I did one of these once. I thought I was going to die or throw up. Or die then throw up. Then they made me continue. Then I nearly died. Then I woke up the next morning and thought I was actually dead. But then I realised that as I felt every single muscle in my body and they all felt like they were on fire then I must still be alive and was being tortured instead.

Good luck though!

Bootcamps are designed for those that are not in shape-So no one is too overweight to do it..What they might ask is that you have the green light from your GP to take part...

Maybe you could start with walking lots first and build up your strength and stamina then go to boot camp.

The one I go to does 20 min classes. You can go for 1 class at a time.... or do 2, 3 or more.

Theres people there at all different fitness levels. Best thing is to give it a try.

I've taken part in bootcamp style exercise classes when I worked withthe military, they are fully qualified & if you throw up, then so be it, they will not laugh, but they will push you further when you think that you can't do anymore. And it doesn't matter how big you are I'm sure you will be welcomed & they will work with you to get the weight off & fitter.

Good luck Honey, go & prove to yourself you can do it but be prepared to ache in places you never knew existed.

No you won't. It should cater for all fitness levels, and as long as you push yourself to the best of your own ability. you will benefit from it. Why not check if they do a beginner's class.

And don't worry about being sick, just means your giving it ya all

if they laugh at you when you throw up that would be the warning sign to leave the camp and not return

the coaches job is to build your confidence and fitness and not take the piss

why dont you start with walking, then walking faster, then further before you do a camp and that way it wont come as such a huge shock
