Beginners Class Have fun - "Release" fat fast!

REGISTER HERE Beginners Boot Camp classes meet at Beechwood Elementary School in Fullerton, just on the border of Brea (Bastanchury & Brea Blvd).  Keep in mind all of our regular boot camp classes are suitable for 99% of most women.  If you haven't done much more than walk around the block for as long as you can remember, we offer modified low-impact versions of all exercises.   NEW EVENING CLASSES! 6:30 to 7:30 P.M. Monday - Thursday click for map Email: Suzanne@breabootcamp.com with any questions. We now have a Beginners Boot Camp "option" for ladies with special limitations or concerns about being able to keep up with a regular boot camp class.  If you sign up for the "Beginners" class, you will meet at the regular class location.  The entire class will do the warm-up together, then the new people and beginners will be divided from the regular class and walk over to the beginners' area and taken through the basics by a separate instructor. Your instructor will lead you through some fun but modified exercises for the first two weeks. It is recommended that you work at your own pace and stop if you feel lightheaded or nauseated.  However, this is completely normal during the first week, especially if you have not participated in exercise in a long...long time!   Many of our "regular" boot campers experience this for a few days each session.  Remember, you will progress very quickly and should feel wonderful (albeit a bit sweaty) by the second week.  It simply means you are working hard and most of the blood that is normally being shuttled to your head is doing extra duty somewhere else, like your thighs!  It takes time to build up a solid level of physical fitness. The key to achieving this goal is to keep a positive attitude and train regularly, and only then will you experience the many rewards. After your first class, you have the option of continuing with the beginners for the remainder of the first two weeks, until you're ready to join the regular class, or you may choose to move to the "regular" boot camp class at any time. In the third and fourth weeks you will meet with the rest of the class - but don't worry! - your instructor will continue to be on hand to help you with any questions or modifications.  You will have fun, enjoy the energy of a large class, and continue to modify any exercises that you are not quite ready to do.  We know you will progress quickly and have found that the "mainstreamed" beginners tend to push themselves just a little bit harder (it's that competitive spirit) and progress rapidly.  Get ready for results!  Since eating clean and frequently will double your results and is 80% of your success in any program, we recommend you purchase the book, "The Eat Clean Diet," by Tosca Reno.  Fascinating - you'll love it! We will use all of the standard boot camp gear, such as medicine balls, resistance bands, jump ropes, agility ladders and even weighted hula hoops! Remember, there are low-impact modifications for all exercises.  You do not have to run or jump if you're not ready, but we will encourage you to "break a sweat" and get out of your comfort level.  This is a safe and effective way to melt fat fast!  Almost anyone, at any age, can do some type of physical activity. You can still exercise even if you have a health condition like heart disease or diabetes. In fact, physical activity may help. For most older adults, brisk walking, riding a bike, swimming, weight lifting, and gardening are safe, especially if you build up slowly. But, check with your doctor if you are over 55 and you aren’t used to energetic activity. Other reasons to check with your doctor before you exercise include: any new symptom you haven’t discussed with your doctor dizziness or shortness of breath chest pain or pressure, or the feeling that your heart is skipping, racing, or fluttering blood clots an infection or fever with muscle aches unplanned weight loss foot or ankle sores that won’t heal joint swelling a bleeding or detached retina, eye surgery, or laser treatment a hernia recent hip surgery Safety Tips Here are some things you can do to make sure you are exercising safely: Start slowly, especially if you haven’t been active for a long time. Little by little build up your activities and how hard you work at them. Don’t hold your breath during strength exercises. That could cause changes in your blood pressure. It may seem strange at first, but you should exhale, or breathe out, as you lift something, and inhale, or breathe in, as you relax. Always have a professional help you purchase the right shoes for walking or jogging.  We highly recommend The Running Lab in Orange for your first fitting. They provide a "free" professional fitting with all of their shoes, and will spend 30 to 45 minutes making sure you have the right support for your feet.  Finding the right shoe is so much more extensive and important than just having your foot measured for size and finding something you think is cute.  Most knee and foot pain, as well as shin splints, are directly related to improper shoes.  Please make this a priority - you'll be glad you did! Unless your doctor has asked you to limit fluids, be sure to drink plenty when you are doing activities. Many older adults don’t feel thirsty even if their body needs fluids. Always bend forward from the hips, not the waist. If you keep your back straight, you’re probably bending the right way. If your back “humps,” that’s probably wrong. Warm up your muscles before you stretch. Try walking and light arm pumping first. Questions?  info@breabootcamp.com REGISTER HERE 5-day campers make double progress!  YOU CAN DO IT! More Questions?
