Are You Ready to Get Pumped?

I like to go the YMCA on South Perry Street for a quick workout on my lunch hour. I use to have a hard time motivating myself to go because…well, it’s working out! Most of us don’t really look forward to the pain associated with exercise, but we sure like the results.
          
However, recently I’ve been pretty excited about going to the gym because of this class called BodyPump.  It’s an exercise class that involves working out to music that helps you forget about the pain… because you’re too busy having FUN.  The workout’s music tempo starts slow and increases as the workout gets tougher. You work out your entire body using a barbell at different angles, and you get a good stretch in while you’re at it. You can adjust the weight as you want so men and women can give it a shot.
        
It’s perfect for those of us who like to get a good sweat in on our lunch breaks. The class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:15-1:00 p.m. You’ll see me and a few other people you probably know when you go, so you won’t be alone. Hope to see you there!
