Bootcamp Workouts for any Fitness Level

Bootcamp workouts can be tailored to accommodate any fitness level. Here’s how:

1. Modifications and Variations: Exercises can be modified to make them easier or more challenging. For example, push-ups can be done on knees for beginners or with added weight for advanced participants.
2. Pacing and Intensity: Individuals can control their own pace and intensity. Beginners might start with shorter intervals and longer rest periods, while advanced participants can push harder with longer work intervals and shorter rests.
