    I go to Pump at the gym, irs the only weight training I do. I have got noticably more toned arms especially

    I think it would be expensive to do at home, I use a big range of different weights at the gym, and the step, mat etc.

    For me the results come from upping your weights often by sticking an extra kilo on each side wherever possible.

    Give it a try - I think its an excellent way to be introduced to weightlifting exercises and taught form in a non-intimidating way.
    The exercises you learn there you can then do on your own, with heavier weights for less repetitions et voila, suddenly you're lifting like a pro ;)

    I love pump - I only do once a week as the other pump classes are on when I am working.
    Its a very motivating class and the instructor we have is very, very good. I think its important though to increase your weight once in a while to challenge your body, even if its tough at first....

    Please keep in mind it's not really a weight/strength training class- it's cardio. with weights.

    I've done it in gyms but not the BB DVDs. I'd call it 'high rep, low weight resistance' more than 'cardio' but tomato, tomahto...

    agreed, there's not really a lot of cardio involved. It is definitely a weight/ strength training class, gotta start somewhere with lifting and this is a great environment to do it in.

    Agree with this. It will improve your strength some but not like lower rep/heavy lifting will. That being said, it's a great workout. I haven't done it in awhile since I'm focusing on heavier weights but its a really good way to get both cardio and some weights in an hour.

    If you are using heavy enough weights for the squat, back and leg tracks there is definitely a cardio component. I can get my HR high in 6 minutes of squats with no rests.

    This. I used to do it as a kid, I hated it, but then I hated all exercise then LOL. It's good steady state cardio though
