STRENGTHEN UP WITH BODY PUMP

 

BODY PUMP -What’s that?

It’s the fastest way to shape up & lose body fat. Suitable for Men and Women and all levels of fitness.

BODY PUMP is a toning and conditioning class with weights and is for just about everybody. It’s perfect for both men and women. The simplicity of the class makes a great starting point to develop strength and confidence.

So describe a typical class -This is a studio based fitness class but you remain stationary throughout. You’ll use a step platform, a bar and a set of weights. Each track works a different muscle group and the power of a group environment coupled with strong music motivates even the most timid of participants. If you are new to weight resistance exercise or you’re out of shape, you should start with light weights. After a few classes you’ll know how much weight is right for you. If you’re unsure, ask your instructor. In each class you could burn up to 600 calories for fat loss.

Warm -up – This is to get your entire body moving so it is important that you only use light weights.

Legs, Chest and Back- these are large muscles so require slightly bigger weights. 

Triceps, biceps and shoulders-Initially only light weights, moving up to medium as you get stronger.

Abdominal – To help support and strengthen your core posture and flatten your stomach. 

Cool – down – This is vital after a hard workout to stretch your muscles. You’ll increase your flexibility and reduce any risk of muscle soreness or injury.

HOW DO I BODYPUMP SAFELY? - Your teacher is there to make sure you do everything correctly, but try to remember: 

Good posture is the foundation of all exercise.

Focus on learning the right technique at the beginning.

Work continuously to perfecting your technique.

Don’t overdo the weights-Start gradually and increase them after 6 weeks.

Perform the movements with control -smooth actions not jerky.

Always keep your joints slightly bent, don’t lock out.

Keep your focus on the working muscles.

Listen to your body, it will tell you I something is not right.

You may feel a little pain at first, especially if it’s the same on both sides of your body. This is muscle soreness. But if you have pain down only one side or in both joints, check with the instructor.

What do I need to bring? -

We supply everything else.

How often should I do a class? - Once you have done your first few classes of BODY PUMP, we recommend a maximum of 2-3 classes per week. Your body needs recovery time between workouts. Rest at least one day between classes. You could do a different class, as a way to recover.

When will I notice results?- Once you’ve started BODYPUMP your nerves will soon get better at telling your muscles what to do, so the movements become a lot easier to manage. Your muscles, with their tendons and insertions, adapt more slowly. But you will notice strength gains as your body gets used to lifting weights. After about 6 weeks you should feel great! As your strength improves you’ll start to see fat loss and improved muscle tone. Don’t overdo it-if you start to increase the weights too quickly you could suffer injury. Physical activity isn’t a quick fix -it should become part of your lifestyle.
