bodypump craze......

so here's a post for my kids to laugh at - when they're older and read this, they can google "bodypump" and read how long this exercise/workout fad lasted before it fizzled out - my guess is 2 years.......then they can ask me how anyone thought it was a good idea to have a workout program that consists of the same exercises to the same music for 3 months.......and the music is awful!.......mostly all dance club like songs that get stuck in your head and when you hear them out somewhere make you want to bust out and do some squats or chest presses.......it's a highly choreographed weight lifting group exercise class.......in theory it's a good idea to have a weight lifting group class - brings in more women since they don't typically cross over from the cardio area of the gym floor to the weight lifting side, but it's such a strict and expensive program that i don't see it lasting.......first you have to be certified in bodypump to teach it - so $300 for the certification.......then even if you pass the training, you have to video yourself teaching a live class, pay $50 and have the bodypump gods review and give you another pass......then every 3 months you have to pay $45 to get the package with the new music and exercises.......seriously??.......i only teach 1-2 classes a week at $30 a pop!!.......is this really worth it??.......it's somewhat fun, but memorizing the choreography is a pain and having these pop songs in my head are driving me nutty.......anyway, just a fun post to see how long the bodypump craze lasted......
