Confession - I love Body Pump :)

[the-short-one]

I have a good friend who teaches Body Pump. She keeps trying to get my ass in the class. The only thing that's stopped me is that it's an hour away.

Upper body, I'm lifting heavy. (Have to catch up with the bottom half) Lower body, I've lightened up...and I'm still sore the next day.

STAND UP AND BE PROUD!!! 100 reps per body part would make anyone tired.

Looks like you have incredible lower body muscle and shape - What were you doing for lower body? Are you genetically disposed to muscle (esp lower body)?

yes. I was always muscular - even when I didn't lift weights.

I do all the excercises you hate step-ups, squats, dead lifts, lunges, dips - plus some floor work. Today was leg day.

Well I watched the Cardio Striptease class from the T-bar row. Interesting -- it was more or less a lot of sexy walk steps across the floor. THe guy teaching it looked like one of the guys from the TV show "Fame", but with a definite gay lilt. Interesting stuff...

Body pump sounds cool. I wonder if it's similar to cathe fredreich's workouts on fittv. SHe uses a step and a really high step and it is stepping and also weights, combined. And I don't mean the little pink 2 lb dumbells These are what I do at home. It is a really good workout.

I have been in Body Pump only once by far but loved it. And today I´m going again Oh my, I´m gonna be so sore tomorrow...

After doing weights and cardio for many years I decided to try kickboxing, omg all my muscles hurt really bad for 3 days and thought I was fit...

A huge part of trying a different training approach is conditioning. I regularly get my ass kicked every time I attempt a spinning class and yet there's always a couple of tubbos, sometimes including the teacher in those classes. So "fit" is a relative word.

My gym doesn't really have any classes -- they do some, but I don't like step-aerobics....

I hope we get FitTV soon and some new Fitness Content on Video on Demand....
