Each Boot Camp session is packed with a series of fun, ever-changing exercises created specifically to strengthen and increase your cardio fitness.

Hydrate two hours before class

Definitely bring water or a sports drink to class, but it's difficult to bounce around when your belly is full of liquid.

Enter with a good, can-do attitude

The workout will be challenging, but it's so important to continue to motivate yourself and keep your mind calm when your heart is racing and your muscles are burning. I try to smile and laugh to help release tension in my face.

Stay present, and listen to the instructor

If you concentrate on how much it hurts and how much you want to quit, you might forget the next sequence or next relay move. Actively focus your attention on the instructor, and you will distract yourself from the pain.

Remember your breath and your abs

Breathe through tough exercises, and simultaneously, be sure to contract your abs to protect your back. It may seem awkward and uncomfortable at first, but you will eventually train your body to breathe deeper while your abs are engaged.

Push yourself to stay up front

Be the first person in the relay race line; stand in the front of the room; and run towards the front of the jog line. Being last will make you feel lethargic and more prone to giving up.

Don't stop moving

If DOMS usually gets you down, challenge yourself to move around rather than take mini breaks. My boot camp instructor kept yelling at us to jog in place throughout the entire hour to prevent muscle soreness by sending fresh blood to the muscles.

Load up on electrolytes after

class.

Intense workouts and sweating cause you to lose essential electrolytes. Be sure to replenish them with an electrolyte-filled snack.
