What are the benefits of a boot camp workout?

The goal of a fitness boot camp is to provide a whole-body workout that builds strength and aerobic endurance. Boot camp workouts also attract many people because they may:

• Offer a more challenging, varied and fun workout
• Require little or no special equipment
• Create a sense of friendship (camaraderie) among the participants

Also, because a boot camp workout generally is done at a higher intensity than moderate aerobic activity, the same health benefits — such as a lower risk of heart disease — can be achieved in less time than in moderate activities such as walking.
