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 most people would assume that an athlete training for high-level competition would follow a different program than a person whose goals are general health and fitness.

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

Boot camp workouts include something from each of the four basic fitness components. Every boot camp workout also begins with a warmup and ends with a cool down.

Did you know that because camps often use time based, not performance based intervals, both high level athletes and novices 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. DYNAMIC WARMUP - 5-10 minutes of exercise such as walking lunges, slow jogging, arm circles or trunk rotations. Low intensity movements that simulate movements to be used in the activity can also be included in the warmup.

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. ENDURANCE - at least three 45-MIN. exercise training sessions a week that include exercises such as pushups, abs, pull-ups, and strength training for all the major 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 - 10-12 minutes of daily stretching exercises performed slowly, without a bouncing motion. This can be included after a warmup or during a cooldown.

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