BODYPUMP is a revolutionary weight training workout that strengthens, tones and defines every muscle in the body and has totally transformed my exercise experience! BODYPUMP was created and distributed globally by LES MILLS International.
It’s a strength and endurance workout which brings the weight room right into a Group Exercise class. The class begins with a warm-up with light weights, is usually an hour long and is instructor lead. It is set to music and meant to make resistance training as engaging and fun as aerobics. The class is designed to improve posture, spinal alignment, muscular balance and leads to a toned, sculpted body. It will integrate the abdominals, lower back and hips to improve strength, flexibility, posture, balance and muscular symmetry. BODYPUMP improves strength and stamina within the major muscle groups by incorporating high reps and exercises in rapid succession and, in doing so, burns calories and increases your lean muscle mass.
Participants may select heavier weights as they progress, making BODYPUMP a class that continuously becomes more challenging. They will be offered modifications, as well as the opportunity to make their workout more athletic and vigorous. The workout is usually designed into stations that focus on weight and resistance moves, proper form and technique. However, this workout should not be performed everyday; your muscles will need time to recover, so two to three days a week on nonconsecutive days is recommended. Like all the LES MILLS programs, a new BODYPUMP class is released every three months with new music and choreography.
BODYPUMP can be offered at any gym/fitness club around the world with sufficient space to hold a class. It may not be for everyone, but it certainly has allowed me to redefine my goals and, ultimately, my life. Additionally, it has motivated me to finish getting in shape. It has totally changed my body and my running abilities. Additionally, it has provided a new way to spur my metabolism and firm my body as well. I have gotten much stronger and that has given me more confidence. BODYPUMP is amazing! I am a total addict. And because of this, I have decided to become a BODYPUMP instructor very soon. I am excited to take the leap and help others reach their fitness training goals.
