#body pump

[random-esfp]

Today I did the most esfp thing I've ever done in my life which is: crushing over my body pump instructor.

I guess I'm not that unstereotypical ????? because I actually liked body pump the 1st time I tried it, after 25 years of sedentary life (BUT NOT because of the instructor)

I went to my first gym class in three months and it was really hard but I'm proud of myself for going

I've not posted for ages because I've been feeling really negative about my body and my lack of progress, but in the last couple of weeks I've joined a gym and started going to fitness classes. I feel a long way behind everyone else in the class but people are friendly, the teachers are encouraging and for the first time in months I've actually started enjoying exercise again. Tonight I did my first body pump class and I feel so good after it that it's motivated me to put up a new progress pic. So here it is Tumblr, me on 6 Feb 2019

Body Pump, this morning. I know I’m moving all the beer around this afternoon and I’ll probably really feel it, but it needed to be done. So, it’s done.

Non-scale victory!

So I’m a short human being, and as my legs have gained weight I found that I couldn’t grab my leg behind me to stretch out my quads anymore.

When I started working out it was a bit of a struggle because I never felt fully stretched out.. but today I put my foot up behind my knee/leg and I just managed to grab my foot! I couldn’t quite believe it, and don’t know if it’s my leg getting smaller or me being more flexible - both of which are issues I really wanted to work on.

Very happy this evening! Body Pump class done, Body Attack booked for Thursday and Spinning on Friday! 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️

1 hour of body attack. 1 hour of body pump. Then a protein shamrock shake!!!

Each week I’m pushing myself to do a little more at attack instead of modifying. Last week it was more jumping and jumping jacks.

This week I did more jumping, jumping jacks and added burpees.

I saved my gym reward points and was able to add a month of level 3 programming. I’m still going to do my Saturday double, but the other days I might add some of those classes since I only have it for a month.

Happy Saturday!

Day 17/298

Weight= 214. I am down 14 pounds since I started keto again that's almost a pound a day as a more than I expected after my binge the other night. Carbs = I've been doing meh but it's meal prep day and I hope to do well in the coming week. Mood= I'm tired guys, very tired. I work nights and have depression in not okay but I'm working on it. I've been enjoying the les mills bodypump at the gym. It's full body, high rep lifting in class form. I'm interested in starting the les mills body flow/body balance class as well. My goal is to work up to two different classes a day 3x a week, simple cardio or a random class the other three days, and a gentle yoga class on my "rest day". Coupled with the right cico and keto, my goal weight is feasible. We'll see, how are you guys doing? Any triumphs or struggles you want to share?

Saturday workouts. I always like to take double classes on Saturdays. 1 hour of body pump and 1 hour of body attack. I’m seeing a lot of improvements in my strength. I’m loading my bar with 20# for squats. Today I added weight for back and I did 15# and for triceps I feel comfortable using the 5# plate. My co worker said that doesn’t seem like a lot of weight but body pump isn’t your typical workout. You don’t do sets of whatever and drop the weight. You are holding the bar the whole squat track while it’s designed to burn you out. I love pump so much though!!
