I was 22 when I joined my first fitness bootcamp<\/a>, and it helped me tone up and increase my endurance immensely.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time, I was also working in a physically demanding job, so focusing on specific muscle groups to target and strengthen those muscles actually helped me be more efficient in my day job.<\/p>\n

How Much Bootcamp Costs<\/h3>\n

I am lucky, because my cousin\u00a0runs a fitness bootcamp. This allows me some discounts on the bootcamp depending on the time of year.<\/p>\n
