DON'T SIGN UP FOR ANY BOOT CAMP UNTIL YOU READ THIS FIRST

By Curtis Ludlow

How frequently, how long and how hard you workout, and what kinds of exercises you do should be determined by what you are attempting to achieve. Your goals, and current fitness level, age, health, skills, interest and convenience are among the factors you should consider.

For example, an athlete training for competition might follow a different program than a person whose goals are general health.

Did you know that it is possible for top athletes and a novices to exercise together. How? Simple, boot camp fitness workouts.

Boot camp exercise programs include each of the 4-fitness components. Additionally, boot camp workouts also include warm up and cool down components.

Additionally, many camps use time based measures of performance so top level athletes and beginners both can both benefit from the program.

Included below are the minimum time requirements to maintain a minimum level of fitness. Also included are some of the most popular exercises for each category.

1. A DYNAMIC WARMUP - 5-10 min. of moves such as walking, jogging, bridges or "inch-worms". Low intensity exercises that simulate the exercises to be performed in the activity can also be included.

2. STRENGTH - a minimum of 2 20-minute sessions a week that include moves for all the muscle groups. Strength training is the best way to improve strength.

3. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE TRAINING- at least three 40-minute workouts a week that include exercises such as stretching, pushups, pilates, rowing, and strength training for all the large muscle groups.

4. CARDIO ENDURANCE - at least three 20-minute bouts of aerobic (activity requiring oxygen) rhythmic exercise each week. Exercises such as cross-country skiing, and some continuous action games like racquetball and handball.

5. FLEXIBILITY - ten to fifteen min. of stretching exercises performed slowly. This can be included after a warm up or during a cooldown.

6. COOL DOWN - a minimum of ten min. of walking combined with easy stretching.
