-Gold's Gym: BodyFit

Today, Ryan (roommate) and I tried out the new BodyFit workout at Gold's Gym...

My thoughts:
  • About ONE-HOUR!!!!
  • This workout is not as "heart-pumping" as other workouts I have tried (i.e., CrossFit or Kwando @ Bally's)
  • BUT, it is a killer toning workout and I reached complete muscle failure. You use a barbell (set the weights respective to your fitness level).
  • You don't get much time for water slash rest, maybe a few seconds here and there throughout the workout!
  • You definitely make this workout as hard or as easy as you want; And with majority ladies in the class you want to push yourself with more weights and keep up with the instructor.
  • I did not, and Ryan agrees, feel awkward or embarrassed one bit during this exercise (about a quarter of the class is male). I know this is a reason why most guys don't try this stuff.
  • TOTAL BODY WORKOUT!!! At one point I was at total muscle failure on a lot of the exercises, which is kind of the point.
Overall, I was very pleased with this workout and would definitely incorporate this one a week to mix things up. With Crossfit and BodyFit, I think I can reach my fitness goals.

Tomorrow, Crossfit W.O.D. from last Friday that I missed, it's going to be a good one! I am looking forward to passing out from utter fatigue.
