    Happy for you to add me to this challenge, although I'm not entirely new to this

    Experienced pumpers welcome! Consider yourself added!

    I've been taking Body Pump classes for the past 3 years. I recently moved and now the closest gym offering the classes is 45 minutes away. I don't know about you guys, but that just seems like WAY too far to drive, especially when you're used to a 10 minute drive to the gym! I found out that Beachbody makes a Les Mills Pump Workout DVD and immediately purchased it! This is definitely the best purchase I have ever made! I always loved the group workout environment, but I can honestly say that Beachbody Pump Workout is the way to go!

    Has anyone else tried out Beachbody's Les Mills Pump Workout?

    I did the 90 day Les Mills Pump Challenge starting in January and lost 9 lbs and 9 inches that month. Love it! I then got sick and had to reduce the lbs and that had an effect on my results, but I still was able to lean out a ton. I'm still doing it a couple of times a week in conjunction with Turbofire. :) I'm a trainer at a health and healing retreat in Destin, Florida in October so I need to get in shape for it!

    I am just finishing up P90X2 and will start doing Les Mills Pump this Saturday. I have the dvds and am looking forward to this. I would like to lose a little fat and retain or gain more muscle.

    I'm just two weeks in to Pump (home system) and loving it so far. I've attempted P90X before, but found that it was aggravating a previous injury (broke my ankle in three places in 2011), so I wanted to focus on strengthening without the impact of P90X (the goal being to complete a full cycle of P90X next).

    So far I'm really enjoying Pump - the flexibility of being able to work in the cardio of my choice is great, since I'm also working on becoming a runner (Did my first 5K in June, and have 5 more races planned for 2012 - pretty much one per month for the rest of the year).

    What has become even more evident than ever with this program is "You can't outtrain a crappy diet." Even though I'm typically staying within my calorie allotment, I know I've been too low on protein/high on carbs lately - and it's showing.

    Planning on doing the full 90 day cycle, and probably the additional 30 day cycle with the supplemental DVD set.

    Looking forward to hearing everyone else's feedback on the program.

    I'm also getting started with Les Mills Pump - I've been hearing such great things - I'm feeling it today though :) I hope to see the progress with myself that everyone else has been seeing. I have done Turbo Fire and had great results, but have a healing foot injury I'm working with right now, so I figured Pump would be a good way to incorporate some strength training and work on some fat loss :) i look forward to hearing how everyone else is doing!

    I'm on Week 6 of Pump and just had my first Pump Revolution session. Oh dear lord am I sore! I like the videos a lot but until I really upped the weights and started pushing myself I wasn't seeing the results I wanted. Now I push myself so that I am at failure at the end of each set and it is working a lot better.

    I am only doing Pump and Burn so far. I am afraid to add too much weight. Currently at a total of 40 pounds for each move. I could probably up it for a few but then might not be able to finish. I know everyone is different but what did you up yours to?

    Don't sweat it I am only at 45 on squats and 35 on chest. When you get to Shread and then Revolution the arms get a lot harder. I got some 2 and 3 pound plates to gently increase.

    Thanks, buddy. I will try to do some things at 45 today. I am using traditional bars and weights and I have small increments as needed.
