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 sort of training helps to burn 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 is a win-win way to workout.

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.  Cardio is good for your heart, burns fat, and revs up your metabolism.  Simply by combining the cardio and weight training elements together will ensure you with results and a fit healthy body.

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 boost your metabolism it can burn unwanted calories even while your body is resting.  Another added benefit in training with weights is the look every woman wants to see; fat replaced with toned muscles.  When your metabolism is higher, you expend more fat calories while the body is at rest.  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. Remember, if you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle, then it’s essential to exercise!
