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.  You can’t have one without the other as it makes the workout incomplete.  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.

Lets break it down starting with 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 combat the force made by the muscle through contracting it.  This kind of exertion is helpful to decrease muscle fat.  There are quite a few women who don’t like the idea of working out with weights, however the advantages are beneficial as you burn calories while strengthening your muscles and bones.  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 engaged in cardio activity you are burning the stored fat in your body which helps create a caloric deficit.  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.

As you can see by combining these types of workouts into the same session you will reap the benefits of maximum weight loss potential in the shortest amount of time.  Another way to burn fat and increase your metabolism is to use your own bodyweight while exercising.  Basically your metabolic rate is a measure of how fast you burn through the calories that you consume.  When you boost your metabolism it can burn unwanted calories even while your body is resting.  Another result to training with weights that every women wants to experience is a toned body.  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.  When the fat is gone after all your hard work and effort, you can see the toned look in your body.

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.
