Plyometric Exercises Are Not for Everyone
I don't want to go off on a rant, but I have to say that some of the "bootcamp classes" I see being taught are just downright dangerous.
If you are just starting out on a fitness program, it's a good idea to start with the fundamentals and basics. This will allow you to correct your movement patterns and ensure you are using good form.
However, some of these bootcamps take you right to an advanced level where they are performing way too many sets, reps, and plyometric-type jumping exercises. Unless you are a seasoned athlete or an advanced exerciser, doing a lot of movements that require that kind of stress on your joints aren't healthy.
If you ever feel like your instructor is pushing your body too hard, it's best that you either look for another class or refrain from doing that particular exercise. It's always better to "live again to workout another day," since if you get sidelined from an injury that will seriously affect your weight loss efforts.
Stay safe and stay strong!
