Les Mills Pump

I don't think I've been this excited about starting a new fitness program until now.  What has gotten into me?  I NEVER thought I would be excited about working out! 

I've done Insanity from start to finish, Slim in 6, Focus T25, and now I am starting Les Mills Pump.  I actually bought LMP for Josh when we signed him up as a Coach and he has only done a couple of workouts.  Granted, he is VERY busy and travels A LOT for work, I was tired of seeing it sit on the floor.  I never did weights when I did go to the gym.  I was mostly cardio (either the treadmill or elliptical) and then I would do a few ab exercises and maybe a few leg and arm ones, but I NEVER knew what I was doing!  I would get on a machine and pretend like I had everything figured out.  Honestly, I couldn't even adjust the seat to get in the correct position/form! HA 

SO, I've been thinking a lot about lifting weights and was really excited that we got Josh LMP.  It comes with the barbell and a 5 lb and 10 lb weight set to use.  It has everything you need, which I loved. 

What is Les Mills Pump?  It's a barbell-based workout set to fun up-tempo music.  I REALLY like it!  The workouts can be modified depending on your fitness level.  So, for people like me (beginners) you can either use the barbell with no weights, or it shows options for no barbell.  For the body builders and guys (and gals!) who can lift a lot of weight, you can add as much as you would like!

Les Mills Pump is effective because it uses the REP EFFECT.  This means you use light-to-moderate weights at a higher rate of repetition versus using heavy weights.  This pushes your muscles to fatigue by changing up the tempo, speed, and position of your movements.  This gets you lean and strong instead of big and bulky.  PERFECT for me!

Yesterday was Day 1 of the 90 day program.  This means I'll be doing this well into the new  year.  I am really excited about it and I'm excited to see my results at the end.  I've taken my weight and measurements and will post the results mid-way and when I finish the program!

It's not too late to join me on this journey!  I have a fitness group via Facebook starting Monday, October 14th and would LOVE to have you join.  Working out is so much fun and easier when you have others join you for the ride.

I KNOW I will get amazing results and I can't wait to see them!
