Operation Boot Camp’s 2010 Body Transformation Challenge Comes To Smyrna

With the new year just a few weeks away, it’s time to start thinking about your New Year’s resolutions. If losing weight and getting in shape is a top priority in 2010, Operation Boot Camp’s (OBC’s) 2010 Body Transformation Challenge is a great place to start.

Voted the #1 Boot Camp by SmyrnaVinings.com and Atlanta Sports & Fitness Magazine, OBC’s newest challenge gives an extra boost to OBC’s usual fitness regime of outdoor exercise sessions at local parks. Contestants must participate for two consecutive camps for a total of 60 days beginning January 4. Contestants will have their body fat measured at the beginning, middle and end of those 60 days. The contestant who loses the highest percentage of relative body fat will receive $1,000 in prizes, while the second-place winner will receive $500 worth of prizes, including gift cards to local restaurants, spas and chiropractors, and boot camps passes, among other vendors.

The challenge will take place with participating camps in Smyrna-Vinings, Rhyne Park and Cumberland. Like the regular boot camp, it is a co-ed program for all fitness levels that provides nutritional guidance throughout the duration.
