- High-Calorie Burn: The combination of cardiovascular exercises and strength training in Bootcamp classes can lead to significant calorie burn, making it an effective option for weight management.
- Variety and Challenge: Bootcamps often vary the exercises and routines, preventing workout plateaus and keeping participants engaged. The challenging nature of the workouts helps push boundaries and achieve fitness goals.
