A weight loss boot camp is a place where a people participate in a tough regime of diet and exercise with the aim of losing weight. They are particularly relevant in the home of Hollywood where the pressure to stay slim is even stronger and parodies of the concept have even been turned into TV shows such as VH1's Celebrity Fit Club. Boot camps are popular as exercising in a group helps to keep motivation up, allowing individuals to achieve greater fitness goals.
The Concept
By taking you out of your home environment, a weight loss boot camp aims not just to make you a fitter person during your stay, but to change your lifestyle completely. In Los Angeles (LA), Camp Technique will help you break bad eating habits and tackle mental issues behind overeating as well as engage you in fitness and diet activities to help you stay slim in the long term. To do this, you will talk with a nutritionist and a psychologist as well as workout with a coach.
Part Time Camps
If you live in LA and don't have the money or time to enroll in a full-time weight loss camp, then for an hour a day you can get the boot camp experience by joining Boot Camp LA. Boot Camp LA offers tough training sessions in George C. Page Park, Los Angeles, including cardio, strength and stretching exercises. Sessions start from 6 in the morning and under the supervision of your coach, "The Major," they'll be no slacking at the back of the class.
Weight Loss Camps for Kids
LA also has a choice of weight loss camps for children. Camps such as Camp La Jolla located just outside of LA aim to help children lose weight not through forced exercise but through outdoor activities such as hiking and surfing. Food is also restricted to 1,200 calories a day, helping the weight loss process. The service is available for children and young people between 8 and 25 years old.
Weight Loss Camps for Women
Exercise can sometimes be a little embarrassing; you're hot, you're sweaty and you're not looking your best. Some women prefer not to exercise in front of the opposite sex, which is why women-only weight loss camps are also growing in popularity. In Los Angeles camps that offer fitness facilities exclusively for women include Live in Fitness Enterprise, which offer activities including hikes, bike rides, swimming, kayaking as well as weight training and traditional cardio exercises.
Long-term Benefits
Many people who attend weight loss camps come out feeling fitter, slimmer and healthier. Because you are with a group of people who share the same goals, and/or suffer from the same issues with weight, many campers remain life-long friends. The long-term benefits of the camps, however, are up to the individual. Councilors will show you what to eat and how to exercise, but if you want to make lasting improvements to your health these changes to your lifestyle must be permanent.
