    Ahhh, there's a home system? I didn't know that! I just heard there was "works" of getting on, but cool that it happened. Pump was my first lifting class years ago. Then I switched gyms and didn't have Les Mills programs so I stopped lifting. I miss those classes sooo much!

    I just went to Pump for the first time today and I loved it!!
    It's actually really late right now but I don't want to go to sleep because I know I'm going to be super sore when I wake up.

    I'm interested in this challenge!

    I'm really interested in attending the classes at my gym, but I'm terrified.

    Don't be scared of the gym classes, they're amazing! I'm very, very weedy and weak, and pump has made such a difference to my physique, it's amazing. Talk about toned arms, a flatter tummy, leaner legs and a perkier *kitten*!

    When you go for the first time, they'll probably ask if there are any newbies, and someone will start you off with nice light weights. They guide you through it and it's so easy, plus the music rocks!

    Yes it is, you can either go to the gym and take a class, or you can buy a kit online that has the barbell, weights, and dvd's so you can do the program in your living room!

    I am interested in doing it! I think I can this time!! Good motivation!

    I enjoy body pump classes although my shoulders hate me for it. I never thought I'd get to the stage when squats would be relaxing but after some of the other moves they actually are....

    yes, they went in with BeachBody and it was released at the beginning of the year. It's actually pretty affordable, if you're looking for an at home program like this I do recommend it.

    Yeah - don't be scared! You'll be preventing yourself from going to some seriously awesome classes! I was too scared to go to a Les Mills class (or any class for that matter), but I had a friend tell me they were good and joined me in my first one. It's kind of nice, because the instructors sometimes ask who is new to the class, and while that may sound more embarrassing, I look at it as a "Okay people, I'm new here this is why I'm about to look really dumb!" You'll REALLY enjoy it, and you'll kick yourself for not going just because you were nervouse. It's a GREAT workout! Now I do Pump, Combat, and Attack at least 4x a week (not each, but I do a LM class at least 4x a week).

    For the people who are interested in trying body pump for the first time:
    1) Let the instructor know that you are new and they can tell you what equipment to grab
    2) Go lighter on the weights than you would normally. You will be doing about 800 repetitions per class and that is a lot for some people.
    3) Stay for the cool down, seriously. Your body will thank you.

    Yes, I too was a member of the gym until one of my wonderful co-workers hipped me to it! It was released in December. It is absolutely fabulous; the music, the men, even Les Mills Jr. himself!

    It will definitely reshape your body. Women can build sexy muscles without bulking up, and guys can get buff too!

    Great! I'll add you! You will get over the soreness. "Discoveri" gave some great advice in this thread. Check it out!

    I LOVE the at home system. I injured my knee last week and am currently out of commission and it makes me so sad! I hope all ya'all are working extra hard at it FOR me!
