Setting Up Camp

Jatin Arora, founder and head trainer, Boot Camp Yellow, decodes the trend of boot camps that’s taken fitness enthusiasts around the world by storm.

EVERYONE WANTS TO BE FIT and healthy today, even when you’re on the move. While there are several popular paths you can follow to achieve your fitness goals, there is always the fear that the exercise will not be intense enough and motivation levels will dip. Enter boot camps. These fitness programmes are all the rage because they work on every muscle group, can be performed anywhere, don’t require much equipment, and combine two factors that are of utmost importance to those who want to stay healthy—exercise and nature.

WHAT ARE BOOT CAMPS?

Before we delve deeper into the subject, let’s understand what boot camps are. To be honest, they literally kick your boot. Boot camps usually swear by intense workouts—focussing on your strength and conditioning—and are designed to push a person beyond his or her physical and mental limits. They reinforce a sense of community, which pushes people to stretch their limits further. These outdoor training sessions are an affordable, efficient, and intense yet fun way to lose those extra pounds and get back in shape.
