Tim has been telling me how hard his body pump class is for ever. I assured him it couldn't be as tough as zumba. :) So, he invited me along to compare. This has been going on for months and I would always find an excuse not to go.
Tonight I went.
First off let me say that Body Pump is just a 2012 way of saying 1986 aerobics with more pushups.
Second off let me say it is full on. I am still glowing two hours later.
Third off let me say that it was a great class but I could not understand one thing the instructor was saying. She was Kiwi with a bad sound system.
But, I followed along and got the main point. The last couple of songs I was pretty tired.
Some of the highs were that I did a side plank which I wanted to try and never have. Also that I was really able to do everything (with some modification) and got through the class.
Big thanks to Tim for bringing me along.
A side plank ... ? You sound like a carpenter. The class sounds like good, hard fun.
ReplyDeleteI know you are doing great at losing weight, but it looks like you also lost a lot of height.
ReplyDeleteBody ATTACK not body pump. Pump is one with low weights high reps. Attack is yea, Les Mills' branded aerobics :)
ReplyDeleteYou did really well, and I apologise for the instructors mic fail, but not her accent!
