It’s basic knowledge that in order to slim down and shape up you need to exercise regularly, it’s not only crucial but necessary.  The best fitness program out there is one that combines adequate amounts of weight training and cardio.  Truly you need to incorporate both if you are missing one of these elements for a complete workout.  Each workout at Body Envy Boot Camp is effective because not only does it combine both, it brings something new and different every time so it makes the camp experience fun and fresh.

First, lets take a look at weight training. At Boot Camp for example, the weights you train with are free weights, you use them to target specific muscle groups.  It uses the force of gravity in the form of the weight, to oppose the force generated by the muscle through contraction.  This kind of exertion is helpful to decrease muscle fat.  Many women overlook training with weights but there are so many advantages by using them, you gain not only strength but you build muscle and strengthen the bones while burning calories.  It’s a successful way to exercise.

Cardiovascular fitness is essentially the efficiency of the heart, lungs, and vascular system in bringing oxygen to the muscle tissues so that extended physical activity can be maintained. When you are actively engaged in cardio motion you are using up the stored fat in your body.  Adding cardio to your routine not only is good for your heart, but it also helps burn fat while reving up your metabolism.  By incorporating these two elements together they will keep you fit and healthy.

It’s clear that by adding these two fitness elements together you will quickly see results and you will be on your way to reaching your full fitness potential.  Using your own bodyweight is also one of the best ways to boost your metabolism and burn fat.  Your metabolic rate is basically the measure of how fast you burn through those unwanted calories while you are at rest.  When you rev it up, it can even burn calories while you’re resting.  Another added benefit in training with weights is the look every woman wants to see; fat replaced with toned muscles.  Because of the higher metabolism, a higher amount of stored fat calories are expended when the body is at rest which aids the body to melt fat.  You will be able to see the toned look in your body when you blast the fat after your determination and hard work.

It’s important to keep your workouts fun and fresh, otherwise it gets old quick.  There are so many varieties of exercises that have been pre-planned out for you so the main goal for you is to show up and be prepared to put in some effort at Body Envy Boot Camp. Keep in mind, if you would like to make some changes and live a healthy lifestyle, it’s never too late to exercise!
