Again, I got to enjoy Diana as an instructor, as well as a guest appearance by Laura (usually the instructor for the 6pm class... I rarely get to night classes due to my grade school offspring's schedules, so lucky for me I caught a rare daytime sighting.)
As in Body Pump, the teachers stressed the different levels and options to participate - always offering lower impact levels. I participated at the high impact level, and had a total flashback to my pre-kid, hit the aerobic class after work (in headband and leg warmer ;-) days.
The moves were familiar from those days, but there was a lot of variety - a soccer inspired sequence, a song dedicated to running laps (great to stretch out the back of the ankles/heels... important for keeping healthy!)
My friend Liz and I usually run outdoors at this time slot, so we were extremely pleased that this indoor option gave us the calorie burn we were looking for, along with a good upper body and abs section. The final stretch was also great - and it was really interesting to hear Diana's voice --earlier so energetic and boisterous -go positively yoga-esque as she eased us through a lovely cool down.
Good fun and a great workout.
