Les Mills Pump Workout

Hey there fellow fitness folks! If you have been around here long enough you know that I have done The Insanity Workout & P90X as well as attend CrossFit Gym a few times a week. You might ask why so much,but really is it that much? There are only so many times you can do the same workouts over and over so that is why I like to mix it up.

• This is why Les Mills Pump Workout is a breath of fresh air for me and I am not just talking about the cool accents! lol With Insanity and P90X those are 6 day a week workouts. Sure you can do less days, but it is built around the full 6 days. Les Mills Pump is just 3 days a week and I find it as a great supplement for my current workout strategy. One of the biggest things that makes people stop working out and get lazy is lack of new routines. If you go to the gym day in and day out doing he same thing you are going to get bored and quit!
• With Les Mills you are guided by a handful of PUMP trainers that keep you motivated and push you to the next level. They use what is called THE REP EFFECT™ which uses lighter weights at higher rate of reps. They are saying that you can burn up to 1,000 calories per Les Mills Pump Workout. Now in my opinion how many calories you are going to burn is going to be on how hard you push yourself. We all know we have the days we really push and we have the days where we just get by! Regardless this workout is going to get you into shape, no doubt about it. In fact most workouts out there will get you into shape, but you are the deciding factor to actually do the work! Les Mills just gives you the tools and the moves to become a fat burning machine and get the body you have always wanted.

This is a common question I get about all of the workouts we review on this site. The simple answer is that you have to know your fitness level. If you have never been to a gym before or done routines like this, it may be a little intimidating. The great thing about the Pump Workout is you get 8 Dvd's with 1 of them being the Les Mills PUMP Basics that will show you how to get your weights set up and learn about proper grip and stances to do the workouts. The other thing to remember is that you can press the pause button at any time. Catch your breath, practice a move, and get confident in the exercises. There is no intimidation of being in a gym type workout class environment where you get nervous. You got at your own pace until you feel confident. Since I have been working out for years I pick most of this up fairly quickly, but most people I talk to that are just starting out usually say it takes about 2 weeks for them to become really comfortable with the moves. That is not just for Les Mills Pump, but for the Insanity Workout, P90X, Power 90 etc...

• The FINAL TRUTH is that you are going to get into shape do the Les Mills Pump Workout! It is a no brainer. If you stick with it and do the work you are going to see results. If you were to get a personal trainer it would cost you literally $1,000's... Seriously if you had a trainer doing this type of workout for 90 days it would cost a ton! You have your own personal trainer you can hit the pause button on ;-).
• ll I can say is give this workout a shot! The other great thing is support is phenomenal there are forums, call centers all you need to get going.
