BODYPUMP™
It’s the fastest way to shape up and lose body fat. BODYPUMP™ is a toning and conditioning class with weights and is for just about everybody. It’s perfect for both males and females who want to add strength training into their aerobic workout. The simplicity of the class makes BODYPUMP™ a great starting point to develop strength and confidence. Hot sounds and compelling choreography keep you
going through each 45-minute or 1-hour workout.
So describe a typical class?
You’ll use a step platform, a bar and a set of
weights. If you’re new to weight resistance
exercise or you’re out of shape, you should start with light weights. After a few classes you’ll know how much weight is right for you. If you’re unsure, ask your instructor.
1. Warmup. This is to get your entire body moving so
you only use light weights.
2. Legs, chest and back. These are large muscles so require slightly bigger weights.
3. Triceps, biceps and shoulders. Initially only light weights, moving up to medium as you get stronger.
4. Abdominals. To help support and strengthen your core posture.
5. Cooldown. This is vital after a hard workout to stretch your muscles. You’ll increase your flexibility and reduce any risk of muscle soreness
or injury.
What do I need to bring?
• Comfortable workout clothes
• Gym shoes
• Drink bottle & towel
• Attitude!
We supply everything else.
How often should I turn up?
Once you have done your first few classes of BODYPUMP™, we recommend a maximum of 2-3 classes a week. Your body needs recovery time between workouts. Rest at least one day between classes.
When will I notice results?
Once you’ve started BODYPUMP™ your nerves will soon get better at telling your muscles what to do. Your muscles, with their tendons
and insertions, adapt more slowly. But you’ll notice strength gains as your body gets used to lifting weight. After about six weeks you
should feel great! As your strength improves you’ll start to see fat loss and improved muscle tone. Don’t overdo it – if you start to increase the weights too quickly you could suffer injury. Physical activity isn’t a quick fix – it should become a part of your lifestyle.
