What is a typical BODYPUMP class like?
You will use a step platform, a bar and a set of weights. If you are new to weight resistance exercise or you are out of shape, you should start with light weights. After a few classes you will know how much weight is right for you. If you are 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 fl exibility and reduce any risk of muscle soreness or injury. |

How often should I do BODYPUMP?
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 have 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 will notice strength gains as your body gets used to lifting weight. After about six weeks you should feel great! As your strength improves you will start to see fat loss and improved muscle tone. Do not overdo it. If you start to increase the weights too quickly you could suffer injury. Physical activity is not a quick fix as it should become a part of your lifestyle.
