| How
is the class formatted? |
| |
Ultimate
Bootcamp BLAST classes are designed to give you a high-intensity
total body workout. You'll hit all the major muscle groups
in the 90 minute class while mixing it up with challenging
group drills, cardio challenges and relay races. This class
is for the intermediate/advanced fitness levels.
Ultimate Bootcamp BASICS classes
are designed to give you a total body workout. You will focus
on exercises and drills that will help you build a solid fitness
foundation. Everyone will work at their own pace in this beginners
class. |
| I missed
the class, can I get a refund? |
| |
Refunds are not given. You must give us
3 days notice if you are not able to attend the class in order
to receive credit towards a future class. |
| I'm not
a runner, do we have to run in class? |
| |
Ultimate Bootcamp isn't a running club.
Ask a class of 30 bootcampers if they LOVE to run, and only
a few will raise their hands! We utilize jogging in our daily
warm-ups and in some drills to get your body warm and heart
rate up. Also, be prepared to keep your heart-rate up by doing
high knees, jumping jacks, side shuffles and other cardio drills...it
can be intense. |
| How many
people are in each class? |
| |
Classes are limited for your safety, so
signing up early for a session is always a good idea. Many of
our popular class locations and times fill up 2 weeks before
the class begins. Registration for classes close at Friday noon
before a new session begins. |
| Is Ultimate
Bootcamp BLAST for me? |
| |
BLAST participants must have a minimal
aerobic base and be able to jog one mile comfortably. If this
isn't you, an Ultimate Bootcamp
BASICS workout might be more appropriate. If you have prior
injuries or conditions that you think might limit your participation,
speak to your physician to see if becoming more physically active
by attending Ultimate Bootcamp is right for you. Let them know
that you'll be doing aerobic and anaerobic drills mixed with
medium to high impact exercises and muscle conditioning. |

conditioning class.
Ultimate Bootcamp BASICS is
geared towareds beginners and intermediate fitness levels

I just show up on Saturday? |
| |

| Is
there a place to leave my bags while we workout? |
| |
We travel throughout the parks and cannot
guarantee the safety of your belongings. Please bring as little
as possible with you to class. |
| What
do I need to bring to a BLAST or BASICS class? |
| |
Water is essential! It also helps to bring
a positive attitude, and a towel for your car or the train for
after class...you're gonna get dirty! |
| What
should I wear to class? |
| |
Dress in layers. While working out in the
summer or winter months, you will sweat a great deal. If you
wear a moisture-wicking shirt as your first layer, you’ll
be a lot more comfortable. Given that you’ll be working
out outdoors you might be asked to lie on your back on the grass
or be rolling around in agony- just kidding! So don’t
come dressed in your Sunday best! |
| What
kind of shoes should I wear? |
| |
You should be in a newer pair of athletic
shoes that are made specifically for your feet and the way you
walk/run. It all starts from the ground up, so being in the
appropriate pair of shoes will help protect your knees, shins,
and back from injury. Go to a knowledgeable shoe store where
they observe your stride and foot type before fitting you in
a pair of shoes. |
| I
just finished a class and 3 days later, I'm still sore! Is this
normal? |
| |
Your muscles don't care whether you've run
marathons, climbed mountains, or haven't worked out in 6 months,
Ultimate Bootcamp workouts are simply an activity your body
is not accustom to. Soreness can last up to 10 days after you
complete a Blast or Basics class. If this is your first Blast
or Basics class, you might want to work at 60% of your total
effort as 90 minutes of exercise is definitely a challenge.
|
| How
much water sould I be drinking? |
| |
You’d be surprised how easy it is
to dehydrate. Sweating during sleep (especially during the humid
months), drinking caffeinated liquids such as coffee, alcohol,
etc., and exercising are just some of the ways in which you
lower the body’s level of hydration. Make sure you’re
drinking at LEAST 65-70 fl. oz. of water throughout the day.
Try to remember the 40/40 rule – 40 oz. of water per 40
minutes of exercise; at least 8 before, 24 during, and 8 afterwards.
Sports drinks with electrolytes can be a good addition to your
water intake to help replenish potassium and calcium in your
body. If you’re unsure about your level of hydration,
check your urine – the darker it is, the more dehydrated
you are. |
