Outdoor Fitness Boot Camps Are Helping New Hampshire Shape Up – The Fast and Fun Way.

April 20, 2008 - PRLog -- Epsom, NH    A local personal trainer is telling people the best way to lose weight and get in shape is to stop going to the gym – and get outside.  Dean Carlson, owner of Cr8 Health & Fitness and creator of the Get Fit NH Boot Camp, sees a real problem with the typical gym routine.  “What it comes down to is results”, explains Carlson, a certified professional fitness trainer and former high school coach. “People want to find a weight loss and fitness solution that works for them. When that doesn’t happen, they stop going to the gym.”

Carlson goes on to say that there are some fundamental reasons why his Fitness Boot Camps get results when other programs don’t. “There is more to losing weight and getting fit than just getting on a machine and going through the motions. Boot Camp has three essential components:

       1. The optimal exercise mix: cardiovascular exercise burns calories during the session, and the lean muscle-building strength training helps increase metabolism, which causes the body to burn more overall calories throughout the day. A proper warm-up and flexibility component helps keep joints healthy.

       2. The optimal nutrition mix: traditional dieting causes the body’s metabolism to slow dramatically to conserve fuel for energy. It’s unhealthy and usually results in the “yo-yo” effect we hear about, where the body gains back more than we lost. Our guidelines show how to fuel the body throughout the day with a variety of healthy foods, keeping the metabolism high. It’s a more effective and enjoyable way to eat.

       3. The optimal information, motivation and emotional support: people need the right information, guidance, and a little – or sometimes a lot – of external motivation and support to achieve their weight loss and fitness goals. The boot camp instructor provides the information and motivation, and the other participants provide the emotional support.”

Get Fit NH Boot Camp recruits sign a “Training Agreement”, where they contract to attend every session, be supportive of and help each other, and have a positive attitude. In return, Coach Carlson guarantees that at the end of four weeks they will be stronger, have more energy, and overall fitness will be drastically improved.

“No other type of fitness training offers all the elements of a boot camp. The energy and teamwork created by the group, personal coaching by qualified instructors, and challenge and variety of training outdoors all contribute to a positive experience. People are sick and tired of the hype and misinformation that surrounds the weight loss and fitness industry. All they want is something that will finally get them results. Get Fit NH Boot Camp is no-nonsense, practical for anyone, and gets results regardless of an individual’s fitness level or age. It’s fun, very social, and gives people an opportunity to begin or end their day with a positive personal victory, “explains Coach Carlson
