Healthy Explorer... Describes the boot camp class at Springfield Leisure Centre, (Corsham , Wiltshire, England) as a “straight in the deep end” style of fitness class, meaning it does not matter how fit or unfit you are , you will be very tired at the end of the class. This class has a mixture of aerobic and resistance exercise working continuously for an hour with short breaks along the way. The types of exercise are set out by the class instructor and can be literally anything they chose. In the class we did a variety of body weight exercises such as Burpees , Press ups, and squats alternated with jumping jacks. This class can also be done with exercise equipment such as Dumbells, kettle bells, power bags and much more.
What did the class participants say...... Jane Whitfield “Lost one stone (7kg) in weight , improved fitness and body tone, a variable class which is challenging and gets results”. Simon Ratcliff “ General improvement of fitness after 5 sessions, good mixture of strength and aerobic training” Isabella Meadon “ Increased level of overall fitness, able o participate in a wider range of exercise than I would do in my own training, good group mix of old, young, male/female and fitness’ levels. Good motivation for the next class”.
What does the Instructor say..... Ben said that this is one of the most challenging classes that he teaches and is amazed by the hard work put in by his participants. He is also glad with the results he class participants see from attending his boot camp class.
The Science behind the results...... this class has the mixture of aerobic and resistance exercise which is a great combination for toning muscles and burning body fat. The resistance exercise causes the small muscle fibres to break, then over the next few days after the class the body repairs these muscle fibres and makes them stronger which increases the body toning affect. This process also causes the body to burn more calories as the body needs energy to carry out the repair work; this also increases the fat burning process in the body. The aerobic exercise in this class will help the body break down sugar and fat stores in the body to produce energy for the movement you do in the class.
One last thing.... This class is great for anyone who wants a hard workout, if you are not prepared to sweat, stay at home and keep you feet up.

We would love another evening Boot camp session please !!!
ReplyDeleteHi, yes there are plans for a new evening boot camp class possibly on a Wednesday evening at 7pm. If you like the boot camp style class i would recommend trying the intense core class taster sessions running at the end of October and early November on a Wednesday evening, it will be similar to boot camp but more focusing on the core area.
DeleteHope this helps
