Hey, if you have never tried a Body Pump workout, now's the time to start. I just did my second one yesterday afternoon at one of the Total Fitness locations here in Guangzhou, China. I tried my first Body Pump workout two weeks ago, and I was really blown away by how intense it really is.
I had seen people at the gym going through this workout routine many times, but I always thought it looked "too easy." Well, I guess I was wrong about that. I don't know if it's my age, or if I'm just not as in good condition as I think I am, but I can't go through the entire one-hour workout without stopping to rest. For me, I find the legs section of the workout to be the worst part.
However, I sweat like the proverbial "pig" during and after the workout, and I feel like my body is literally burning fat for hours post workout. So, if you're looking for a great full-body routine with super music and the ultimate in intenstiy, try the Body Pump workout at a gym near you!

The Reason Your Training Program Sucks - Bigtime!
I love writing about health, fitness, bodybuilding, diet, training, etc, but there's one thing I can't stand to see when I'm at the gym. It's newbies, primarily young males, training themselves into "smallness." That's correct, I said training themselves into smallness. I know, you're likely wondering what I'm talking about, right?
Well, let me explain so you'll be clear and if you're a beginner bodybuilder, weight trainer, whatever, listen up, because this information can save you a lot of time and frustration!
LESS IS MORE! Remember those three, often overused words. I know, I know, it's quite a cliche for me to be saying LESS IS MORE!
So, the reason so many guys are training themselves into smallness is because they believe that more is more, but in fact, LESS IS MORE!
However, I know what all of you newbies are saying to yourselves! Those guys in the bodybuilding magazines train long and hard. Well, there's two things to remember about pro bodybuilders.
First, they don't all train extremely long in terms of the actual time spent working out.
Secondly, they're using anabolic steroids, so even if they are training for long periods of time - 45 minutes or longer - the steroids allow their bodies to respond and recover from workouts of longer duration.
However, if you're training naturally, you're body is not going to respond well to workouts much longer than 45 minutes, so cut back on the time you spend actually training and increase the intensity with which you train.
I guarantee you that if you train with more intensity, with less rest between sets and more weight on the bar, you'll get amazing results and you won't be training yourself into "smallness."
