pump class

Circuits, i think. or look on les mils and use their estimate.

Just out of curiosity what is a pump class? Stupid question?

i did body combat at the gym last night and it kicked my butt big time .. i been working out two years and thought i was going to die when i got out of there lol ... i couldnt find it on here either so i took one hour of aerobics and used that as a guideline ..and here i am in the morning sore everywhere..great class and i will be taking it again!!!

I just logged it in as new exercise and go with what my HRM says. I'd say 550 average. I'm going this morning - gotta get there early on Saturday b/c class fills up!

I wear a heart rate monitor during pump and burn between 300 -350 a session. I think it depends on how heavy you lift and the effort you put in. I see some lifting very light weights but for them they might be putting in full effort - id recommend a heart rate monitor if you want to know what your burning. Same with combat and attack. In combat I burn 350 - 400 calories and im only 5'6 and 109lbs. I work out 4 times a week with combat, pump and attack classes so im in pretty good shape - these cal burns are awesome for me in comparison to some other classes!

The calorie burn also depends heavily on which release you are doing - those with a particularly long or challenging squat track (e.g. 79/Grenade) will really make you work. I have had as big a difference between releases as 150 cals, even using comparative weights the whole way through.

Is it just me or is this release easier than some of the others?!

I think it is definitely easier than 79, the squat track for that was similar to the current one but a lot more intense, and the lunge track -- oops realised I made a mistake in my earlier post, Grenade is the *lunge* track doh! - in 79 was a killer. Although there are propulsion lunges in this one I think the track overall is a *lot* easier. I've also been able to increase my shoulder weight in this release, which I haven't been able to do in any previous ones. So yup, think you're right, although my calorie burn, although less than 79, is higher than some releases from the early 70s.

Yeah, the first time I did this release I wasn't too impressed with it overall (in terms of music, choreo etc.) but I did come away thinking, well at least I'll be able to up my weights for several tracks. I do like it now though.

That last part of the chest track is cool isn't it! I upped my squat weight last week but am finding the bottom halves a killer, which hasn't happened any other time I've upped my weights ha ha. Triceps is also good because there is so little time on the bar, so I have increased that too - if it was more than 1/3 on the bar there is *no way* I'd be able to increase it, as I have the weakest upper body ever to grace a pump class....

I couldn't find body attack, just aerobics, Pump might have to be logged as weights 60 mins - about 200 cals for my weight.
try looking further on the inter net with your weight in the search.

I've put a lot of them in myself since I teach 3 Les Mills formats. I use an HRM and then made my own exercise. Bodypump is usually around 400 something...or 500 with this new release! Body Attack I usually rock around 5-600 calories. :-)

Lol I can't do triceps. It hurts soooo bad my wrists are pretty weak so I have to strap them up with supports to be able to make it through most tracks !

Good to know I'm not alone in that I shake so much during triceps, even during the short bar bit I sometimes doubt I have any muscle there at all...

Where did you get your wrist supports from? Since I increased my chest weight I've noticed my wrists have become quite aggravated. I was thinking of getting those weightlifting gloves with a wrist strap but I tried gloves once and had to take them off after the warm-up...

I bought them on amazon, they are maxi muscle ones, you just strap them round with a little loop for your thumb. They have really helped for the chest and tricep tracks. I thought about gloves as my back weight hurts my fingers now because ita heavy but my wrists are so weak I would have to wear my supports and gloves which is over kill I reckons
