Hi All

I'm just getting back into exercising and I've always enjoyed Body Pump (the fastest results I've ever had came from taking this class).

I know you're technically not supposed to do it 2 days in a row, but if I was doing it on a Wednesday at 6.15am, and on a Thursday at 8pm - do you think that'd be ok? :smile:

    I do pump twice a week along with other cardio classes and my own weight routine but I don't see why doing two in a row would be a problem! I'd probably push myself on the first class in terms of weights used then maybe stay a little lighter on the second go.

    I prob wouldn't try three in a row though! Body Pump can be brutal!

    I did it for the first time in years on Tuesday, and still hurt today! But only you know your limits and it's best just to listen to your body.

    I do it Sunday morning, Monday evening, Wednesday evening and Friday evening, I do other stuff in between too and it works out fine so long as I get enough sleep!

    I have done it twice in a row. I try to do something different some days but there is not always that option.

    Is a program that can be purchased online or they have only classes?

    I often do body pump followed by combat. Makes for a great all round double session!!

    That would definitely be my aim as quote often they do follow on from each other at my gym, but I don't think I have the fitness at the moment :disappointed:

    What size weights do you tend to use for body pump?
