Dinky Hand WeightsIf you look around at all the various boot camp programs in Vancouver, you’ll see that almost all of them require participants to bring their own light hand weights to each workout. The problem with dinky hand weights it that they do not allow for the most important component of a results focussed exercise program: progression.

How are you supposed to progress when you’re limited to just using 5 lb hand weights? Simple. You can’t. Towards the end of the workout program, you’ll still be lifting the same dinky hand weights that you were lifting at the beginning of the program. Dinky hand weight workouts simply do not allow for the progression needed to see significant results from your exercise efforts.

At my Vancouver boot camp program, we provide a wide variety of resistance bands that offer anywhere from 5 lbs to upwards of 100 lbs of resistance. This means that as you get fitter and stronger during the workout program, you can continue to challenge yourself by progressing towards much more difficult levels of resistance. When you see real progression in your fitness during the workout program, you will also see real progress towards your fat-burning and muscle-toning goals.

So if you’re looking for a quality boot camp in Vancouver that produces real results, steer clear of any prorgram that says you need to bring dinky hand weights to each workout.
