The Right Way To Prepare For Your First Boot Camp Class In Atlanta


Many people nowadays join boot camp classes to burn calories within a short span of time. But a boot camp is completely different from normal group fitness programs. While attending a boot camp, you will be required to indulge in a variety of intense workouts with little rest between two sets of exercise.

Also, the session will require you to burn calories by constantly moving your body for about an hour. Hence, many beginners feel intimidated and exhausted while attending their first boot camp class. You can always keep in mind some simple tricks to prepare properly for and get the maximum out of your first boot camp class in Atlanta.

Simple Tips to Get the Most Out of Your First Boot Camp Class


You can feel the impact of rigorous workout sessions while attending the boot camp. The constant movement of your body will burn calories. But it will keep your heart racing and muscles burning for one hour. So you must prepare yourself mentally to indulge in a variety of exhausting work outs. In addition to keeping your mind calm, you must stay motivated and relaxed.

You have option to take water or energy drinks between two work out sessions. But you may find it difficult to work out rigorously when your stomach is full with liquid. You must hydrate your stomach one or two hours before the scheduled work out session to prevent dehydration due to constant movement of your muscles.

To get the most out of the first boot camp session, you must focus on each instruction of your trainer. Your instructor will guide and assist you to perform each exercise with correct body posture to avoid any injury. Therefore, it will be easier for you to divert attention from the pain and exhaustion caused by rigorous workouts by paying attention to each word uttered by the instructor.

While attending your first boot camp class, you will feel like taking short breaks regularly. But the mini breaks will prevent you from burning additional calories. Also, you must work out continuously to prevent muscle soreness by supplying fresh blood to your muscles without any interruptions. Instead of taking mini breaks, you can consider jogging between two workout sessions.

You must consider some simple tricks to stay comfortable throughout the boot camp class. In addition to breathing throughout tough exercise sessions, you must protect your back by contracting the abs. You can even make it a practice to keep breathing deeply, when your abs stay engaged and functional.

There are always chances that you will feel intimidated when coming last in relay races. To stay motivated, you must lead the relay race line and keep running towards the front of the jog line. Your positioning will prevent you from giving up and stop performing other exercises. However, you must not try to beat other seasoned participants in your first boot camp class.

You will indulge in intense workout and sweat a lot during the first boot camp session. The combination of exercise and sweating will make you lose essential electrolytes. So you need to regain the lost electrolytes by taking an electrolyte-rich snack after the boot camp class.

A Solid Fitness Boot Camp Business Plan

Image
It doesn’t matter if you’re starting a personal training business or a fitness boot camp, you’ll need a solid business plan that includes an effective marketing plan if you want to get on the fast track to success. Learn everything you can about marketing. Find out what works for you and concentrate on putting your plan into place so everybody - you, your staff and your clients, will always know what to expect. Set Goals for Your Business Your business plan must include goals. Where do you want your business to be in 12 months, three years and in 5 years? Only you know how much time and effort you want to dedicate to your business. Many small-business owners end up working seven days a week without a break and that isn’t good. Hence planning well ahead means you can take much needed time off without feeling guilty and you should also be able to take a vacation. How much money do you want to be earning in five years time? If you can set a realistic goal and work towards that financial

How to startup a Fitness Business

One of the main reasons why people decide to start their own fitness boot camp business is to make lots of money. It works, but only if it’s done right. The difference between personal training, small group training, and a bootcamp with, say, 30 participants is simply the amount of people who turn up. More people, more money right? Well in theory that’s true, but it’s very difficult to give as much personal attention and guidance to 30 people as you could with one-on-one training. If you ignore the needs and abilities of anyone who attends your classes, you’re going to run into trouble. You’ll spend more time recruiting and dealing with bad publicity than actually training anyone. There are far too many people with the wrong ideas about boot camps anyway. The U.S. Army always comes to mind first, and that’s a scary prospect for an overweight mother of three. The word “small” in small group training may be more attractive, but it still won’t help if your sessions are not planned properl

Is your training confused? Fat Loss or just Fitness?

Image
One of the most common things I see in the gym (or outside) is people confusing their training strategies with their training goals. Does your training match your goals? The two most common mismatches I see are people trying to lose fat spending hours on the cardio equipment or running; and people trying to “bulk up” and gain a “cover model” physique trying to lift the heaviest weights possible. For this post I’ll briefly cover the first group – the Fat Loss group. Although cardio was long thought of as the best way to burn fat, with a so called “fat burning zone” and the “just move more” attitude, it’s [not so] recently been proven in study after study that there are far more efficient ways to burn fat. I’m not saying that traditional cardio training isn’t beneficial, but that it’s the long road to take if fat loss is your goal and may never get you looking the way you want to look. Your body will adapt to whatever you put it through - which is why when you start you might only be abl
