Body Pump
 

If there is another thread about Les Mill's Body Pump, then I am sorry. I tried the search button and it isn't working out. I love my class!!! I go Tuesdays and Thursdays. I used to go on Saturdays, but it is at like 8 am and that is a tad early for my weekend. I love the music, I like the intensity. I am sweating like crazy when I come out of there.

I've been doing it since the end of January and I definitely notice a difference. My quads are rock hard. My arms appear to flap less. lol My biceps are a bit more noticeable. My endurance and stamina are much better, too. I love the way I feel when I leave the class. I was definitely nervous when I first took it, but I am sooooo glad I did. :carrot: Any other Body Pumpers here?

Oh ME!!! I love BodyPump. In fact, I went today!
I feel so buff when I'm in the class. :strong: :lifter: Hehe.
If I do a BodyPump class followed by BodyStep, I feel like Wonder Woman!

Yep! I love Body Pump :)

I was also there this morning - Must be keen too since it was at 6:10am lol and its already freezing in the wee hours and pitch black!

I have definitely noticed a huge difference since I started going in January. I used to do just a lot of cardio and body weight squats, lunges etc at bootcamp a bit of boxing/kick boxing but Pump has definitely stepped it up a notch.

I try and do the class at least 3 times a week :)

YAY!! So glad I am not the only one! Body Step? Do you like that better than Body Pump? I went to his website and there are like 6 different types of classes. My gym only offers Body Pump and Body Combat. I've never taken the combat class, though. Have you tried it? Let me know how it is! :D

Lyria - You are DEFINITELY dedicated going in at 6:10. I complain about 8:30 on Saturday morning. lol I commend you! You're right. Pump has stepped it up a notch.

I do the Bodu Combat class - it's great fun :) I was such an unko to start with though lol, I had NO balance and kept nearly falling over on some of the kicks :P

I'd enjoyed the boxing aspect of boot camp so Body Combat was a given for me to try. I also like Boxfit (but I don't think that is Les Mills) and RPM (or spin) which is great...although our gym also has a "Ride" class which is a LOT harder than a normal RPM - the instructor knows most of us by name and knows just how much to push us. It's good.

Sapphdia - heh...if I am not working Saturday mornings (real estate job - blech) then I do the gym "gauntlet" Spin, Combat and Pump all one after the other! from 8:30 to 11:30 lol.

My sister is trying to get me to take Body Combat, but I have no balance, either, and was not a big fan of taebo. Maybe I'll give it a try. I'm trying to be more open minded about my gym activities. I've never liked doing classes, because I was a bit self conscious, but I'm stepping out there more.

WOW, LYRIA!! Your "gauntlet" scares me!! The thing is, before I wondered how people could spend so much time in the gym. I hated working out, so a half hour was pushing it! For some reason, I love going to the gym and I can spend almost 2 hours in there.

the previous gym i was a member at had the les mills classes. that's where I did kickboxing for the first time with body combat. I swore by the class it was awesome and helped me lose 50 lbs (before kids!) unfortunately the gym closed and no other gym offered the classes. So now I do turbo jam videos they are a great workout!

Wow! Body combat helped you lose 50 lbs? I might have to give it a try after all.

I haven't been to Body Pump for over a week, but I have been lifting weight at the gym instead. I am going back on Thursday. I hope it isn't too hard on me. I was just getting ready to add a little more weight, but I think I will hold off on that now until I get a couple more classes under my belt. Wish me luck! :D
