Pumping It Up

I am fortunate to be on staff at a GREAT YMCA but after the last staff meeting, it occurred to me that I have taken very few of the group exercise classes offered. What a missed opportunity for me! So I’ve taken a goal to try each one!

Last Friday I was fortunate enough to take Body Pump from Isabelle and Diana. I know weight training is good for you, and I love working out to music, so seemed a good fit. (Thank you Liz for suggesting this – I’m so glad you joined the Y!)

Both teachers were great at letting you know what to expect (how many sets, what moves were coming) and they took turns going throughout the room and correcting form! I love that, both from a safety standpoint, and because I work much harder knowing they are looking around!

I deliberately kept my weights low, since I was inexperienced, but I felt a good endorphin glow afterward… and really felt it the next two days!
