With a name like boutique boot camp, you would think this weight loss & fitness week would be more about jacuzzi’s than jogging.
For those who’ve perhaps over indulged in the Christmas pudding over the festive period and really don’t want to try the red and green cabbage diet for a forth year running, there’s a new way to lose weight – fitness boot camp.
However according to Lisa Allardice writing in the Guardian, any idea that you can simply sit around in a jacuzzi spa and the weight will drop off might be more fairytale than fact.
Until someone invents that weight loss pill which isn’t advertised in your e-mail inbox, you do have to work for the weight loss and overall fitness, but with bootcamp’s such as those run by “No 1 Boot Camp” in Norfolk, this time it might actually work.
The camp in question isn’t some reconstruction of a 1940s army training ground. You do get a comfy bed and are fed top quality food by chefs who previously worked at the Oxo Tower Restaurant so perhaps it’s not all bad – certainly better than that cabbage diet!
As Lisa points out however, you do need to exercise and to lose several pounds in a week, that generally involves quite a bit of exercise including early mornings. The instructors are former Royal Marines and Royal Navy physical training instructors so they know what they’re doing, but do promise to be nicer than Harvey from ITV’s Fat Club.
So is it worth all the time invested? If you’re serious about losing weight or getting fitter then according to those mad soul’s who’ve done it, yes seems to be the answer.
