beachbody (les mills) pump: hard core abs & body balance

[Guest guest]

today i did beachbody pump 'hard core abs' which is a 20 min

routine done on the floor. the male instructor seemed

feminine... i liked him but it was quite the contrast when

they switched the lead over to dan with his bald head and

tattoos... dan is my new boyfriend

anyway, i enjoyed the routine but i had to modify the spiderman

pushups and side planks. :( anything that puts my full body

weight on only one shoulder or side is asking for trouble. i

love doing those exercises though so someday i will try them

again... but i know that now is not a good time. overall id

rate this workout at the intermediate level, although there is a

beginner modification for everything.

after abs i did les mills 'body balance' release 43. the usual

body balance lady was there, cant remember her name, and as usual

she was right into the routine. one of the instructors with her

was from canada and it was fun to hear her accent among those

from new zealand. body balance is about 50 mins of yoga followed

by about 10 mins relaxation period at the end, during which i

think i fell asleep. they split the practice into sections

(songs), each led by a different person and each having a

different focus. overall it was a good routine but did seem long.

i wasnt feeling so hot when i started my workout today but

afterward i felt alot better. should be able to get a walk

done tonight no probs, thunderstorms are over now.
