body pump-blog post

[Guest guest]

yesterday i was very sore so i just took a day off to do some baking

and last minute food/gift shopping as well as visit my brother in law

for his 12th b-day.

this morning however had to be back to business. this week i wanted to do body pump and other les mills

workouts i friend of mine had given me. yes yes i know instructors are

only allowed these workouts and they can lose their les mills license

for the workouts but we have nothing in our area and it would be nice

to try them out and to see if i can't push to get something in my area.

anyway i did body pump 64. and its broken into tracks. each music track

works a different muscle group(ie legs/quads, back, chest,

legs/hamstrings,etc etc) with various tempos in your sets(like 2up2down

then 2 singles, 3-1 tempo, and the ever so super slow 4-1 tempo as well

as some low-end holds). the music is kickin' and the instructors are

vibrant and motivating. my issue is that i tend to think of this like

any other workout and its not. i simply cannot handle the same weight

for ALL reps as i would in other workouts. i really need to learn to

lighten a little more before i kill myself LOL. i wound up not doing

all the reps/sets b/c my weight was just a little to heavy to do so.

but for what i did i am shakin' fiercly and pretty sure i will be sore

again tomorrow. kind of wish the instructors would make their way here

LOL. if there is anybody that can motivate its the master trainers les

mills has to make these videos!! and the class is QUITE diverse from

men/women, young/old, and all ethnic backgrounds. really makes for a

fun workout but also a very humbling workout. this is quite toughter

then even some of my cathe's IMO!!

so its worth a look if you have a class in your area for sure and

hopefully other instructors are as pumped as these guys are!

off for more baking!
