Discussion: Body Pump

My rec center has a new Body Pump CORE class -- have you tried that one?

I only tried the regular Body Pump class once -- OMG! I barely survived. :-P

I've never even heard of the core class! That sounds interesting.

Yea, Body Pump is hard, but I like it because it gives me the weight training that I keep reading older women need. So, there's that.

Yeah, it seemed like a great workout -- I had the lightest possible weights and it hurt! I should go back...

Here's how the rec center describes the two classes --

Les Mills BODYPUMP™: A barbell workout for anyone looking to get lean, toned and fit – fast.

Les Mills CORE™: This program hones in on the torso and sling muscles that connect your upper body to your lower body. It's ideal for tightening your tummy and butt, as well as improving functional strength and assisting in injury prevention.
