The Benefits of Boot Camp Training

Hi all, Mark here.

In this week's blog I explain some of the benefits of boot camp training along with what you can expect from participating in these popular fitness regimes.

A fitness boot camp is a form of group training which is usually held in gyms, parks or halls. They can be run by personal trainers, group fitness instructors or ex- military personnel. Boot camps are a fantastic form of physical activity which focuses on all areas of fitness. The great thing about boot camp Bundoora is they can be performed with little or no equipment at all.

Boot Camp programs usually consist of high intensity interval training, running, body weight exercises like push up’s, squats, chin up’s, lunges and planks. Lifting objects or weights can also be incorporated in the session. It is also common to see ropes, tyres and weight sleds being used.  They can be designed to suit all ages and fitness levels as well.

Exercising together in a group and setting team challenges ensures all participants push themselves to their full potential. Another great part of boot camp Greensborough is the social aspect. It is common that participants make friends and socialise as they exercise. People often get bored working out alone in a gym and feel boot camps are a great way of forming a regular exercise routine.

Boot camps originally began based on military style training though we have seen a change over the years where they have become a form of outdoor group training. Boot Camp Mill Park promotes overall health and well being. Participants will generally notice a dramatic improvement in fitness levels, weight loss, reduction in high blood pressure, feel stronger and have loads more energy. Sessions can usually be charged individually ranging from $10 to $25 per session or as a package usually 10 sessions at a time. This also is a cost effective way of exercising as gym memberships can be quite expensive.

What to look for in a Personal Trainer

What to look for in a Personal Trainer .

With the ever increasing demand for fitness professional’s, it’s only natural for the supply of personal trainers in the industry to increase meeting rapidly growing demands. Just like in any profession/industry you get a broad spectrum of individuals/organisations who can range from being experienced and extremely competent at their work, down to unprofessional, inexperienced and lacking knowledge.

For many of us it can be quite daunting seeking out a personal trainer mill park especially if we lack low self-esteem. I decided to write this article to help make the process a little easier and to give you some valuable information when choosing a personal trainer Greensborough

Here are my top 5 points to consider when choosing a personal trainer.

    
1.Are they fully qualified? (minimum qualifications should be cert 3 & 4 in fitness. This applies more so for someone who runs their own fitness studio or works from home. There are no qualification requirements for running your own fitness studio or personal training sessions. I believe this is absolutely ridiculous and means that we have untrained and potentially dangerous personal trainers out there.

2. Are they registered with a peak governing body like, Fitness Australia or Physical Activity  Aust.?  In order to remain registered with these peak bodies, personal trainers must complete short courses and stay up to date with all their qualifications.

3. Do they have current first aid training? This goes without saying for obvious reasons.

4.  How much do they charge? Before commencing personal training Bundoora you should ask           what the going rate is. Be cautious about being locked into contracts or long term commitment before you are comfortable with your trainer. Never pay upfront for multiple sessions before you've had 3-4 initial sessions. Make sure you feel confident training with them and that they are the right person in assisting you with your fitness goals.

5.   They must listen to you! Communication must be a two way street, your personal trainer watsonia must listen to your concerns, answer your questions and be willing to go above and beyond for you. They should factor in any current or prior injuries along with medical conditions you may have and design a structured and safe fitness program addressing these issues.

So there you go, I hope that helps. If you have any further questions please feel free to email me at info@alltonefitness.com.au
