Body Pump

Body Pump is to weight training what Hi-Lo Heaven is to floor aerobics. Incredibly fun, awesome music, and a total addiction! This is not like working out at all -- it's just pure fun. The music makes all the difference, I believe. You work out to songs with a great, motivating sound. Each song is one "mini-workout." For example, you do biceps/triceps to one song, shoulders to another, etc. It's a tough workout, but the instructor and music motivate you to do it -- and do it with a big smile. Some people have commented that Jackie isn't the best at cueing, and that's true. But you'll find that the lack (in spots) of cueing isn't really a big deal, and also, after you do it a few times, you know the pattern. Another thing I should mention is the video quality -- I've read on the forum where some people got a video with less-than-good quality. However, mine is just fine. I bought mine separately from the barbell set, so maybe there's a difference in how you buy it (just guessing). This tape cost $29.95, but it's worth every penny. I've had it for several months now, and I will never get tired of this fantastic workout. The only part I don't like about it, is that the Body Pump people have said they're not going to make any more! Grade A++++.
