Yesterday a co-worker stopped by and mentioned, off the cuff, that she was in "extreme pain." I asked what was wrong and learned that the pain was the result of having just begun participating in Body Pump classes at a local gym.
I’ve done Body Pump–most recently three years ago–and written on the topic. A male reader commented negatively to one of my old posts because he thinks Body Pump is lame. Well, sure, if you’re preparing for a bodybuilding or figure competition or trying to develop strength, Body Pump is lame.
Is it lame for my friend, a good-looking, energetic 30-something woman who wants to lose post-baby fat and get back in shape? I don’t think so.
