Boot Camp And Adapting Different Ideas

At one point in time, the military coined the phrase boot camp, derived from the footwear that is given to military trainees, and used it to describe the training process of becoming a soldier. It was measured from the time the recruit arrived at training camp, underwent weeks of training and finally graduated as a soldier. In more recent times, the phrase has been used to describe any number of "training" venues.

While there are many different meanings of the term boot camp, they all seem to have a common thread: hard work and don't talk back.

It seems that programs, such as a Fat Camp in general are available to overweight individuals who have been unsuccessful in losing weight with solitary dieting. This type of program employs strict routines and rigorously filled timetables that were formally only associated with the military. Perhaps this implies that these types of base camp environments can help those who may be unable to help themselves.

There are many conflicting opinions on the subject as to whether this type juvenile training will turn out a well adjusted, socially adept "happy camper," or is it only a temporary solution at best.
