Burn Fat

Pic of Boot with boot campYou have resolved to lose weight and burn fat for this new year. Admirable, now let me help you achieve your goals. Or perhaps you need to change up your routine. May I suggest a Boot Camp style class. My gym calls it “Train with the Trainer.”

The American Council on Exercise (ACE), had research recently completed a study, which shows doing a boot camp class, using calisthenics, can burn 300 calories for every 30 minutes of exercise. If the class is an hour long, that is 600 calories in hour…roughly a calorie a minute!! This is an intense class using exercising with incremental rests, is very similar to interval training.

You will burn calories and most definitely burn fat. Try to work in a boot camp class once a week to keep things fresh!
