Therefore, during my first class, at the end of the bicep curls track, my biceps almost exploded and they hurt so much. But, in the class, I had to start lifting again once the instructor started doing it. Normally, for my weight training, after a set, I will take my time to rest before proceed to next set. Though with a pause between each track, I had to admit that my first class pretty challenging. Every exercise was wrapped up with a well deserved stretch to help with muscle recovery.Īfter few classes, I realized that Les Mill has 45-minutes class too – eight-track format is used, omitting the triceps and biceps tracks. Each exercise lasts the length of one track of music (which is about 4 to 5 minutes), with pauses between tracks used to alter weight levels. This choice was a big mistake indeed which I will share with you why.įor the 1-hour class, all the major muscle groups are worked out, from the warm up through legs, chest, back, triceps, biceps, shoulders and abdominals, before the stretch and cool down. Also, I told myself I better took more weights than the lady beside me. I have been doing weight training for close to two years, so, I took some heavy weight. Once I felt that the weights were like plastic material, I was wondering whether guys can get a real workout with them. Before the class started, like everyone else, I first took a platform (use as a bench), a bar and some weights. When I first entered the class, was shocked to find out that ladies outnumbered guys.
