If you want to change your lifestyle for the better and gain energy, confidence, strength, health benefits, body awareness and nutritional knowledge, this is the program for you! Cultivating a lean, sexy body and meeting others who are interested in doing the same are also good reasons to get yourself into a Firm Body boot camp :)
2. What takes place during a given class?
Each session begins with a 5 to 10 minute warm up to get the body ready to workout. Muscular and cardio conditioning exercises will follow. These include but are not limited to: cardio intervals, obstacle courses, stairs, circuits, and isometrics. More specifically, lunges, push-ups, sprints, and resistance band exercises are the staples of these programs. The session will end with a short cool down and a stretch.
3. Do I have to be in shape to sign-up?
No! You are signing up in order to get in shape! Several programs such as Get Back on Track or Shake it Up are geared towards beginners or those who have been working out infrequently. Modifications are given for most exercises so that you can choose to do the high, medium, or low impact option. Advanced classes exist for those who are just looking to enhance their already fit condition.
4. What kind of results can I expect?
By the end of the 6 week program most people lose half an inch to 1.5 inches off their hips and thighs, lose 5-10lbs of weight and show an increase of at least 10% in cardio and muscular endurance and strength.
Individual results will vary based mainly on four factors: body type, eating habits and the amount of effort put into each session and the program as a whole. Note that 75% of these factors are within your control!
