Bodypump home video

[ShelleyM]

I purchased the Bodypump home video system from Walmart and have done it twice. It doesn't seem to be that much of a workout. I really like the video, but what can I do to make it tougher? I've increased to 5 pounds per side, and that is very easy. I am not a die-hard like most of you are. I have been doing Firm for about 10 years, and have a couple of Cathe's tapes, but I mainly jog a few times a week for about 3 miles. Should I go ahead and increase my weights, or wait until I do it a few more times before I increase the weights. Thanks for any information you give me.

BodyPUMP....Love it or Leave it...

Hi Shelley!

I have the BodyPUMP home system and I LOVE it. Probably more cuz of the music then anything! I get a GREAT workout from it and I increase the weights depending on the day. If you pay attention to your form and use heavy enough weights (which you'll have to experiment to get the weights to YOUR own fitness level), you can get a GREAT workout from it!!! Play around with the weights and see how it goes. But listen to your body!!!

I believe they say (read it somewhere or maybe heard it?) that one can go up to 90 lbs. on some of the exercises! Not that I recommend going from 5 lbs. on each end to 40 lbs. on each end!!!

Enjoy and have fun.... It's one of my favorite workouts. Hey: Maybe I'll do THAT one today!

Hope this helps!

BodyPump

Cleda-
Thanks for your help. I do love the music, too--it makes the workout seem so short!! I will try increasing the weights. I wonder if it will work if you mix the Firm barbell weights with the ones that come with the BodyPump? Has anyone tried it?

what I saw of this.. on the web

it is a form of sticks that are stacked up like a hurdle takes no more space than a step bench and you do that kid type game of going over it and back. I have heard various gyms had it. I have not seen it. I have heard there is a video coming. I have not seen it.
was hoping someone else had.
