Bootcamp

I recently began adding in one bootcamp class a week. A local trainer, Steve Auxier, has a crossfit inspired bootcamp class that is pretty intense. If you have never heard of crossfit, it is definitely something to check out.

Muscle confusion is a key to being in good shape. Your body naturally gravitates towards workouts that you feel comfortable doing. For instance, marathon training, is teaching your body how to optimally run 26 miles. Thus, why after you have ran a few marathons, it doesn’t hurt near as bad to run that many miles. Your body has figured out how to do it, and to do it well. This is bad if you trying to lose weight, gain muscle etc. You need to constantly change up the things you are doing, so your body doesn’t know what is going on.

If I had to recommend something to someone trying to lose weight, take this bootcamp class 3 times a week and you would be set. The exercises that you perform in an hour, will keep you feelin sore for days to come….
