Fitness Boot Camp in Thailand

A fitness boot camp is a type of physical training program conducted by gyms, personal trainers, and former military personnel. These programs have been increasing in popularity all over Australia for the past several years. The course often combines running, interval training, and many other exercises using weights and/or body weight to lose body fat, increase cardiovascular efficiency, increase strength, and help people get into a routine of regular exercise. Many programs offer nutrition advice as well.

Boot camps are designed to push people a little bit further than they would normally push themselves in the gym alone, although how strict the Trainers or drill instructors in charge depends on the company running the show. Boot Camps are often organized outdoors in parks using bodyweight exercises like push ups, squats, suspension training and burpees, interspersed with running and competitive games. The idea is that everyone involved works at their own pace as they team up and work towards one goal, either in pairs, small teams of three or four, or even two teams head on.

Boot Camps are fun, engaging, fast moving, effective and work because they provide social support for those taking part. Members of fitness boot camps are usually tested for fitness on Day 1 and then retested at the end of Camp, which usually runs for between 4-6 weeks. Everyone who joins a Boot Camp and sticks with it will see marked improvements in strength, endurance and stamina.

Why is it called boot camp?
