If you're thinking fatigues, fades, army boots and
a militant leader, think again. This is boot camp
Detroit-style. Motivation here comes from grit,
not a bunch of screaming and yelling.
Motor City Bootcamp is a unique,outdoor fitness
program that meets five days a week, month in
and month out.
No matter what your fitness level, expect to
improve performance through a variety of
activities ranging from boot camp-style circuit
training, speed and agility drills, running and
boxing.
All participants are expected to take 2 fitness
tests and random body fat tests during the
session.
The sessions meet Monday - Friday at 5:30 a.m.

Base Layer
No matter what material your base layer is made of, it should cover as much skin as
possible without being too bulky. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester and polypropylene,
are designed to wick sweat from the skin without absorbing it. Wool absorbs the moisture
vapor generated between your skin and the fabric as you sweat but keeps you warmer than
cotton when wet.
Thermal Layer
Like an extra blanket on your bed, a good thermal layer traps body heat without adding
bulk. A thermal layer can come in a variety of forms, from a heavyweight half-zip shirt to a
cushy microfleece pullover. This layer should be made of synthetic or wool fabrics (avoid
cotton) to continue the moisture-wicking process started at the base layer.
Outer Layer
For your final line of defense, look for a lightweight jacket that won't change into a sauna
midway through a run. Your water-resistant shell should keep light rain and snow at bay
and regulate your temperature by allowing excess warmth to escape through vents. Switch
to a fully waterproof jacket when the weather gets really fierce.
Always Remember
Hat and gloves! Your body loses the majority of it's heat through your head. The first place it
will use to regain that lost heat are your extremities - hands and feet!
When exercising outdoors in the winter, you should always start out a little bit cold. If you
start out and you're already warm, you're wearing too much!
