Bootcamp fitness classes borrow from the military’s tradition of whipping fresh-off-the-bus recruits into shape using circuits of simple bodyweight exercises and high intensity cardio that give participants a grueling metabolic conditioning workout. If you’ve used the Fitness Anywhere Military Program or All Body Xpress you’re already familiar with this style of training—performing timed intervals of an exercise followed by brief periods of rest or active recovery before jumping right back in and hitting it hard again.
Like all metabolic conditioning, bootcamps are an excellent way to melt fat and build functional strength and conditioning; but any bootcamp class can be made even better with the addition of the TRX!
Bootcamps usually meet in outdoor locations ranging from parks to parking lots, trainers don’t have the luxury of choosing from an entire gym full of equipment when programming their workouts. Every extra piece of equipment a trainer adds to a bootcamp class must be transported to the location, set up, and stored somewhere in between classes. It all needs to fit in the trainers’ vehicle, too.
The TRX makes it easy for trainers to provide their classes with a complete and challenging workout.
In the next post, we’ll take a look at some of the advantages of using the TRX for bootcamp training.
Until then! FA
