Pump your way to a buff new body!

I’m sure you’ve noticed how lean and mean Monica, who sits in the front row, has become over the past year or so.  What you might not know is how she got that way…and how she’s now helping others transform  their bodies in the same way.

Her secret?  In addition to attending regular Spinning classes, Monica has added BodyPump classes to her workout regime.  And what a difference it has made!

“With the help of BodyPump and a diet rich in lean protein, healthy fats, whole grains, and plenty of fruits and vegetables,” Monica writes, “I’ve lost (and kept off) 40 pounds over the last 2 years. BodyPump has transformed my metabolism and body!”

So just what is BodyPump?  As Monica explains:

“BodyPump is a total body strength training class that incorporates barbells and weight plates for maximum toning and sculpting.  It is designed to build strong, lean muscles through repetitions.  By the end of a typical 55 minute class, you’ll have completed about 800 reps!  The program works glutes, hamstrings, quads, abs, chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps, and back muscles.  BodyPump is choreographed to upbeat music so you stay engaged.  It is FUN and dynamic.  In fact, BodyPump has such a following, you can find classes just about anywhere in the world!  Washington Sports Club’s Dupont Circle location offers several BodyPump classes throughout the week, including the class that I teach on Saturdays at 10:15 am. Come give it a try—I promise you will be sore the following day!”

You can read more about BodyPump here–and I highly recommend Monica’s Saturday class.  My suggestion to newbies:  Be sure to listen to Monica’s cues on form and recommended weights, use the mirrors to help you pay careful attention to form, and don’t “cheat” by using momentum, which can also lead to injury.  Follow Monica and you’ll be in good hands.

I’ve been taking the class for the last three weeks and love it.  Reserve a place ahead of time and get there early to nab a spot though, because in a few short weeks Monica’s already developed quite a following.  Hope I’ll see you there!
