*Knock,
knock* Is anyone still here? I know I’ve been a stranger to the blog,
and I could offer up tons of excuses (my parents are living with us,
work is a little stressful, my dad is having cognitive and health
issues, my grandma had
another heart attack, etc, etc), but instead, I’m just going to tell
you that I am going to do better. I will. But that’s not what I wanted
to tell you about.
What I wanted to tell you about was something much, MUCH more fun.
Just because I may have neglected this blog for the last month and a half does NOT mean I have been neglecting my fitness program. I have been pushing hard with Les Mills Pump for the last 30 days. Do you think you can’t see a difference in as little as 30 days? I disagree. In fact, I have something to show you:
The picture on the left was taken on February 10th in preparation of me beginning Pump on the 11th. The picture on the right was taken yesterday, March 13 – 30 days after starting Pump. Crazy, right? Even crazier, here’s a close-up of my face from February 10th and March 13 (please forgive the pale, colorless skin):
Does it look like the same person? I was shocked and delighted. I have to admit, I am so excited to see the results from the entire 90 days of the program.
So what is this program?
Les Mills Pump is the first-ever at-home version of BODYPUMP® — the incredibly popular series of gym classes created by Les Mills International and taught in 80 countries across the world. The program is designed around weight-training just three days a week but also includes an incredibly touch ab workout as well as a yoga workout. Cardio is incorporated, but they allow you to choose your own cardio – something that is a huge factor in why I chose this program. Some days I catch up on Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, or Pretty Little Liars while on the elliptical. Other days, I return to my first love and go for a run with some heart-pounding music. There are limitless cardio options. All that matters is that you move and get that heart rate up!
The
other reason I gravitated towards this program? The longest workout is
still just under an hour. Real results in less than an hour a day?
Yes, please!
What comes in the box?
Everything you see here comes in a Les Mills Pump Challenge pack: the workout DVDs, a nutrition guide, a padded barbell, 2 5lb weight plates, 2 10lb weight plates, and 30 days’ worth of Shakeology. I will explain why I now swear by Shakeology in an upcoming post - SOON. I think I’ve rambled enough today. I will just leave you with this:
