Unless you’re in a specially designed class, you probably have figured out by now that Fitness Bootcamps require very little equipment.As a matter of fact, the program was originally designed to be completed without any tools whatsoever and although we’ve modified that plan a bit to include weights and mats, the principle is the same:Exercises are simple enough to follow alone or in a group, with a trainer or without assistance, and at an intensity which can be modified for a wide range of skills and abilities.That said, the theory of Body Weight Training cannot be ignored.
Body Weight Training is simply the practice of utilizing one’s own body-weight for resistance during exercise.Pushups are a perfect example of this principle.Although machines and barbells can be used to work the same muscles, absolutely NO equipment is required to do a pushup, thereby making it easier to do at home, while on vacation, or virtually anywhere.It must be emphasized that form and control are key because without form and control you risk ineffectiveness and injury.Your trainer can verify your form during your Fitness Bootcamp session.
