Scientists have called out strength training as the most life-changing training modality of all. Not only does it make you stronger and fitter, but ground-breaking research also links regular strength training with living a longer and healthier life. There’s evidence that strength training can improve heart health more significantly than cardio exercise and studies show how high-repetition strength training can grow stronger bones. And if you’re looking to lose weight, strength training is key to maintaining a healthy weight for the long term, as loss of lean muscle tissue during weight loss bumps up the risk of weight regain down the track.

Les Mills BODYPUMP is a high-repetition barbell workout that focuses on endurance and functional conditioning, making it suitable for all fitness levels. It combines high repetitions with light to moderate weights, making it accessible for various fitness levels. The class is choreographed to music, enhancing motivation and engagement. Unlike traditional strength training programs that may emphasize heavier weights and lower reps for muscle growth, BODYPUMP uses lighter weights with higher repetitions to improve strength endurance and overall fitness.

This 30 minute class uses a mat and light to medium weights and is offered on video in the Movement Room. Contact Sylvia Lanier with questions: 443-326-7416, [email protected]
