I got asked by a fellow trainee colleague to organise a bootcamp at work. I really enjoy to motivate others in being active and get more out their trainings, so I decided the go for it! 

What is a bootcamp?

A bootcamp is an outdoor training that is inspired by the military training in the US Army. It has been around for over 25 years by now, but has received more attention by the recreational sportsman among us. The last years, it has been a real trend and bootcamp classes are being organized all over the country. 
The goal of a bootcamp is to reach fast results in minimum required time. It requires people to work together and everybody is pushed a little harder. By doing challenging excersizes, you training your full body to get more strengt, conditioning and flexibility. 
It will get you out of you comfort zone! 

Why do a bootcamp?
It will get you in shape fast. By combining cardio (interval) and strength exersizes this training is perfect to improve your condition and to shape your body.
It pushes you to gain better results. When being in the gym, how hard do you really push yourself to really go to your max? In a group with like-minded individuals you tend to push yourself more. And a bonus: if you will not push youself hard enough, there is a big chance your trainer will!
You will build a support group. When you have made up your mind to live a more active lifestyle, get more fit, or loose or gain weight, doing bootcamps can help! You will find yourself connecting with others and share experiences. Sharing your goals with others, commit to them, will help to reach them!
It is outside! Being outside in the fresh air is a nicer area to work-out than in the smelly hot gym! Especially when you have a job that takes place inside the whole day, training outdoors can really be a blast!
It is fun! Dong bootcamp is a lot of fun! Because of the many different kind of excersizes, by yourself or with a bootcamp-partner or the whole group, the training will keep you fired up!

What are your reasons to join a bootcamp?
