Boot Camp Helps Improve Athlete’s Performance

Boot Camps benefit athletes

fitness boot camp training It seems that even athletes resort to Fitness Boot Camps nowadays to get in shape for their most important matches.

China’s Tennis star, Li Na, signed up for Boot Camp training in Beijing on the prodding of her new coach, Carlos Rodriguez, in preparation for the Australian Open. The grueling workouts paid off as the tennis star beat Polish player, Agnieszka Radwanska with a 7-5 6-3 upset on January 21, thrusting her triumphantly into the semi-finals.

Tennis is a very demanding sport. To be good at it, a player needs to train to have the speed to run after the ball, to have the flexibility to move around the court, the endurance to be able to maintain a certain level of energy and alertness throughout a game and the agility to be ahead of the opponent in the match. All these skills can be achieved through endurance training, strength training and interval training best provided in Fitness Boot Camps.

Endurance Training

Endurance Training in Boot Camps includes running on the sand, uphill and downhill sprinting, and trail blazing. A tennis player needs to have more than enough staying power during the entire match which lasts for about 25-40 minutes for every set.

Strength Training

Some examples of Strength Training workouts that we do in Boot Camps are the Wheelbarrow which works the abs, the triceps, the shoulders and the glutes; the Tree Limb Pull Ups which strengthens the biceps, the shoulders and the upper back; and the Squats which build up the muscles of the lower body. Strength Training improves both the agility and speed of an athlete.

Interval Training

Interval Training enhances the performance of an athlete. These short bursts of high intensity activities help in the distribution of oxygen to the muscles and converts carbohydrates into energy. Bench Jumps, Abdominal Crunches and Leg Lunges are some examples of Interval Training exercises.

The grueling workouts paid off and Li Na went on to win over 4-time Grand Slam titlist, Maria Sharapova at the semi-finals.

Boot Camps are not only for athletes. You, too, can have the speed, stamina, agility and flexibility that they have! But it takes your commitment and determination to live your dream of a healthy and fit lifestyle. Dangerously Fit Boot Camp promises to take you all the way once you make your decision.

Binky Felstead Loses 14 lbs in Boot Camp

Published by Denby Dowling on March 1, 2014

Binky Felstead joins Boot Camp

Made in Chelsea reality TV star, Binky Felstead checked herself into a 7-day Boot Camp in Norfolk to lose the extra pounds that she had gained over the Christmas season. After a week of grueling sessions of Cross, Circuit and High Intensity Interval Training, she happily announced that she was down to 112 lbs and was ready to go back to filming for TV.

Many of us can’t help but binge on the fatty foods during the holidays; then, we’ll try to work it off by signing up for a boot camp program or hire a Personal Trainer. A lot of us take on crash diets, seeing it as the only way to get the extra pounds off.

But these things that we do on impulse only provide temporary solutions because we don’t have the right perspective.

Losing the extra kilos is not the hardest part; it’s keeping it off and maintaining the figure that is the real challenge for anyone who gets into boot camps or any other fitness training programs. If we will leave behind all that we had been taught at the boot camp, chances are, the weight we had worked so hard to lose will come back. For some, we gain even more.

That’s why in Dangerously fit Boot Camps, our trainers teach our members everything that they need to know so that they can continue with their workouts and diet plans on their own. Because we aim for long term results, we hold nothing back.

Some of the practical things we advise our members to do are to drink plenty of water, to eat more fiber because fiber will prevent the body from slowing down the burning of fats; to eat slower and in tiny portions; to surround themselves with people who share the same fitness goals and to continue the workouts and exercises that they have done while they were in the boot camp.
