bootcamp class

Mari82chicago

OK so im gonna start this bootcamp class next week 3 times a week would it be considered a strenght training so i wont have to plan on doing? im believing yes it is considered strenght cause even though we are not using weights its our own body weight and plyometrics etc but would like some advice. thanks

I do a very intense bootcamp workout 2 nights per week. It is not a replacement of weight-lifting, if you are a person that lifts weights.

I do 3-4 boot camps a week. Its circuits; I consider it both strength training and cardio, but I log it as cardio since it burns 450 calories for me.

I was just looking for a boot camp equilivant in the class list and didn't find one. I thought the "calisthetics vigorous effort" was the closest since it listed situps and pushups.....it listed burning 473 caloris, and I think that is about right....

ya i would die too. I don't lift, but I do a body pump class and I never do body pump and bootcamp on the same day; that would kill me

I log mine as vigorous calesthenics. If you are doing a bootcamp 3 days per week, I would lift 2 of the *other* days per week. For example, I bootcamp on Tues/Thurs so I lift Sat/Sun.

bootcamp is I did to get rid of 40lbs it was a lot of circuit stuff and running hills
It really helped to get some muscle to show through
I did do some weightlifting once a week with my boyfriend.
