USMC FITNESS BOOT CAMP is an outdoor, Marine Corps style, boot camp fitness program for ANYONE at any fitness level. Anyone means YOU, recruit! The members of USMC FITNESS BOOT CAMP come from every walk of life, every fitness level, and every size and shape! We’ve got couch potatoes to conditioned athletes! And about 65% of recruits are women! So there's NO excuse! YOU can do this!!!
The workouts are patterned after the same fitness program used by the United States Marine Corps' Recruit Training at Parris Island, SC. You'll do exercises like what you'd expect: push ups, sit ups, side-straddle hops and lots of brand new exercises that you'll learn! What if you haven't done a push up since you were in high school? No problem. You'll pace yourself and do as much as you can while we're doing these exercises. No one will talk bad about your momma or call you a maggot! You'll also do calorie/fat burning cardio workouts that will help you lose more weight in less time!

WHAT TO BRING TO BOOT CAMP
Everyday bring a towel and or an exercise mat to use for stretching. On "weight days" you'll need to bring a pair of dumbbells ... usually a set of 5 pounders for women and a set of 10 pounders for men ... to start with. A good pair of running shoes is a must, even if you're a walker and not a runner. And you should ALWAYS bring a positive "CAN DO!" attitude!
