Also, just putting it out there, if you're squatting whole tracks with what's about 45-50 pounds, you're probably not going to get a lot of benefit from Bodypump for much longer. It sounds like a progressive overload program would be great for you.Wow everyone - thanks very much for your comments!!! I totally understand that if I can't safely lift I prob shouldn't try! I agree it's looking for injuries.
And yes I was talking about the squat track in Body Pump class so what I need to do is load weight up on the floor and lift up.
Because I've only been doing classes since I started gym I have limited knowledge on those machines everyone is talking about. But I want to start utilising the free weights and machines now.
if you want to get into free weights I would suggest reading up on one of the following programs - new rules of lifting for woman, starting strength, or strong lifts.

Also.. cosign. Use body pump as a supplement form of HIIT, and go lift heavy0 -
Thanks everyone - One more question if that is ok.
Can you recommend any good websites that I can look at to learn routines (for free weights and machine beginners?)0 -

OP, I did new rules of lifting for women and loved it (and saw great results), so I would definitely recommend it. But all those suggestions are good programs, so find what works for you!0
