Led by Yesim Peddy, who never stops smiling, we rocked to a variety of music, from Lorde to Aerosmith, as we poured our inner rock stars into a vibrant, effective workout using hollow drumsticks called Ripstix®.
Ripstix®, which are lightly weighted, are engineered specifically for exercising so that POUND® transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out.
Instead of listening to music, you become the music in this exhilarating full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and Pilates-inspired movements.
It wasn’t that hard to follow, and even though I think I’m fit, POUND worked a lot of muscles I didn’t realize I had.
POUND is designed for all fitness levels, provides the perfect atmosphere for letting loose, getting energized, toning up and rockin’ out! The workout is easily modifiable and the alternative vibe and welcoming philosophy appeals to men and women of all ages and abilities.
What Does POUND Do For You?
- It helps you drum your way to a leaner, slimmer physique – all while rocking out to your favorite music!
- It burns calories -- up to 900 an hour.
- It strengthens and sculpts infrequently used muscles
- It improves your rhythm, timing, coordination, speed, agility, endurance, and musicality.
- It cinches the waistline, slims the thighs, and strengthens connective tissue and muscles with the combination of stability and cardio.
- It boosts your brain! Studies show drumming has powerful brain-boosting, stress-relieving effects of drumming. The rhythm permeates the brain to improve focus, increase higher-level thinking and decision-making skills, boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, decrease chronic pain, anxiety, and fatigue.
I finished the workout feeling invigorated, and a little like I’d just been to a rock concert. Next time I might let out a scream or two, a la Steven Tyler! Will I see you there?
