Today, Kimberly from Healthy Strides and I did Body Pump this morning at the same Big City gym where we did Boot Camp back in December.  The gym which is a 40 minute drive from my house is just launching this class so it began today with a FREE intro class- can’t beat doing one of my favorite group exercise classes WITH my friend and for FREE!!!!

I used to do Body Pump more than 10 years ago when I lived in Virginia and FELL.IN.LOVE!!!  Today’s hour long class was just like I remember – so challenging, but so fun. 

I was able to snap a few photos for your entertainment -

After our sweat fest, we went out to eat breakfast . . . and to have a little Auntie time with Kimberly’s A-DOR-ABLE son (happy 6 months Mr. Miles!).  Kimberly made a wise protein rich choice with a Greek skillet. Me?  Well, I had heard a-maz-ing things about Angle Food French Toast and just knew I needed to try it  . . . it would make a GREAT dessert.  I brought one slice home for my husband – he loved it.

So our New 2 You Cross Training Challenge Update . . .

JanuaryBody Pump  . . . DONE!

Do you prefer to exercise on your own or participate in a class?

I’m 100% a group exercise FAN (no doubt you all already knew that about me – shocker, I know.  If it involves being social – I’m there!)

What’s your favorite group exercise class?

I LOVE several of the Les Mills classes including Body Pump, Body Attack, and Body Flow.  I really like doing Zumba as well.

  2. Awesome job yesterday! I had so much fun trying something new. And let me tell you, I can feel it. Holy biceps, Batman!

    I am really digging the group exercise! It's one thing to do a Jillian DVD in the basement but it's another to feel challenged by a live instructor and classmates. Can't wait for next week!

  3. Look at you already tackling one of the CT challenges! I've never taken a body pump class before but it seems like fun. Plus, I often lack the motivation to do strength training on my own!

  4. When I'm going to the gym, I'm definitely a group class girl - I love love love boxing. If i'm on the equipment, just by myself I really don't push myself and much as when I'm with the trainers ... they know this a much as I do and will have no qualms at kicking my butt into action.

  5. Sounds like FUN! I have to push myself to do any strength training!
