They have BodyVive, BodyStep and BodyPump at my gyms. I haven't tried the BodyVive. There's more classes I think, but for some reason they aren't offered.

[takingcontrol]

There are quite a few I think. We have Pump and Attack (but attack is only on twice a week when I can't make it) I've also heard of Combat, and then RPM which Les Mills fans won't let me say is the same as Spinning!

What is Vive? Never heard of that one!

Hello Melissa and all. I would like to join this group. I feel, exercise, is the most important piece in my journey. It helps me with A LOT of things, not just losing weight. I will commit to 21 hours for the remainder of March. Thanks.
March 25th: 60 minutes; walking and running (mostly walking)
20 minutes; weight training

Thanks again for the support!

I threw in the bodypump today since I missed it on Saturday and because I'm mad at my scale. Since I can't make it move when I want to make it move, I can at least help my body get more fit.

And I'm so glad I want to bodypump today. I haven't been to this particular class since last July - right when I started and it was eye opening. There is this woman in the class who I was right near when I started. She had so much weight on the bar! I was in awe!

Well, she was in class today and she has more weight on the bar than then (I don't remember her having the 10 kgs out before) and I realized that for almost all muscle groups I use the same weights as she does now - she's up a couple on Squats and I'm up a bit on shoulders, but other than that, we are pretty much the same with weights. I couldn't believe it. I've progressed so far in that time! So while the scale is being mean, at least I can see I'm doing something positive!

I actually haven't done the bodystep yet today, but I'm all signed up for it and I've promised my little guy we would go to that gym, so I'm kind of bound to it now and I'm looking forward to it tonight. Lots of energy today, so I might as well put it to good use.

Welcome to the thread, but good grief, don't try to squeeze in 21 hours in one week! That's 3 hours a day! Pro-rate it! I suggest doing 5-7 hours for this last week and start fresh in April. You don't want to get burned out or injure yourself.

[hillary32]

After posting, I realized, I read your original post at the beginning of March. I am going to shoot for 7 hours for the remainder of the month. Then, I will start the new challenge in April. I hope we do it in April. Thanks

3/25: 60 minutes cardio; 20 minutes weight training
3/26: 60 minutes cardio; 20 minutes weight training

2 hours and 40 minutes down, 5 hourse and 20 minutes to go!

[takingcontrol]

Melissa, I LOVE your Pump story, what a great motivator. It must be wonderful to see how far you've come, I can't wait to be saying the same! What weights do you lift now?

Hillary, hello and welcome Good luck with your week challenge, and yes there will be an April challenge for you to get involved in from the start

Thanks! And I did bodystep too - as I said I would. Actually today was a great exercise day as I've seen how far I have come. I was the strongest looking one in step class tonight too - which is strange as that is NOT the case with most of the step classes I take -it felt great.

I don't think my weights for pump are that impressive, but they are vastly better than where I started!

For warm up I use 3.5 kg on each end.
For squats I use 10 kg on each end.
For chest I use 5 kg on each end.
For Back I use 9.5 kg on each end.
For triceps I use 5 kg on each end and 5 lbs for kick-backs if they have them.
For lunges - it depends on what we are doing, but if we use the bar, 4.5 kg on each end.
For biceps I use 3.5 kg on each end.
For Shoulders I use 3.5 kg on each end if we use the bar and 5 lbs each hand if we are using hand weights.
I do the full abs section and planks and will use a 5 kg plate if they call for it.

I started with warming up with 1 kg on each end.
Squatted with 3.5 kg on each end.
Chest was 2 kg on each end.
Back was 2.5 kg on each end.
Triceps was 2 kg on each end
lunges I couldn't even do and that's not even using a bar
Biceps I used 1 kg each end.
Shoulders I used 1 kg each end.
And I couldn't even hold a plank position.

So, my progress has been HUGE and I hope to continue progressing.

Congtats Melissa!!!! WTG!!!!!

[Loseit]

62 hrs so far + another 2 since sunday for a total of 64 hrs.
I have not been counting any weight training or 30 day shred so far since i do not count the calories burnt during that.. Since usually cardio machines are supposed to be a little off !! So I think for calorie counting purpose, I use that as a buffer!! But makes sense for minutes worked out... Well its been a pretty bad month on the personal front.. Usually when I have a tough time... I just seem to give every thing up...trying hard to get moving...
I can hear a voice in my head telling me to get going... But the rest of me just does not care...
Glad that I did a fair amount of hrs in jan and feb.. So lets see!!!
Great going u guys!!

[takingcontrol]

Melissa Wow, what an improvement! I can see why you are proud, how long have you been doing Pump for, and how many days a week? At the moment I squat with 5s, back with 3.5s, chest and any arms on the bar with 2.5s and I've just upped to 2s when using dumbells on the shoulders/arms. I'd love to think one day I'll be strong enough to keep on upping the weights, bring it on!

Loseit I so hear you with the battle to keep going, and deciding to listen to that voice inside your head or not. Don't be disheartened, you've got a great total year to date, and by the sounds of it have done a lot more besides with your weights and 30 day shred. I hope April is a great month for you
