A Women’s Only Boot Camp specifically designed to help overweight women get in shape while losing weight will begin 7:30-8:30 p.m. Jan. 28. At the initial class, participants will weigh, check their body-fat percentage and take body measurements. After the first class, the group will meet each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for six weeks. Each participant will have a one-on-one session with a registered dietician at McDowell Wellness Center. All campers will weigh in weekly and keep a food journal.

All sessions last six weeks and are comprised of exercises that are used to train military personnel.  These include push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, crunches, up-downs, walking and running.
