Fitness Boot Camp
Fitness Boot camps have been gaining steadily in popularity over the last few years. You see them popping up in health clubs and community recreation centers all over the St. Louis and St. Charles
Metropolitan area. Why? Because busy folks like getting their workout in early. Our boot camp is at 5:45 a.m. (as in the early morning). For most that is the best time to get in a workout and still have time to get ready for work. Another reason boot camps have become popular is that it feels great breathing the fresh outside air while working out. We have held our boot camps in Fort Zumwalt Park in O'Fallon as well as Boulevard Park in Lake St. Louis. We are sometimes inside if the weather doesn't cooperate. A great thing about fitness boot camps is that the format allows us to delve more deeply into functional kinds of fitness skills. Real world activities like running, leaping, and carrying heavy things are what the military train to do because that mimics some of their real-world activities. Those very same kinds of activities also are some of the best ways to train you in terms of cardio-vascular fitness, strength, agility, and endurance.
Fitness Boot Camp at the Blue Wave is led by Master David Blevins. A fitness and martial arts professional who has actually trained member of the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force and Secret Service. And, even though you might not be in the military it is nice to know we at Blue Wave have the expertise you are looking for. What do you mean you're not a soldier? Fitness is WAR! Train to WIN!
At our Fitness Boot Camp you don't need to wear boots. While the weather is cold you will need some indoor aerobics or cross training shoes. When it gets warm enough then break out your runnning shoes! This class is designed for both men and
women of all fitness levels. But whatever your level, you should be prepared to be challenged. Some short running, hills, groundwork, tires, medicine balls, and other interesting surprises are featured in every class. Be assured - no two classes are ever the same except for being a blast. Fitness Boot Camp will definitely jump start your day and get your metabolism cooking so you can burn calories all day long. We always begin with an east warmup and progress through the hour to a fairly strenuous level then a cooldown and stretch. Classes range in size from 15 to 30 so you'll enjoy the comaraderie of others without it being so crowded. And, while the work can sure be tough, the mood is always upbeat (sometimes even funny with some of our drills). There is definitely no better way to begin your day.
