Boot Camp Starter Kit

Having worked in a health club for over 5 years I can't begin to tell you how many times I heard complaints about the equipment, lack of equipment, type of equipment, or the condition of the equipment. If they have said it, then I have heard it.

I have a firm belief that the reason many of these items end up in such a horrid state is they don't belong to the user! Think about it for a second. Wouldn't you take better care of something that is yours? At every Boot Camp we supply all the tools, motivation and knowledge you need to get the most out of workout.

To further expand the workout and to make it more fun and engaging their are a few items that each camper should invest in to keep with them for every camp.

We will call it the Boot Camp Starter Kit.

Each of these pieces of equipment will only add a new spin to each and every high-intensity fat burning workout.

1. Foam Roll - For pre and post workout self-massage and soft tissue repair from those intense workouts.


2. Dumbbells - The Neoprene Dumbbells are easier on the hands and very portable. Women should use 5-10lbs. and Men 10-15lbs.



3. Yoga Mat - As we perform many core exercises while on our hands or in a supine position lying on our back. A yoga mat will provide you with softer support while performing these exercise. You can also pick up a yoga mat at any sporting goods store like Dicks Sporting Goods in Canton at The Shoppes at Farmington Valley.

4. Stability Ball - This great function tool will be used for various core and glute exercises. These can be purchased at a Dicks Sporting Goods as well or if you want the best click on the picture.






5. Resistance Band - There are many "resistance bands" out there. But by far the Dave Schmitz has created the most durable resistance band out there. Pick one up for only $12.00!!!!!!
