> Everyone I have ever known or seen that goes on one of those bootcamp style exercise programs loses dramatic weight. Every single person. I'm assuming you mean TV show. I doubt you know a great many people that go on an "exercise style bootcamp" personally... > Everyone I have ever known or seen that went to actual bootcamp loses dramatic weight too, whether be army or marines. Indeed because in basic training you don't get to pick your own meals and you're also limited to a set number of meals a day. Anyone would lose weight if someone else was controlling exactly what they could eat. > here's something about working your ass off everyday for an hour with resistance and cardio that works. Also the fact you think exercise contributes to significant weight loss (as opposed to diet changes, which do) suggest that you may not be very well informed in general. An hour of cardio is one Big Mac worth of calories. It is insignificant. |

They offer a bootcamp program at my office. I have a friend who is a personal trainer. I have relatives who have done bootcamp exercise programs. I drive by one of these every day and see people flipping tires.

You've obviously never trained hard for anything. At some point you can't consume enough calories to counter the metabolism jump from the hard-core training.

That's why I said "cardio and resistance", which you conveniently left off. Yes an hour on a stationary bike does very little, but an hour of intense physical exertion daily will transform a person.
