BodyPump is a weight-based group-fitness program, created and
distributed globally by Les Mills International. BodyPump classes
are 60 minutes long and contain eight separate muscle-group
specific songs or “tracks” along with an opening warm up track and
closing cool-down track.The classes are performed to music using
free weights-plates, barbells and an aerobic step. Participants
choose their weights based on the exercise and their personal
goals. Major muscle groups are worked via series of compound and
isolation-based exercises including squats, presses, dead lifts.

high repetitions, what Les Mills calls the REP EFFECT
