When you hear the term 'boot camp' do you imagine a big army bloke shouting at you to do more press-ups and decide it's the last thing you would want to do? Not all boot camps are like this anymore and I believe they are a fantastic way for women to get fitter and healthier.

As their popularity has grown, so has the number of types of boot camp available. Some are advertised as military style, some are for all the family, and at fitandhappy in Edinburgh, ours are WOMEN ONLY.

Here are my top 5 reasons why I think women should join their local boot camp:

1. Get fitter.
There are many ways to get fitter but exercising outside uses more calories due to the changing terrain and wind resistance.

2. Get healthier.
Scientists do not yet know why, but their research has proved that people who spend some time outside everyday walking or exercising, seem to have a healthier immune system.

3. Be happier.
Exercising boosts endorphins that make us feel good and also help reduce stress.

4. Laugh and make friends.
Running or going ...
... to the gym can be lonely if you are by yourself. Joining an exercise class like a boot camp will mean you are supported and encouraged by a group of like-minded people. At our fitandhappy boot camp, we are always welcoming, friendly and supportive. There is usually lots of laughter in our classes while we work hard.

5. Lose weight.
Whether you wish to lose weight, get more toned, gain strength or find your core, the exercises at a boot camp can help with all of these things. The exercises are tailored for each individual's level of fitness so you will be able to join in even if you are feeling a bit unfit.

Go on...join your local boot camp and find out how much fitter and healthier you feel after a few months. Many of my clients also tell me that they are more confident and feel more confident about their bodies.
