Body & Soul BOOT CAMP: The Experience

Typical Session Layout

1.) Mini Nutrition / Motivation Lesson

Each training session will be immediately followed by a mini nutrition / motivation lesson.  Here we will be refining your knowledge of overall nutrition by answering many of the questions you have been pondering about the subject.  We will delve into subject matter such as finding your daily caloric need, proper proportions of protein, carbohydrates and fat within your daily diet, food sources where you will find sufficient supplies of each of these nutrients, nutrient density, hydrogenation, trans-fats, portion sizes, reading food labels, supplementation, meal planning, the power of fruits and vegetables, post exercise eating, the cheat meal, and much much more. 

2.) Personal Improvement Time

This is the portion of the session where individuals can concentrate on corrective massage with the foam rollers, stretching of trouble areas, rehabilitation of the shoulders, loosening of the knees / week joints though mini squat actions thus igniting blood circulation which will all help begin the warm-up.  This is also a great time for me to circulate and talk to individuals about any session modifications that may need to take place due to injuries or other ailments.

3.) Group Dynamic / Active Warm-up

Here, the Boot Campers will perform a dynamic / active warm-up including a stretch routine, which will involve full body movement ranges in order to proprioceptively (body awareness and balance) awaken and loosen the body in order to prepare it for full body incorporated Boot Camp.   This will enable us to be reactively prepared by providing elasticity throughout the muscular system, increased range of motion, mental preparation and preventing potential injuries. 

4.) Boot Camp Training Session Including Cardio

This is the meat and potatoes of our training.  In this portion of the session we will be completing the implementation of all 5 components of physical fitness which are: Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Cardiovascular Endurance, Body Composition and Flexibility which has already been covered.  This is where we will really be getting down to business while we push ourselves through our collaborative Boot Camp.  Most of the movements in Camp will involve multiple joint axises and planes of motion, thus increasing the body muscle activation and reactivity per exercise.  This will enable us to accomplish more with your body in a shorter period of time.  The more muscle you activate at once, the more calories you will burn, and the more your body will learn to work in unison.  We will be incorporating moves spanning from the likes of yoga, pilates, strength training, resistance band training, core reactivity training, cardiovascular training, kick boxing, plyometric footwork reactivity, med-ball training and much more. 

5.) Group Cool Down

Yes!! We did it.  Alright, time to let that heart rate recover and begin to redistribute and recirculate evenly throughout the body.  At this time, your muscles will also be returning to their original resting lengths. 


6.) Trainer Question and Answer

This is the end of the session where you are able to approach me with any questions you may have about your training, or nutrition information you may need clarified. Feel free to jog my mind!  Enjoy your accomplishments for the day!!
