Boot-Camp-Owners Guide to Pulling Workouts
I heard for an hour the boot camp workouts can burn 600-800 calories depending on your weight.
boot camp style.
For the last 2 weeks I’ve been in a 5:30 am boot camp workout. I do pretty well, then come home and sleep for hours. I am making up for the lack of sleep (I’m getting my 8 hours), but I feel more exhausted during the day than ever before. I expected to feel stronger and have more energy. Seems the opposite is true. Will this feeling eventually go away?
Don’t listen to Gladioli, it’s well known there is only ONE expert on this (and every other subject!) – ME!
So here it is. Listen and listen good…
You come over here and I will put you through your paces in the most enjoyable exercise program you’ve evaar experienced! This will be a daily program with no let up and no time off. Don’t be too dismayed as the good thing is that you don’t even have to leave bed to implement it! How great is that?! What’s more, as soon as you’re done, you can go right to sleep without feeling a pang of guilt!
Oh, and before you ask, you don’t have to provide any equipment. I’ll make sure I bring you the only tool you’ll need!
lol
Kiss kiss and night night my divine li’le one! xx
The treadmill would be about $150 and the boot camp class would be $75 a month. I’m considering the class because I took it at school for a semester and loved it! But I’m also considering a treadmill because I could run on my own time and more often if I’d like to. Opinions? Thanks!
Run outside. It’s easy to get bored and demotivated running in place for so long by using a treadmill. Go places, and let your feet take you there.
this ties in with my first question. my one cousin is leaving in a few weeks for basic and i have another younger cousin that’s probably going to join but he wants to workout some before he goes. what can he do so the workouts won’t be such a shock when he gets there? cardio/weights etc.(he’s too lazy to get on his comp and ask so i have to, so maybe he needs to workout lol)
i know this is kind of miscategorized but i like the fact that i get answers from people who are/were in the military vs. the fitness people in that category.
The biggest thing you can do to prep for basic training is getting your cardio up, 99% of trainees are smoked by the running. Also, core strength (or rather, the lack thereoof) is a huge issue. Core strength is key for individual movement techniques, hauling a rucksack, etc., etc.
The cardio training is pretty straightforward, I would recommend 30-45 minutes of cardio every other day at a minimum. Preferrably running outdoors if at all possible.
For the core, pilates works or the conditioning drills (CD1, CD2, CD3).

This is the fitness training manual for AIT that includes the exercises for the conditioning drills, have someone make sure that they are executing them precisely:
http://rotc.panam.edu/MS%20III%20Info/TRADOC%20Standardized%20PT%20Guide%20for%20AIT%20Cohorted.pdf
They can also look to the APFT standards for push ups, sit ups and the 2-mile run to get a gauge. BUT please, please, please, tell them not to train for the minimum standards. Someone who is hitting 50 percent on the APFT (or even 60 percent for that matter) will be miserable in BCT.
The classes always change, but usually a lot of jogging, push-ups, bear crawls, dive bombers, burpees, jumping jacks, sprinting, high knees, swimmers, walking lunges, squat jumps, ab crunches etc. Sometimes with light-medium weights.

Yes but don’t od on meat. Males don’t need anymore than 57 grams of protein a day which is about 8oz of meat. Most people think that the more protein you eat means the bigger muscles you will have. That is not true at all. Excessive protein will make you fat just like excess sugar, carbs and even healthy oils will. Just eat about 2 oz of chicken with some broccoli(this has protein too and it also has vitamins you need) and a cup of green tea(from a teabag, not already made) with a teaspoon of honey). You can also eat a serving of peanuts with a banana or a can of tuna. If it’s two servings then it’s usually 26 grams of protein.
well i mean i want to lose weight and i taught working out as they do in boot camp would give me the best and fastest results.
so i want to sign up for a boot camp workout without going to the army.
does anyone know where i would be able to do something like this?
and I’m not looking for a video type thing i want the real thing or it will not work out.
thank you so much for anyone that helps! i live Los Angeles, California if that helps!!
i would do something like that to i would love to go to a boot camp for quitting smoking and getting in shape as long as they were nice there and actually didn’t yell or force me to do anything …wait maybe boot camp would not be my cup of tea a Happy Camp that sounds better
should i start running or maybe a spinning class or something to get me a little more in shape before i start boot camp? or do they cater to all levels or fitness?
Any good boot camp program should have “modifiers” included that allow ppl of different fitness levels to get something out of the time spent. A good trainer leading one will want to help challenge, but not hurt anyone who takes the boot camp.
However, not all trainers are so thoughtful or conscious that not everyone is of the same fitness level.
For a good example of this philosophy, check out trainers like Tony Horton, Brett Hoebel, and Billy Blanks. In all of their DVD programs they offer differing examples of how a particular exercise can be performed depending on your fitness level.
My suggestion…. Look in on the current program at your gym. See if the trainer is offering “modifying” movements to accommodate differing fitness levels. If so, it’s probably a program you could try. But if the trainer seems to be demanding the same performance level (same number of reps and same intensity) from an overweight woman with bad knees as he is the young, fit gymrat who can easily do the exercise, then maybe you should look to a different program.
And if you do enroll in a boot camp…. Take a catch phrase from Tony Horton to heart. “Do your best and forget the rest.”
Hope that helps. Be well.
I want a challenge!
What are some Boot Camp workouts I could do at home?
You can design your own bootcamp workout.

3.pushups-25
4.sprint 50 yards
5.crunches-25

Do these exercises one right after the other-that is one circuit-do at least 3 circuits.

Plan your workouts around fitness goals such as excellence in a sport or occupation, strength, endurance, flexibility, systemic fitness, general health and well being, body sculpting, body awareness, coordination, poise and comportment, balance, body composition, mental acuity, etc. Working out is too difficult to do without success to inspire you to continue. And, without goals there is no way to measure success. Small successes lead to big successes and keep you motivated. With no goals, you’ll likely get minimal benefit and slowly lose interest.
Boot camps are a fad and a really poor fad because they have a definitive end to them. And the exercise used in boot camps vary considerably and are often the personal choice of the instructor who is usually a personal trainer with only a superficial understanding of physiology. So, I would have to question the sense in wanting what you seem to want.
One of my daughters went to a boot camp and all it did was put her through a lot of pointless exercises. Whatever gains she made have been lost and she’s heavier than ever now. It would have made much more sense for her to set goals and create a plan for achieving them.
My advice for you would be to make a list of goals you want to achieve, make them concrete and specific. For example, don’t say “I want to look like a Victoria’s Secret model”. That’s too general and probably impossible anyway. Say something like “I want to trim my waist by a few inches” or “I want to have stronger legs”. Then put your goals in order of importance and post asking how to achieve them instead of asking for a boot camp DVD.
That said, you may want to workout with Zuzana. She’s not particularly smart but she does a lot of “boot campish” routines, has a lot of free videos, and puts her times on her website so you can compete with her or use her as a “yardstick” to measure your progress.

Good luck and good health!!
