Signing up for boot camp

To find a fitness boot camp, check local fitness centers and gyms. As you consider your options, ask yourself these questions:

• What are the instructor's qualifications?
• Is the class a good mix of aerobics and strength training?
• What do people who've taken the class have to say about it?
• Is this class a good match for my fitness goals?
• Have I established a base level of strength, conditioning and proper movement patterns to prepare me for the class?

Boot camp may not be for everyone. But if you're looking for a high-energy workout that offers variety and camaraderie, boot camp may be just what you need.
