A fitness boot camp is a kind of physical training program, which is conducted by personal trainers, gyms and other military personals. These programs have continued to increase in the past few years. Boot camp training will often combine interval training, running and many other exercises, like using weights for losing body fat, increasing cardiovascular efficiency and increasing strength. Many programs offered in boot camp are for nutrition advice as well. The term ‘boot camp’ is used because it will train people, mostly outdoors and this may not be always similar to military training. Learning how to run a fitness boot camp is very easy.
Currently the term ‘boot camp’ is used in the fitness industry for describing the group fitness, which promotes fat loss, camaraderie and team effort. These programs are designed to push people a little ahead than they would push themselves in the gym. Boot camps are organized in the outdoor parks where they can use bodyweights like squats, push-ups and suspension training. The main idea of this camp is to involve everyone in working at their own pace as they come together for working towards a goal.
Boot camps will offer a social support for all those who are taking part. This will give them a different environment for people who get bored working out at the gym and find it difficult to develop a habit of exercising. Here are some simple steps on how to run a fitness boot camp.
Things Required:

...he best setting for boot camp is parks, especially if there is a good weather outside and they are rent-free. Always be creative, if at the park then use the monkey bars for developing the upper body strength or a bench can be used for tricep dips.
• You must always remind everyone that they are not in a competition and they must not compete with one another. An obese client will never will be able to keep up with a fit client, and it is your work to make sure that both are having a great time.
• You must always encourage all the participants to hydrate themselves whenever required. They should never wait for the entire group to drink water.
• Traditional boot camps are only for an hour but you can increase the time. Have fun and never be afraid of encouraging and motivating your clients. For protecting all the clients, ask everyone to sign a medical waiver.
First part of drill team is practicing techniques and going to camp. This is one of the first team activities that challenges your team ethics. When you go to camp there are a lot of other teams that are there for the same reasons as your team. Camp testes your ability to work as a team. You’re there dancing literally all day for three days straight leaning new dances.
Physical training where is especially challenging because we had members of seal team four training with us to get there’s they had just graduated from there SEAL school and could run five minute miles all day and night even though I was in good shape is still kick my butt. The normal pace for running at any Army school is a 6 ½ minute mile.
To satisfy my curiosity and gain a broad understanding of athletic training, I chose to interview my boss, Pete Stevens. Pete is employed by Physiotherapy Associates, a nationwide corporation that specializes in physical/occupational therapy, athletic training, and fitness/sports training. He has worked there for three years. He is currently the Head Athletic Trainer for The Arizona Rattlers. Pete received his undergraduate degree in Athletic Training at Boise State University in Idaho, followed by a graduate degree in Recreation from Arizona State University. He is currently considering additional education to become a Physician’s Assistant.
The recent media obsession with the scared straight program, juvenile boot camps and other scare tactics has lead to the question as to whether they actually are beneficial or not in treating adolescent criminal recidivism. On television programs like Maury (Pauvich) the answer to treating the troubled young girls who are brought to the show is boot camp. Those in charge take these girls to prisons, dangerous streets at night and often morgues to make a visual argument as to where they will end up as a result of the path they've taken. They also go through a rigorous run with drill sergeants to break down their egos. Of course it only last one day as opposed to any length of time a judge would sentence, but they get a small taste of it. Without surprise, at the end of every program of this nature, all the girls are rehabilitated and promise to go back to school, quit drugs, stealing, prostituting, and stop the abusive behavior.
Because of the deaths that have already occurred at teenage boot camps, and because many reputable professional organizations denounce their use, parents should think twice before being seduced by the opportunity to get rid of their troubled teens for a few weeks or months. Even military schools are likely to be ineffective ways of addressing unwanted behaviors in teenagers (CRC Health Group). Boot camps are not monitored by the government or by any reputable organization and are therefore risky alternatives for parents who care for their teenagers. Discipline can be achieved by means other than teenage boot camps.
Boot camp programs operate under a military-like routine wherein young offenders convicted of less serious, nonviolent crimes are confined for a short period of time, typically from 3 to 6 months (Parent, 1989). They are given close supervision while being exposed to a demanding regimen of strict discipline, physical training, drill, inspections, and physical labor. All the programs also incorporate some degree of military structure and discipline. They follow new strict rules that they are not use to which include the following: (1) Basic training program inmates shall not enter the rooms of other inmates.

Athletic training has evolved into a major influence in athletes’ lives. Growth of the athletic trainer’s role from ancient times to present has been on a tremendous rise of new and better equipment also well-educated individuals to prevent and help athletes when needed. Athletic training has evolved as a major paramedical profession since the 1950, when the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) was formed. The primary purpose for its formation was to establish professional standards for the athletic trainers.

Written in the text book, Corrections in America: An Introduction, “Boot camps tend to do the following: Target non-crime-producing needs, such as physical conditioning, drill and ceremony, and self-esteem” (Allen 145) Drill and ceremony may teach delinquents discipline, only if they are able to apply to real life situations, self-esteem can make delinquents more confident to commit crimes, and physical conditioning can get delinquents in better shape to run or fight the police. These attributes learned in boot camp can be put to good use if applied to living a straight life, but these delinquents tend to live a life full of crime.
One of the Army leader’s roles is to plan, assess, and prepare execution of daily training. The training that is carried out is based on tasks, conditions and standards. The Army training prepares Soldiers to always fight to the optimum level of operations. In fact, some of the crucial issues include versatile, lethal, agile, and survivable force. The mission is always challenging but Physical Readiness Training, or PRT, prepare the Soldiers to fulfil the mission regardless of the constraints of an operational environment. To achieve victory, Soldiers depend on their coordination, resiliency, strength, stamina, as well as agility to fight and win. The operation and fighting ground requires the best physical conditioning (Headquarters Department of the Army, 2012). In general perspective, Army Physical Readiness Training is accomplished in various chapters, which include approach, system, leadership, types of program, planning considerations, execution of training, preparation and recovery, strength and mobility activities, as well as endurance and mobility activities.

...layers to try out and utilize a variety of exercises in creating a routine that works. It’s a good idea to start with a half-hour session, in which five minutes of light training is alternated with five minutes of intense training. Intense training can include simple court-length sprints, or a variety of other drills
Physical training is 90% mental and 10% physical. The most important factor is developing a proper mindset. Your frame of mind guides everything that you do. The right mindset will get you through any challenge. Get your mind right and your body will follow. From this point forward, view physical training as an all or nothing situation. You are either in or out. There is no grey area. The words “I can’t” can no longer be part of your vocabulary. Do not give yourself permission to miss a meal or a training session. Do not make or accept excuses for not following through. There are no excuses. Trust this system. Trust yourself. Follow the programs. Failure is not an option.
