Fitness Boot Camps: 5 Reasons to Try

By Curtis Ludlow

Want to feel awesome, have more energy and perhaps even live longer? Look no further than the newest fitness trend - boot camp workouts!

The benefits of boot camp workouts are too numerous to list here. However, here are five big benefits of boot camp workouts that you may not be aware of.

1. You will have a new social circle of friends.

Many people find it challenging to make friends and develop friendships as they get older. Boot camps facilitate team work, play, and fun so you have no choice but to interact with and meet new people.

2. Weight loss.

This one's a no-brainer. When you exercise, you burn calories. The more intensely you exercise, the more calories you burn " and the easier it is to keep your weight under control. Boot camp classes are by definition intense exercise sessions. This means that you will burn more calories and potentially lose more weight.

3. You will sleep like a baby.

If you are having problems getting to sleep and staying asleep, boot camp might help. Intense exercise can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep.

4. Better sex.

If you exercise regularly you will have more energy and look better, this alone can improve you sex life. However, there is more to it than that. Working out improves circulation which can lead to better sex.

5. Boot camp exercise if fun!

Most people are too scared to try a boot camp program. They think that they'll be yelled at and taunted etc. Unless you're joining a military style boot camp - this probably won't happen to you. Most boot camp programs are actually a loving and supportive environment full of people just like you. People who just want to get in shape and have fun doing it!
