[quote=Anonymous]I really like bodypump as a general, overall strength training workout. It is divided in to "tracks" that focus on specific muscle groups, and each track is roughly 4-5 minutes long. It's broken down into: warmup, squats, chest, back, triceps, biceps, lunges, shoulders, abs, stretching.

If you're completely new to strength training, use VERY light weights for your first class (not more than 5lbs on each side of the bar, or 10 total) so that you can focus on getting your form and movements right. Proper technique for deadlifts, squats, lunges, clean & presses, etc. Never swing your weights and use control. If you swing them, they're too heavy.

After a couple classes, it will take a little time to find the right weight for each muscle group, enough to challenge you but keep good form.

If you can take it 1-2x a week, I think it's a great, well balanced strength training workout. Please pay attention to form, and the instructor will shout out suggestions throughout class. [/quote]
