BodyPump it up!

Oh how I love BodyPump. You get to work out your entire body in less than an hour, and you don't have to look like a fool while pretending to appear to know what you're doing in the weight section (aka man's section) of the gym. I've been taking this class since 2005, and it hasn't gotten old yet. It is distributed by Les Mills, who also does BodyStep, BodyFlow, BodyJam, etc. The class is available in over 70 countries around the world.

The songs are upbeat and loud. There is a new "release" every few months with brand new set of songs. You work out the following body parts for a whole song for a total of 10 tracks...

1. Warm-up

2. Squats

3. Chest

4. Back

5. Triceps

6. Biceps

7. Lunges

8. Shoulders

9. Abs

10. Cool-down

I prefer to take the 5:45 a.m. class twice a week. It's not as bad as you think, plus it's a great feeling to be done with your workout for the day.
