Our Miss Fit Bootcamps are just like having a personal trainer, but in a group environment (limited to 16-25 depending on location) and at a fraction of the cost of personal training. You will not be left behind or asked to do more than you are capable of doing safely but you will be motivated to work hard by giving your best effort. You will not only workout, but you will also be provided with tools to help you keep your commitment to an active lifestyle. Offered in Plano & Murphy.
* All Bootcamps occur outdoors. Early morning bootcamps will move indoors during the colder months (less than 42-degrees) and in the event of rain. Evening bootcamps will continue outdoors year-round and will be cancelled in the event of lightening, rain or sleet.
* All Bootcamp Sessions are fitness-oriented for a vigorous/challenging workout and are packed with resistance/ weight training exercises and energizing activities such as agility drills, lunges, push-ups (modified or full), ball exercises, aerobic boxing, core training, abdominal exercises with yoga & pilates inspired movement and more. Modifications are provided for many exercises.
* Some sessions will combine varied and short bouts of weight resistance exercise intervals along with 3 to 5 minute intervals of cardio exercise to tone and increase muscular strength and endurance.
* Some sessions will combine intervals of Pilates and Yoga inspired exercises with and without resistance mixed with bouts of cardio exercise to tone the body and abdominals as well as improve core strength
* Outdoor sessions may utilize equipment such as weighted bars, medicine balls, kettlebells, elastic bands and hand weights. Indoor activities may utilize the same equipment plus stability balls and aerobic step platforms.
* Cardiovascular training may include walking to jogging and/ or jogging to running - we may do a fast paced walk, walk to jog intervals, hill/obstacle training, or a slow tempo jog/skip in 3-6 minute intervals. You are not required to run or need to be able to run to participate - do your best at your best pace.
* Sessions/ Series will include nutrition information in addition to pre and post evaluations to help you monitor your progress and for accountability. Evaluations are typically done at the beginning and end of each session.
You will be encouraged and challenged to work hard, but you will not be "pushed" beyond your personal limits. 100% effort is all you will be asked to give. It's not about being an elite athlete, it's about being the best you can be! Your stamina will increase, you'll become stronger and you'll lose weight and/or become leaner, you'll gain confidence and endurance. There is no competition - improvements vary per individual. You will feel and see positive changes in cardiovascular endurance, body weight and composition, muscular strength and endurance, encouraging long-term lifestyle changes that can be maintained.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Heart Association (AHA) updated physical activity guidelines for healthy adults under age 65 are as follows:
- Do moderately intense cardio 30 minutes a day, five days a week OR Do vigorously intense cardio 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week AND 8-10 strength training exercises, 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise twice a week.
Moderate-intensity physical activity means working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat, yet still be able to carry on a conversation. It should be noted that to lose weight or maintain weight loss, 60 to 90 minutes of physical activity may be necessary. The 30-minute recommendation is for the average healthy adult to maintain health and reduce the risk for chronic disease.
