If you’ve just decided to join a boot camp class, it’s important to understand what’s going to occur in your body as you work your way through it. Many people don’t quite know what to expect when moving through this type of workout program so by gaining an understanding of it, you’ll feel more motivated to pus h through until the end.Let’s take a look, week by week, what your body will be doing as you move along through the course.
Week 1
During the first week, your body is going to be learning the new movement patterns and rapidly getting stronger. You may not see weight loss during this time as you might begin to add lean muscle mass while you burn fat.
Rest assured you are making progress though, so don’t let the scale steer you otherwise.
Week 2
During the second week of bootcamp, you’re going to start seeing more increases in your fitness level as you gain the confidence to move through each form of exercise that you’re doing.
In addition to this, you should notice your resting heart rate go down as your body gets into better cardiovascular condition.
[FUN FACT] According to Wikipedia, Lance Armstrong's resting heart rate was 32 beats per minute!
Week 3
Moving on to week three, now you will start to see faster weight loss occurring as your burning more calories with the higher amount of work you’re putting into each session. You should be starting to notice that you feel stronger everyday as well and that you’re noticing positive changes taking shape in your body appearance.
Week 4
Finally, by the time the fourth week arrives, you’ll notice you have more energy on a day to day basis, you’re able to see more visible muscle definition, and activities that may have tired you out in the past likely no longer do.
At this point you should be feeling good moving forwards and should feel comfortable to add more weight to your exercises or join an advanced bootcamp class.
If you stick with this form of training, there’s no question it will lead to great results, so work hard and you’ll reap all the benefits it has to offer.
