The unique quality of Fitness Boot Camps Canada is best defined by the expansive variety of exercises you'll complete during your 4 week boot camp. Each time you attend a session you'll find two things. First, you'll find a certified personal instructor who's qualified to teach intensive exercise programs.
Second, you'll find plenty of surprises at Fitness Boot Camps Canada. Participants love the fact they don't know exactly what they'll be doing from one session to the next. You may find yourself jumping rope one day and completing an obstacle course the next. Each session will involve a set of exercises that make your body work hard as you seek a higher level of fitness.
There's absolutely no time to get bored at Fitness Boot Camps Canada. If you've struggled to stay interested through a set of repetitions on fitness center equipment, you know that boredom is anathema to a good conditioning program. You have to stay mentally focused on your body in order to achieve the maximum results.
That's why instructors will say, "concentrate on your biceps", while doing curls with hand weights. Now think about focusing on pushing your body's muscles to do a varying round of exercises that include cardio and strength training. Your program will involve a varying class schedule that builds core stability, improves body functioning, enhances endurance, improves form, and expands cardio capacity.
Boot camp also incorporates a variety of exercise programs within the overall plan. For example, you will do some aerobic training, pilates exercises, a PAR course and short distance running. The glory of such a program is that no muscle in your body is left untouched so to speak. That's how such stunning results can be seen in just a few weeks.
Your fitness instructor is an expert who knows how to inspire people to reach for their fitness goals. The program is an adventure in exercise that produces outstanding results in a relatively short period of time. Your instructor makes sure you never remain on a plateau, because if you do, a new round of exercises will propel you to the next level of productivity.
Fitness boot camps have proven to be a good idea whose time has come. Many of the programs are offered in the early morning too so you can attend before going to work. Research has shown exercise to be a major factor in improving mental acuity, so you get both physical and mental benefits when you participate in an accelerated exercise program.
If you've had a hard time starting an exercise program, or are just plain bored with the one you are doing, then Fitness Boot Camps Canada offer alternatives perfect for your situation. You'll find yourself jumping for fitness and then jumping for joy.

The Benefits of exercising in the morning!
The Benefits of exercising in the morning!
With the weather finally getting warmer and the days getting longer, it's time to start getting out there and exercising on a regular basis..
Fitness Boot Camps Canada, Canada's #1 fitness boot camp program is a outdoor fitness program for women and men and they say that the mornings are by far the very best time to exercise, and have some 'you' time. Some mornings, you may just be able to fit in a 10 minute walk, but it's important to try to do something every morning.
So why mornings?
# More than 90 percent of people, who exercise consistently, exercise in the morning. If you want to exercise consistently try exercising first thing in the morning.
# When you exercise early in the morning, you literally 'jump start' your metabolism and keep it elevated for hours, sometimes up to 24 hours. That means you're burning more calories all day, just because you exercised in the morning.
# When you exercise in the morning you'll be energized for the day.
# Many people find that morning exercise 'regulates' their appetite for the day — that they aren't as hungry and that they make better food choices. Others say that it puts them in a healthy mindset.
# If you exercise at the same time every morning and ideally wake-up at about the same time on a regular basis, your body's endocrine system and circadian rhythms adjust to that. Physiologically, some wonderful things begin to happen: A couple of hours before you awaken, your body begins to prepare for waking and exercise because it 'knows' it's about to happen. Why? Because it 'knows' you do the same thing almost every day. You benefits from this are:
1.) It's much easier to wake-up. When you wake-up at different times every day, it confuses your body and leaves it never really 'prepared' to wake up.
2.) Your metabolism and the hormones involved in activity and exercise begin to elevate while you're sleeping, leaving you feeling more alert, energized, and ready to exercise when you do wake-up.
3.) Hormones prepare your body for exercise by regulating blood pressure, heart rate, blood flow to muscles, etc.
# For many people, that appointed time every morning becomes something they look forward to. It's time they've set aside to do something good for themselves — to take care of their body, mind, and soul. Many find that it's a great time to think clearly, pray, plan their day, or just relax mentally.
# Research has demonstrated that exercise increases mental acuity. On average it lasts four to 10 hours after exercise! No sense in wasting that brain power while you're sleeping.
# Exercise first thing in the morning is really the only way to assure that something else won't crowd exercise out of your schedule. When your days get hectic, exercise usually takes a back seat.
# If finding time to exercise is difficult, anyone can get up 30 to 60 minutes earlier to exercise (if it's a priority in your life). If necessary, you can go to sleep a little earlier. Also, research has demonstrated that people who exercise on a regular basis have a higher quality of sleep and thus require less sleep.
# You'll feel great! Do it!

Fitness Boot Camps Canada -Hot exercise trends
Fitness Boot Camps Canada -Hot exercise trends
Exercise is medicine” and boot camps are great exercise! A publication of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) released a report only a few days ago. ACSM is the largest sports medicine and exercise science organization in the world with more than 35,000 international, national, and regional members and certified professionals dedicated to advancing and integrating scientific research in educational and practical applications of exercise science and sports medicine. Gone are the days when exercise, particularly a gym membership, was regarded as luxury. Nowadays, it is considered preventive medicine. In North America, this is a recognized fact, prompting even some health insurers to pay for fitness programs. Most companies there also pay or subsidize exercise programs since a law made such a company expense tax deductible.
With the increasing role of exercise in disease prevention and cure, what would the industry focus on? How would the industry adapt to the recession? What does the public expect from the industry?
We look at predictions not only of ACSM but also of the American Council on Exercise (ACE) as well as the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA). ACE is one of the largest fitness certification, education, and training organizations in the world with more than 40,000 certified fitness professionals in 107 countries while IHRSA is the industry’s only global trade association with a membership of over 9,400 for profit health and fitness facilities and over 740 supplier companies in 78 countries.
The yearly survey of ACSM is a result of 1,500 completed surveys from respondents in six continents. Thirty-five potential trends were given as choices, and the top 20 ranked and published by ACSM. While it ranked third in the 2007 survey, experienced and educated fitness professionals was identified as the top trend to watch in 2009.
Addressing Childhood Obesity
How times have changed! Only 15 years ago, the medical community was wary of any association with gyms mostly because of the lack of trust in the ability of fitness professionals. Since both industries have to collaborate, focus now is on education and certification to allow the fitness professional to properly adapt to medical prescriptions and guidelines. Next on the list of 20 are trends related to children and obesity and personal training. This is the third year in a row for programs that address childhood obesity to land on the survey’s top five. Personal trainers are more accessible to more people, the survey notes. Strength training and core training complete the top five. Staying strong while aging is becoming a more important motivation. The next top five include special fitness programs for older adults, Pilates, use of stability balls, sport-specific training, and balance training. The focus of sport-specific training is to build an athlete’s strength and endurance while off-season. Balance training involves exercises on a wobble board or a stability ball. The next five trends consist of functional fitness or workouts that prep your body for your daily activities; wellness coaching that supports clients in making behavioral changes for better wellness; and outcome measurements or the trend of measuring progress toward fitness goals as well as comprehensive health programming at work and worker incentive programs. The last two aim to improve employees’ health and lower health care costs. Completing the list of 20 are spinning or indoor cycling, physician referrals, exercise for weight loss, group personal training, and reaching new markets. Group training aims to lower the cost of personal training by accomodating two or three people at the same time. New markets refer to the huge percentage of the global population without an exercise routine or a place to exercise.
The survey of ACE concludes that boot camp-style workouts, named most popular workout in 2008, will remain the top fitness trend in 2009. Expectantly, consumers will tighten their wallets when it comes to staying in shape in a struggling economy. “The overarching theme for fitness in 2009 is getting more bang for the buck,” says ACE’s Chief Science officer Cedric X. Bryant, PhD. “Consumers will engage in workouts that provide multiple benefits due to time and economic limitations. We will also see continued trends from 2008 including boot-camp style workouts, technology-based workouts, out-of-the-box programming, and an increased interest in fitness for those who are over 50 years old.”
Boot camp workouts remain popular for providing total-body workouts that are varied, fun, and challenging. Up to 600 calories can be burned per session. In addition to being a great cardiovascular workout, muscles are strengthened through high- and low-intensity exercises such as high rep weight training, pushups, squats with weights, and lunges with weights. You don’t typically experience significant muscle fitness benefits in other aerobic exercises. There is also a growing focus on exercise for strength, vitality, longevity, and anti-aging for people over 50 years old as well as the fusion of technology, such as iPods, cardio theater, gaming, Internet and other new inventions to entertain and engage the member. Obviously, the later trend caters more to the techno-manic younger set.
How to Boot yourself out of bed in the morning!
School has memories I'd forgotten until recently, of competitive guys who got off on being faster, fitter, more agile than the rest of us.
Remember, in those days the hour devoted to 'PT' and the compulsory 'extramurals' of football and athletics were the ultimate drag. So those little – they were also – smug and ripped flying over the vaulting horses and sprinting around the pockmarked running track made me feel both inadequate and scornful.
Fast forward more years than I'd like to mention, and I'm having flashbacks. Except this time there's no scorn in the picture and I have the last laugh.
Fitness Boot Camps Canada
For about a year now, there's been a growing buzz about Fitness Boot Camps Canada. The concept and the business have been around a lot longer, but suddenly, in my circle, the bug seems to have bitten. Women who've been perfectly happy with a gentle stroll on the Promenade, maybe some yoga or Pilates, are suddenly raving about the benefits of something that sounds very much like the old 'PT'.
