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). Payment automatically renews unless you cancel your account at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You can manage your subscription, cancel anytime, or turn off auto-renewal by accessing your iTunes account.
