Yesterday was an exciting day. I got to dress up in crazy 80’s workout gear with fellow instructors.
Meet another pregnant instructor.
And rocked out to a new Body Pump release.
We were onto release 80, so an 80’s theme seemed just right.
Records, albums and all the bright neon color everywhere looked amazing.
My first class I taught was with Andrew, the best Zumba instructor out there. He just couldn’t stop shaking his booty in those short shorts!
In that workout I taught squats, back, biceps, shoulders and abs.
Andrew taught warm up, chest, triceps, lunges (we were getting air born!) and cool down.
Then later that day I taught with Kim. She’s pretty awesome.
Basically what I taught with Andrew was reversed, so I had to be ready for every single track in the release.
It was a such a fun and energetic launch, but boy was I tired after teaching 2 classes!
Every Body Pump classes follows the same format:
Warm Up
Squats
Chest
Back
Triceps
Biceps
Lunges
Shoulders
Abs
Cool Down
Definitely the most challenging tracks for me were triceps (tri push ups!), shoulders (so many push ups!) and lunges (jumpin u!p). Challenging is a good thing though, it helps make changes to the body.
Want to read about a previous launch? Check it out launch 79 here. I hope to do a more in depth post on what body pump is really all about soon, so if you have any specific questions about it, please leave them in the comments and I’ll be sure to answer them.
Today I plan to go for a quick run on my lunch break. It’s been beautiful weather here, hovering in the 50s and sunny. Perfect running weather!
Hope your Tuesday treats you well!

Wahoo! What a fun way to do it all 🙂 I LOVE release 80. You saw what we did for it—but yours is totally decorated. So cool! I love the squats track so much….and the shoulders and lunges. Hurts so good 🙂
Yes, those squats do hurt so so good 🙂
How fun!! I don’t think my gym does launches that fun!!
I am not sure if it’s 80, but they just launched the new track at my gym. Can’t wait to try it!
We like to keep it fun at the Y :). And it probably was 80, you’ve gotta try it!
That looks like SO much fun! I would have loved the 80s attire! My fav! You look so fit and healthy! I’m trying to keep fit as best I can as a preggo mom!
Thanks Erin 🙂 and I just hoped over to your site and left this comment, but I totally missed that you were pregnant! So excited for you lady!!
how fun! you looked so cute in your 80’s attire!
Fun! We did an 80’s theme for our RPM 53 launch last week. This release just had that 80’s vibe.
Nice! Leg warmers and all? 😉
How fun! Looking fab 😀
Looks like such a fun night! I love the 80’s clothes!
They sure were fun to wear!
