SCW Fitness: Boot Camps, HOO-AAH!

"Drop and give me 20, soldier!" Those are words you have heard if you have ever served in the Armed Forces. You may have also heard them of late in an exercise class. Yes, in a group exercise room, a park or even in a corporate, conference center. That is because the fitness industry has adapted the one format, the one genre, the one program that anyone would feel confidant to try. It is called Boot Camp. If have been thinking of starting a boot camp class or a boot camp program, here are a few tips to ensure your "Platoon accomplishes the mission"

Always warm up your troops. Try putting your troops in formation and sing a little cadence. It makes them feel like "soldiers".
Create workouts that build camaraderie and cohesiveness. Partner your troops up and have them work in teams.
Create strategies to encourage adherence to your classes. Offer "encouragement" (push-ups, squat thrusts, etc.) to those who miss class or show up late.
Always cool down and stretch your troops. Remember, flexibility is an important component of fitness.

So, if you're walking by and hear a little "diddy", a little "encouragement" and a whole lot of motivation, no worries, it's just me leading my troops to victory! Hoo-Aah!
