Body Pump

So about 8 years ago, I found a new craze at my gym called BODYPUMP. I signed up for the classes and WOW! They kicked my butt, but I loved it. I really noticed a difference in the first couple weeks.

What is BODYPUMP you ask?

BODYPUMP™ is the original barbell class that strengthens your entire body. This 60-minute workout challenges all your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises like squats, presses, lifts and curls. Great music, awesome instructors and your choice of weight inspire you to get the results you came for – and fast!

It is addictive. Well, my gym went out of business about 2 years later. I never did find a new gym or look for BODYPUMP classes elsewhere. I missed it....it was the best strength training I had ever done. I started looking online to see if they sold the tapes at all. No luck...you could sign up to become an instructor and that is how you could get the materials.

After some searching I found a man who had all of the workouts...video and music tracks. I was sooo thrilled. I ordered 4 of them from him and now I can do this workout in the privacy of my own home. I got my weights from Walmart...woohoo! All in all, I spent less than $150 for all the materials, props and such to have my own private strength training regime! Well worth it in my opinion. Now, let the sculpting begin!
