Don’t Just Workout, ROCK OUT. Turning workouts into fitness concerts and music into movement, POUND® uses Ripstix®, lightly weighted exercise drumsticks, to transform drumming into a sweat dripping, full-body workout. Participants let loose, rock out and get lost in the music as they combine cardio, conditioning, and strength training with pilates-inspired movements. Join us BACKSTAGE where you'll find on-demand POUND workouts to fit any age, any stage and any amount of time! No experience or rhythm required, just the desire to ROCK. The Method Behind The Music. + Each 2-4 minute song on the POUND® soundtrack has been carefully calibrated with interval peaks and extended fat burning sequences, providing you with the best workout in the shortest span of time. In a 45-minute class, you’ll have completed thousands of reps, over 30 extended interval peaks, and more than 70 techniques without even realizing it. + Strengthen and sculpt infrequently used muscles, and drum your way to a leaner, stronger physique – all while rocking out to your favorite music! + Drastically improve your rhythm, timing, coordination, speed, agility, endurance, and musicality. Instead of counting reps or keeping track of the clock, POUND strategically distracts you from the high-intensity and duration of your workout, shifting your focus to rhythm and volume. + Numerous studies have proven the powerful brain-boosting, stress-relieving effects of drumming. The rhythm of drumming permeates the entire 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. See you Backstage! BACKSTAGE by POUND offers a subscription service that you can subscribe to using your Apple ID. You can subscribe monthly or yearly. You’ll be charged as a recurring transaction through your iTunes account starting at the end of your free trial (unless you cancel during the free trial).
