Les Mills Pump vs. Les Mills Pump Deluxe

As I come to the end of my fourth month of Les Mills Pump, I realized something:

I should have ordered the Deluxe Kit.

The cardio workouts are AMAZING!  I ended up buying a Reebok step to use for the step workout.  It's perfect but then I tried to use it to do the chest exercises in the weightlifting workouts.  It's way too short and I spend more time readjusting my position because my neck hurts and it sucks because when I use the bench for the chest exercises, it just feels so much more effective.

So if you are on the fence about whether to order the basic Les Mills Pump package or the Deluxe, trust me:  You're going to want the Deluxe!

Les Mills Pump Ultimate Cross Training - Brazil Butt Lift Hybrid (60 days)

 Okay here it is.  Is it perfect?  Probably not.  I might even change things around as I get in to the program(s) more.  I might move High & Tight/Bum Bum to weight-training days.  Who knows?  All I know is I love High & Tight and Bum Bum and wanted to incorporate them in with the full body Les Mills Pump plan.  I might add some jogging in to the mix too.  :)  I'll also be trying to eat a lot cleaner foods.  Let me know what you think or if you want more information on any of the Beachbody programs.  Oh and there is a chance that my husband's cousin might be able to retrieve the original schedule I made so if that happens, I'll post it here too if it varies drastically.

So What's Next?

I’m currently on Week 12 of Les Mills Pump.  I have actually slacked off on planning my next workout cycle. I have usually decided on what I’m doing next a month before I finish my current program.  My husband will be returning from his six month deployment in less than two months.  So my plan is to do an intense 60 day schedule to really firm up before he gets back.

I contemplated Insanity buuuuuut I don’t think I’m quite ready for that yet.  So I spent the better majority of last night planning out a Les Mills Pump Ultimate Crosstraining/ Brazil Butt Lift hybrid.  Before I do that, I’ll be doing the 3 Day Shakeology cleanse.  All four kids will in school this year - the younger two for just 2.5 hours a day/4 days a week.  I think I’ll do a little running too.

Balls to the wall baby!

Nine Months Later....

Wow!  It's been NINE MONTHS since I started my Beachbody Journey.  I have always equated "Nine Months" with weight gain thanks to four pregnancies.  I think this might be my favorite nine months though.  ;)



Overall I have lost 34 pounds and 21.75 inches in the last nine months!  Most of my pre-pregnancy clothes aren't even fitting anymore!

Les Mills Pump - 60 Days

So here are my post-60 day Les Mills Pump photos:





During this past month, I have lost 2 pounds and 3.8 inches!  After 60 days of Les Mills Pump I have lost a grand total of 7 pounds and 5.6 inches!  It looks like my tummy is toning up some too and my stubborn thighs are getting slimmer!

Les Mills Pump: Pump Extreme (My first time!)

I made this video the other day for my Challenge Group participants.  It was my first time doing Les Mills Pump: Pump & Shred.  I tried to keep the parts where I struggled to show my Challenge Group that I push myself, I know my limits, and I keep going no matter how much I want to stop. It never gets easier, you just get stronger!

Les Mills Pump Week 8 Day 1





Today I did Les Mills Pump Pump Extreme for the first time today.  WHOA!  I did miss Mr. Dirty Chest (Joel) but the return of Ben from Singapore made up for it!  

As always, I love motivational words from the late Mr. Bruce Lee.  <3

Pants on the Ground Thanks to Beachbody!

With my first pregnancy in 1997/98 I gained close to 100 lbs.  I never lost it all (surprise!) and so I was already overweight when I became pregnant 2 years later.  When I finally lost some weight and went shopping, I bought myself this pair of capri jeans.  Then I remarried and had two more kids and over the last few years, I couldn't even squeeze myself in to those "pre-baby" jeans any longer. 

Fast forward to today - July 16, 2012.  It's kind of hot so I put on this pair of capri jeans I bought back when I had "lost all the baby weight" after child number 2.


They are falling off of me!
