There are many different reasons that people have for joining fitness bootcamp training. Some do it for to feel better and live a more active lifestyle, some to re-shape their body, some for fat burning and muscle toning while others just do it to remain in good shape.

What is YOUR number one reason for joining a Calgary Fitness Bootcamp?  I have compiled a few tips that will help you get the best results. Following these tips will get you in shape much faster than you ever thought possible..

1. Write down your Goals. Write down clear specific fitness goals you expect from your bootcamp training. These will help you stay motivated.  Remember, all of your goals should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented and Attainable, Realistic, and Time-sensitive).

2. Eat right for your metabolic type.

Everybody has unique nutritional needs that change regularly based on our activity levels, metabolic type, and our physical environment.  This is the primary reason that regular “diets” will work for some people (for a short time), but not others.

The expert coaches at Calgary Fitness Bootcamp will teach you how to optimize your nutrition for any situation that life throws at you.  no more counting calories, weighing food, or crazy fad diets!  just sensible eating habits that are flexible enough to adapt with you and your needs.

3. Be CONSISTENT! whether it is nutrition, exercise, sleep habits, or any of the other lifestyle changes that you have made, being consistent with your behaviour is the most important thing you can do.

Small changes applied over the long term can produce enormous results.  Big changes are great too and will work for some people, but the problem is that many are not sustainable.  use SMART goal setting, and continually re-evaluate the direction of your progress throughout your journey

4. Work Hard & Challenge yourself. during each session you trainer at Calgary Fitness Bootcamp will ensure that you are motivated to put in a great effort.  However, you will also need challenge yourself physically and mentally to get outside your comfort zone within and outside your sessions.

5. Rest Hard & Recover Properly. give your body the chance to repair itself.  get 8 hours sleep, do your exercise and recovery “homework” between sessions to keep your body and mind energized for Calgary bootcamp training.

6. It’s all about YOU. your body composition, its physical limits, and your reasons for attending are different than every other participant. While comparisons for friendly competition and challenge are OK at times, it is counterproductive to base your happiness and progress on what other people are doing.  Map out your goals, give 100 % to your training, be consistent with your changes and you will be in complete control of your own results!  The team at Calgary fitness Bootcamp will provide the motivation, direction, and encouragement along the way!

7. Keep a track of your progress. it is important for motivation and accountability to track your progress.  We start with an initial assessment and provide regular updates.  Tracking other progress on your own is also helpful.  Things like nutrition, sleep habits, and performance in your life activities will provide you with added mental fuel to keep going.

8. Learn to be Disciplined. As mentioned above, consistency is the main key to results.  Being disciplined means teaching yourself to stick to your plan on a minute to minute and daily basis.  Temptations will be everywhere and it will be easy to fall back into unhealthy routines.  Remind yourself of why you are making changes and what you need to do to make those changes (we will provide that information).  Then take action consistently and in the face of those daily challenges.  This is what sets successful people apart from those who WISH things, but never accomplish them.

You are guaranteed to get amazing results from your Calgary Fitness Bootcamp if you follow the above steps.
