When you think of boot camp, you may imagine our military hard at work. Well, in some places, you can make that workout a fun experience at an outdoor boot camp for civilians.

If you’re a glutton for punishment, stop by Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale area, where a guy who calls himself the Health Colonel offers Beach Boot Camp at 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. on Saturdays.

These classes cost $15 each and devotees swear that it’s a healthy, fun way to hit the beach.

Or you can whip yourself into shape at the Bikini Boot Camp in Tulum, Mexico.

This six-night program starts at $1,675 and includes beach walks, body sculpting, and Pilates, with swimming and snorkeling in between.

And, if you want to incorporate a vacation into your exercise routine, check out the Blue Palace Resort & Spa on the island of Crete, where you’ll start your day with at least two hours of cardio.
