Bootcamp Workout Tips

You've signed up for a fitness bootcamp or purchased a killer bootcamp workout plan that you can do at home but are you really prepared for these butt kicking routines. The bootcamp workout tips below will help you burn more fat and calories, keep you motivated and happy, and get you the best results possible.

Strap The Girls Down
Bootcamp workouts include a ton of dynamic movement like jumping, running, and plank work and the last thing you want is your girls getting in the way of a great workout. It doesn't matter if you're an A cup or a quadruple E cup. You need a great sports bra that provides great shock absorption, has stretcheable molded cups, keeps you cool and dry, and those with larger rib cages may want to consider a sports bra that has hook and eye closures so you avoid shoulder dislocation when putting it on or taking it off. Try the Hind Motion Sensor Bra - Women's

Wear The Right Running Shoes
Because bootcamp workouts include high impact drills, static exercises, along with multi-directional moves you must wear a running shoe that provides tons of cushioning and support, but is also light, grippy, and flexible. Wearing the wrong shoe or worn out shoes increases your risk of injury to feet, ankles, knees, hips, and low back. It can also have a direct impact on the number of calories and fat your body burns. One of the best shoes for bootcamp style workouts is the Adidas Supernova Sequence Running Shoe.

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff
The 3 most overlooked items that people wish they had when doing bootcamp workouts are a hand towel, a water bottle, and elastic hair bands. You will sweat like crazy so keeping your hair out of your face, drying off, and staying hydrated are a must if you want to stay focused on your workout. Even if you train at home keeping those things on the floor nearby saves time and keeps your mind off the little things and on the more important stuff like how many pushups go were able to do, the stability of your plank rotations, or the intensity of your lunge kicks.

Use Your Gear to Boost Motivation
Bootcamp workouts include tons of timed intervals and flexibility moves that can be a challenge if you're used to more traditional workouts. The best tools to get through those tough intervals and flexibility exercises are the Gymboss timer and a Yoga Block. Having a timer takes the pressure off and lets you focus on each exercise. Having a block helps you align and work within your range of motion until you achieve more flexibility, mobility, and balance. Use the these killer tools to help your body adjust and you'll see results much faster.
