A bootcamp is an interval training fitness program – bursts of intense activity alternated with intervals of lighter activity, to help achieve results in the quickest time possible. The classes are led by a bootcamp instructor also known as group fitness instructor. Bootcamps incorporate cardio, circuit training, aerobic exercises, weight training, flexibility, boxing, yoga, Pilates, martial arts, endurance, interactive games and sometimes dance moves. The sessions are full body workouts, starting off with warm ups and stretches, gradually building up to a high intensity workout which will put the body in a fat burning zone.
