Boot Camps

Boot Camps and what you should know about them.

Every summer I see Boot Camps advertised everywhere.

Couple things to keep in mind with outdoor Boot Camps. The person running the Boot Camp, are they certified and insured to do so? The place they are having the Boot Camp, do they have permission from the owner? Ask to see in writing what they answer to these questions.

And last but not least, tires are not meant to be flipped over to workout with. Nor are sledge hammers meant to be swung to get a workout. Ask the manufactures of them or the people who sell them and they will tell you, NO THEY ARE NOT. What you see on TV and what you should do in real life are not the same. If something does not feel safe please do not do it.

I would be happy to answer any questions, just email me at Pondeli@Pondeli.com or leave questions in the comment section below.  Always consult your Physician before you workout.
