Anyone Do Body Pump Classes? (Read 964 times)

I've been taking BodyPump classes on and off for about 1.5 years now. I try to hit at least one a week, if not two (depending on whether or not I have race). I went a stretch of a few months without taking a class (and trying to strength train on my own) and when I went back to class, I noticably lost strength. Personally, I love BP! Then again, I tend to like anything that already does the thinking for me, as I'm not one to create my 'own' plans. BP is basically light/medium weights with high reps, which usually suits endurance athletes well. The only weight training that I do outside of BP are push-ups, one-legged squats, and some stability ball work for my core. BP is a very popular class at my gym. Give it a whirl. It's not for everyone, but you may like it as much as I do.
