Benefits of Fitness Boot Camps

Roger Mack, contributing editor

Have you ever asked yourself what is all the talk about boot-camps? If you have asked yourself this and other questions, here are just a few of the benefits:

1. You Learn How to Push Yourself
Breakfast Boot Camp will help you work harder than you would normally work on your own. Most who work out by themselves rarely push themselves as hard as an exercise professional will, hence optimum potential not being realized. Boot Camps will allow you to build stronger muscles faster, develop better endurance, and accelerate your fitness goals.

2. Quick Results
Boot Camps can help you burn over 1100 calories in a 45-60 minute class. In a well-run class, a variety of activities such as Band Training, Ball Exercises, Dumb-bells, Kettle-bells, Calisthenics, Plyometrics, and Resistance Training are used. This combination of exercises boosts results much quicker than typical exercises and workout classes.

3. Cheaper than a Personal Trainer
Breakfast Boot Camps offer all the benefits of a personal trainer at a fraction of the cost. The savings will allow someone to participate for a longer period of time, ultimately leading to life-long fitness.

4. Support Group
In a Boot Camp, you can’t help but form bonds with those in your group. Those friendships ultimately help you stick to your workout program and add and instant accountability to you and your partners!

5. It Is Fun
The camaraderie, intensity, and all the different exercises make boot camps much more fun than a typical workout program. If you are stuck in the same boring routine day in and day out, monotony could set in and your enthusiasm for working out may fizzle. A fitness Boot Camp will help you get fired up and stay fired up about training.

Breakfast Boot Camp is an all-inclusive fitness and nutrition program that combines a kick-butt exercise program, a delicious breakfast and provides constant motivation. Regardless of your fitness level, our program is designed to get you into the best shape of your life. We will never ask you to do more than you are capable of doing. Whether your goal is to lose 50 pounds or to fit back into your skinny jeans, we are sure you'll find that Breakfast Boot Camp is your meal ticket.

At Breakfast Boot Camp, always expect an adventure. Each workout is intentionally different in order to keep your body guessing, and to keep burning that unwanted fat. You can expect resistance training, light running (although some campers never run due to pre-existing conditions) kettle bells, core training and much more. We'll teach you proper form, emphasizing core strength.

If you are in the Washington, DC area, you may want to consider joining our sessions. Following is additional information: Breakfast Boot Camp is held every Monday-Saturday. We suggest that you attend at least four or five days a week, but you can still achieve incredible results if you attend just three days per week. Our camps run 7 days a week, 52 weeks per year. Breakfast Boot Camp is held at Prospects Sports Training Facility located in the heart of Tysons Corner. The address is: 8500-B Tyco Rd, Vienna, VA 22182.
