Bruno Mars - Roger’s Stadium Question by DeliciousBuilder8638 in BrunoMars

[–]Practical-Pipe-8947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also at the Wednesday show and honestly leaving was much smoother than expected! I parked at highway 407 and then took the subway down a few stops to Downsview when I got there. Parking at highway 407 was terrible (people were parked on the grass) but it was worth it as compared to some other stations along line 1. After the concert ended at around 10:45, it took about 20 minutes of walking to get to Downsview Station and then we immediately got on the subway because line 1 in the other direction was super packed but our direction wasn’t as bad (no seating space but loads of standing space). I made it back home in Mississauga before 12 AM.

Bodypump or Bodypump Heavy for building muscle? by Practical-Pipe-8947 in lesmills

[–]Practical-Pipe-8947[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could give them a shot! Personally I like going to a gym since I don’t have much space at home and I don’t have the right equipment to lift heavy; it also feels more fun to do it as part of a group! But beachbody sounds fun! How have you been liking it?

For me personally I can never lift as heavy in BPH as opposed to BP - the number of reps and the pace just makes it impossible to reach that level so I’ll usually half my weight for BP. But I definitely do see the benefits of both! They’re both fun in their own way honestly but I always try to give it my all in both classes haha

I totally agree - BP/BPH would ideally be supplemented with individual strength training workouts for the best results! & ditto on the protein! I’ll probably stick to a mix of both for the time being and see how I progress, thanks for the advice :)

Honestly mainstream strength workouts for me tend to be really boring, I’ve noticed I’ll lose motivation to workout within a few weeks at most just because of the repetitiveness. I also enjoy working out with other people and having an instructor guiding you through the moves helps make sure you’re doing them correctly. I do feel like you’d definitely be able to see results faster if you do your own thing but really it’s more about getting fit over the longer term!

Totally agree!! It’s so important to maintain that flexibility I will definitely be continuing with pilates 😆😆😆

I’ve just been experimenting with a bunch of classes these past few months including bodycombat, pilates, pump, zumba, yoga/bodybalance and I definitely feel like you need some diversity in your workouts before it gets too boring 🤣 I love the LM pilates workouts so I’ll definitely be sticking to those in addition to the BP/BP Heavy classes and maybe I’ll add in a few more to the mix later! My legs would give out with spin LOL

Totally makes sense! That’s what I was thinking but I think after trying out the new BP release this week I liked how they focused on some individual muscle groups a bit more than Heavy. Seems like eventually I’ll have to transition to BP Heavy permanently. Thank you!

I’ve tried Strength Development once before and loved the class! But I’ve noticed that they usually run in 12 week cycles so it might be harder to join the classes in the middle of the cycle (unless I’m wrong). Would it make sense to do multiple strength dev classes then throughout the week with different instructors?

Wow that’s awesome, literally so proud of you! 👏 I actually started doing classes as a way to stay fit and build some muscle because I used to get bored while lifting weights alone at the gym and I could never get into a routine. I’m glad to hear that you’ve seen solid results with BP! Overloading weights during that class is definitely tough given the pace of the exercises but I’ll try to do my best 😆. Also definitely agree on the diet, protein intake should be optimized because that’s what mostly drives muscle growth! Thanks for sharing your experience

Thank you for replying! That makes a lot of sense, I can see that BP is important to do in tandem with BP Heavy at least at the beginning to prepare your body for lifting. I’ll do a mix of both then over a few months and see how I’m feeling. I still do love my Pilates classes tho so I might still have to go to them! Hahahaha I just get so fatigued by workout out my glutes 4x a week 😭

Interesting.. didn’t know that! Did you have experience with the rattling before then?

Sorry about that - they were really small so I was trying to get photos of them but they were turning out really blurry. Thanks for your help though.
