Fitness Boot Camps continue to be a popular fitness trend across the country.

Fitness Boot Camps are designed to help people get in shape, tone muscle, increase energy and lose those unwanted pounds.

Boot camp exercise classes vary in style, depending on the trainer. Classes generally meet outside, rain or shine. Recruits spend 45 minutes to an hour doing some form of cardiovascular exercise (running, jumping, interval training, relay races and other challenges), along with strength elements (using resistance bands, or the resistance of their own body weight). Recruits also work on flexibility in a stretch portion of the class.

Susan Whittaker who attends MVP Boot Camp in New Town says, "This is the best exercise program I have done and it has taught me that even though I am getting older I can still be in great shape. I would tell anyone who is hesitant about trying boot camp to go for it - it is worth getting up early for the results and the sense of accomplishment that goes along with it."
