Bodypump Classes

I’ve kept myself motivated for exercising lately. For once, I’m proud of myself…

Here’s the What-Have-I-Eaten-Today List:
- Oats with Vegemite for taste
- Prawn sushi
- BBQ flavoured crunchy corn
- Sao biscuits
- Toasted pita bread chips

Here’s the What-I-Should-Have-Eaten List:

As you can see, I was supposed to have nothing… that was a big failed purpose, wasn’t it?

I laid in bed for an extra 10 minutes contemplating whether or not I should go to the gym this morning. I thought “Should I go? I went yesterday… I think I could take a break.” But then I rebutted “If I don’t go today, I’m going to lose the momentum and I’ll get lazy.” And then I justified with “and plus I ate so much yesterday.” I rolled around in bed and closed my eyes “but I’m so tired…”.

The next thing I did was the hardest thing I’d done in the whole entire day.

I got out of bed.

The Bodypump class that I attended was good. It was the first time I’d attended a class with a male instructor. I used to do Bodypump classes every Tuesday at my gym but I can never get over the fact that it doesn’t make me sweat hence, I am not burning calories… more correctly, I am not burning the shit I put in my mouth earlier. Sure, my muscles burn during class but I walk out of class without having to wipe my face, neck or chest. I just don’t feel challenged enough.

I know Bodypump classes are designed to get you toned, lean and reduce your fat %, the class is supposedly suppose to work everyone of your muscle groups. Honestly I love the class, it is exciting and fun! The music is catchy to boot! However, during a class of Bodyattack (for those who don’t indulge in body-battering-gym, this is similar to aerobics) I come out feeling wetter than fat kid on a treadmill. I feel sore, oh sooo sore and I love it.

I was told that during Bodypump sessions, you should be using light weights as it’s all about muscle endurance. During one of my earliest experiences with Bodypump, I opted for heavier weights as I thought that it would burn more calories, and not to mention the fact that every other person in the room had 2-3 weights on their bars. My measly little 1.25kg made me feel like a pussy.

All this talking about the gym is getting me turned on for more working out…

I’m withdrawaling from gym already…
