Do you need to be fit to attend a Bootcamp program?

No, that’s why you have come to us. The course has been designed to challenge all fitness levels, from ‘Couch Potatoes’ to elite athletes. At the commencement of each program you will be required to complete a Basic Fitness Assessment (BFA). Your Instructors will use the results of this BFA to separate the group into ‘Sections’, grouping together individuals of a similar fitness level.

What type of results can I expect from Bootcamp?

Bootcamp achieves significant improvements in the following areas in as early as two weeks:

• Fat Loss
• Muscle Tone
• Muscular Endurance
• Agility
• Cardio-vascular Endurance
• Muscular Strength
• Speed

 What makes Succeed  Bootcamp different to other so called ‘Boot Camp’ programs?

Succeed Bootcamp is the ‘Real Deal’.

The secrets to Succeed Bootcamp success are simple:

• We GUARANTEE results
• You will achieve measurable results in the first 4 weeks
• Every single session will challenge you, not only physically, but often mentally & emotionally
• Bootcamp programs are periodised, meaning that every single session requires you to work harder than the last

 How much does Succeed Bootcamp cost?

Bootcamp program costs less than $15 per session or $35 per week.

This includes 12 - 36 physical training sessions (depends on the program), your Bootcamp  t-shirt, drink bottle, pre and post health screening and fitness testing.

Imagine achieving better results for less than a boring gym membership where you are on your own…

Also, return Bootcampers receive a discount on all additional courses.

Who instructs Succeed Bootcamp?

Bootcamp is Instructed by Australasia’s only fully qualified organization of ‘BOOTCAMP INSTRUCTORS’.

These Instructors undergo a rigorous training camp and assessment, administered by Motivate to Train Organisation under Fitness Australia regulations.

 What do I need to bring with me to Bootcamp?

When you enlist in Bootcamp you will receive your own Bootcamp t-shirt, which you are to wear to each and every session..

In addition, you will need to dress in comfortable running shorts or tights, and shoes

To each session you should bring the following:

• A windcheater or jumper (to put on before you warm up, and after you have finished training)
• A towel
• A bottle of water. (Be sure to hydrate properly the day before you train, as it is too late to try and do it once you start the session)
• Asthma puffer if required

 Once I commence a The Bootcamp program, can I receive a refund if I need to stop?

No refunds will be given after course commencement. To enquire about the possibility of putting your enlistment on hold, you should speak to one of the Succeed Directors.

Welcome to Succeed Bootcamp!

 Before you embark on the 12 week program, there are a few procedures and pointers that will make the ‘transition period’ a little smoother and less of a shock to the system.

 Getting up early

 If your body is not accustomed to early rises, then this is generally the biggest adjustment you will have to make. After all, it has been said that “80% of success is just showing up!”.

 In the weeks preceding the start of Bootcamp, try getting up at 5.45 and doing some gentle exercise (see point below for more on this) - this will start to get your body accustomed to the early starts and activity levels.

 Remember, our brains (and therefore our bodies) operate on routine and habit - the sooner these habits can be created the better!

 Get Moving

 Just like the early starts, it is important that you commence (if you are not already doing regular exercise) some light activity over the next few weeks. This will help get your body into the habit of exercising and again make the ‘transition phase’ a lot easier.

 Light activity can include:

• Walking
• Light jog
• Bike ride

 Fluid Intake

 It is vital that you replace the fluids that you lose whilst exercising. Like the two points above, drinking plenty of water is a habit that needs to be established if it is not already.

 Aim to drink at least one glass of water before leaving for Bootcamp, and always ensure that you have a full drink bottle with you. Consume water at every rest break you are given, and then aim to have another two glasses of water before you go to work.

 Should I eat breakfast before or after Bootcamp?

 Eating before exercising first thing in the morning is something that is different for everyone. Some people find they can’t function without some food in their stomach, whilst others find that they feel nauseous if they do eat.

 In the week leading up to Bootcamp, try both methods and work out what is best for you. When you do eat, choose light foods that will not sit heavily in your stomach, such as:

• Yoghurt
• Banana
• Toast

 See how your body responds whilst you perform your exercise. Based on this, you will have a plan of attack for Bootcamp week 1!

The answers to a few of the questions that you may have!!

 1) Should I have breakfast before I do Bootcamp?

· This will vary from person to person. As a general recommendation I would suggest you try to do do Bootcamp on an empty stomach. The reason being is that you are more likely to burn more calories from fat after being asleep for several hours. If you eat first, you will have to burn the calories from the food consumed before you will start burning fat calories.

· In saying that, if after a few Bootcamps you feel ill or get light headed during the sessions, it will be best for you to have something light to eat about 30-40 mins prior to commencing Bootcamp (ie maybe a piece of wholemeal bread or a piece of fruit).

2) Do I really need to eat breakfast at all?

· YES YOU DO!!!

· Having breakfast helps get the metabolism going, & keeps you leaner

· You will be less likely to over indulge in the following meals.

 3) Should I minimize or cut out carbohydrates?

· No you should not cut out carbohydrates. Our body and brain require X amount of carbohydrates a day to function properly.

· What we do require and lack is portion control of carbohydrates.

4) Should I reduce Carbohydrates as the da goeys on?

· Yes you should consume more carbohydrates earlier in the day but not totally cut them out(portion control)

· Timing of our carbohydrates is very important. Try to focus the main intake of carbohydrates around your training time to replace glycogen stores.

Tips

 Always have a nutritious breakfast

· Don’t skip meals

· Eat 4-5 smaller meals, rather than 2 or 3 large ones

· Always watch portion sizes of all foods.

· Always consume a protein source at each meal as this will keep you feeling fuller for longer.

· Limit sugar intake. Your body can only consume 2 teaspoons at one sitting.

· Always choose wholemeal options of carbohydrates. Wholemeal has a lower Glycemic Index count, which means it will give you a sustained energy release for a longer period of time.

· When you get emotional, try to exercise rather than eat. You need to re train your sub conscious mind away from emotional eating(most people’s biggest downfall).

 Drink water continually throughout the day. Minimum of 2lt per day. Always be sure rehydrate after Bootcamp/exercise.

· Be consistent with your eating and training. A spasmodic approach will really slow down your progess.
