Body pump

What exactly is bodypump and what Cathe workouts would be considered a bodypump workout?

High repetition endurance workout with a barbell. You lift with the music -- that is very good actually -- at different counts, 2 up 2 down, then 3 up 1 down, 1 up 1 down, etc. You do only one muscle group during one song. I like Body pump, but you need to pick the right weight to challange yourself enough.
Cathe's Power Hour is similar but definitely harder, though the music is not as good. PH is also longer, Body Pump is not more then 35 min maybe. Jari Love's Getting Ripped is also good, very similar to Body Pump with very good music. CIA Powerbar Training is also a good one, about the same level as PH if not harder.
I've got my Body Pump on ebay. Hope this helps. Mari

BodyPump is a quarterly release through Les Mills International. They release to gyms that have purchased the rights to their workouts. I have taught BodyPump for a few years now. I'm not sure what version Mari has but I have received over a dozen BodyPump releases and they are all one hour long. When teaching lunchtime classes we cut out 2 tracks for a 45 minute class. Check out this link.

I wish I had your collection, Laurie! I have the video starring Jackie Mills by Bollinger that collage was selling a long time ago and was also available in stores for average folks like us, not participating gyms .
You don't want to sell your copies for me, do you? :7

You like that eh?! I didn't know that Jackie Mills was in a BodyPump video. All of mine are team taught with Mike McSweeney the BodyPump Guru of them all. I also teach BodyFlow/BodyBalance, Jackie is the head choreographer for the program, she is amazing in her form and personality.

Yup, she is great. Not to mention Mike... he is nice to look at too! he is in my tape too.
So, are you thinking about your price?

 

[endorphin_junkie]

My, you are persistant I'm holding on to them. Getting the workouts for at home use was part of my motivation to get certification. I may filter through some of them later but not yet

If you ever want to sell them, or just sell even one let me know.
I've got so motivated by this thread, that I decided to do Powerbar today. Boy, I'm tired.

Nice work Mari, now I'm going searching to see what Powerbar is! If I decide to get rid of some I'll be sure to let you know!
