Personally I think THIS is the key - good, healthy food and fueling our bodies properly for what we demand from them - otherwise we set ourselves up in other ways. My group training sessions are intense but are a different mix of activities from what I've seen of the boot camp classes at my gym at least. They are either centered around strength training and Olympic lifting OR around the crazy wild stuff we do - of course there is always a dynamic warmup and some level of metabolic conditioning at the end.

I try to only weigh once a week these days - basically to keep a check on myself. My current focus is to change my body composition and not to worry so much about the number on the scale (I say that like it is easy to not worry about that number) - and it is hard to lose body fat AND gain muscle at the same time. I don't think that is easy at any age, but certainly more difficult at 50+. That is ok, I am having a lot of fun working at it - and while I've not gained much lean muscle mass I AM losing body fat.

Does your boot camp feature a lot of running? The boot camp classes at my gym does - far more than what we do.
