They offer this class at my gym, Im trying to lose weight. Will this be effective? I also do cardio 4-6 times a week.

Yes I've tried it and it's my favourite of all the programmes offered by les mills cos it's easy to follow and effective as well...i'm addicted to it...It's good if you're trying to lose weight cos it will somehow help you gain muscle (if you do like maybe 2 to 3 times a week) which will help to burn fat in addition to the cardio that you do 4-6 times a week....and i noticed i'm starting to have a nicer shoulder too...though after the class you might feel the pain...but no pain no gain...it's fun!

Body pump? As in "les Mills"?
I love it. I've been doing it a year now. It keeps me in shape. Just be sure to talk to the instructor first if youre a starter, so that you would know the right positions and advice you the right weights so you won't get injured.
But basically- once you get the hang of it. You can make your own routines with your own songs at home. ^_^ Their tracks can quite be too- "clubby". Hahahah-- yeah- but I love body pump.
Weights are effective in losing wheight- do a 30 minuete cardio workout after it. So that the muscles that you targeted during Body Pump burns more calories!

I wanted to but I chickened out.....Though, the Body Pump is very similar to the "Firm" videos. If you have access to library or video rental place
that has a video, rent it to check it out. Or I'm sure your gym will allow you to monitor a class
for a day just to "watch".
