I'm sort of starting to wonder why none of my friends or loved ones have said anything like this to me!! Maybe because I haven't outright said to them "I want to lose weight"... they just know I'm eating better and I'm working out. My best friend responded by saying she wanted to get back into fitness too after finishing…

No magical story here I'm afraid as I'm still too scared to give classes a try just yet, but a friend of mine absolutely raves about all the Body- classes, Pump included. It doesn't sound too complicated as such but he has warned me that I'll be sore in muscles I never knew I had. From what he says, there's a different…
