I Tried It, I Liked It!

I love the idea of the Pound workouts, where you rythmically beat weighted drumsticks while you exercise. Talk about patting your head while rubbing your belly :eek:

Some of these fitness endeavors may turn out to be gimmicky. I figure at worst I'll have a light workout and at best I may find something new and stimulating that keeps me motivated. I will always have my Cathe workouts as my base to fall back on. She has so much variety I can never get bored!
I visited an open house at a fairly new fitness facility near my house to try the 15 minute Pound class they offered. Using 1/4 pound weighted & specially modified plastic "drumsticks" (Ripstix), Pound combines easy to follow cardio moves with strength & toning moves and drumming. This combo works the entire body in an interval training style, raises the heart rate to a fat-burning zone, and forces each move to be as precise as a basic beat. Utilizing "strategic distraction", the workout, like their website described, was "a pure auditory and physical rush". IMO it was fun, fun, fun.

It was definitely a new and interesting challenge for my mind, body, and spirit! I'm thinking of pre-ordering the DVDs.
