Beachbody Les Mills Pump–How to get the MOST out of your workout!!
Beachbody’s Les Mills Pump workout, one of Beachbody’s newest and hottest workouts, is my new fitness love. There is something about Les Mills Pump that gets me excited–a combination of the music, the instructors, the intensity, and the fact that I’m always shaking by the time I’m done with the workout. If you are doing or want to do Les Mills Pump, and you want to see AWESOME results, the one tip that I have is to make sure you are going heavy enough with your weights! Beachbody’s Les Mills Pump workout is a high repetition workout, so the weight selection is less than most workout programs I’ve done. However, it can be real easy to use light weights during the program and say that you’ve had a good workout. The way I gauge my workout is by how I’m feeling at the end of the track, and after the workout. If my legs are not shaking by the end of the track, then I didn’t go heavy enough. That is going to be different for each person, for me I use about 50lbs for the squat track, and 30-35 for the lunge track. You don’t want to go TOO heavy, you still want to make sure that you are getting the full range of motion with each repetition. That being said, you might have to do some trial and error with your weight selection the first week until you find your ‘sweet spot’. Once you figure that out, Les Mills Pump will get you LEAN and TONED!
