I\u2019ll admit it. I\u2019m a skeptic. Workout fads are nothing new (Thigh Master. The Gazelle. Piloxing\u2026 just to name a few) and I\u2019m kind of a workout snob. If I\u2019m going to get to the gym, change, and then have to drive allllll the way home (le sigh), I\u2019d better get my time\u2019s worth in calorie-burning, sweat-inducing results. So when VENT Fitness Guilderland General Manager and Group Fitness Manager Gina LaViolette mentioned a free preview of POUND taking place on November 3, I was less than enthused.<\/p>

A little half-hearted sleuthing on the intwerwebs reveals POUND as \u201cTHE WORLD\u2019S FIRST CARDIO JAM SESSION INSPIRED BY THE INFECTIOUS, ENERGIZING AND SWEAT-DRIPPING FUN OF PLAYING THE DRUMS.\u201d In my fierce household competition for fitness tracker domination, my husband (and occasional drummer) consistently tops my activity levels by several thousand steps and significantly more calories any day he plays. So the appeal of drumming for a workout may not be so far-fetched. And, 10 seconds into my first of the purposefully gritty, rock-themed promotional videos I was definitely intrigued\u2026 And POUND sounded less fad-ish and more like fitness genius.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s the musicality,\u201d explains POUND certified instructor Linda Tedesco when asked what is it that sets POUND apart. \u201cThe fun. And discovering you\u2019re doing things you never thought you were capable of.\u201d Tedesco, who has been group fitness certified for two years, said her first experience with POUND was over four years ago at New York City\u2019s \u201cWorkout in the Park\u201d in Central Park. \u201cI was hooked,\u201d she says, and its clear that something phenomenal happened that day \u2014 she was inspired to pursue drumming in classes and with other drum-based fitness programs. \u201cYou\u2019ll be be-bopping along to great music (think Fall Out Boy, Sia, and other Top 40 artists) and you won\u2019t even realize how hard you\u2019re working.\u201d With weighted drum sticks and choreography that even the most uncoordinated can grasp (hi, me), POUND promises 45 minutes of total body workout, targeting arms, glutes and core while also improving flexibility. And while Tedesco will demonstrate higher-intensity options, fellow VENT Fitness and POUND certified instructor, Regina Epp will join her and offer modifications. \u201cWe\u2019ll be previewing level I, but you can turn up the intensity as you like,\u201d Tedesco says.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWe are committed to leading the curve,\u201d LaViolette says. \u201cWe want to continue to offer up and coming programs for our members.\u201d In keeping with that theme, VENT Fitness will offer Zumba Kids beginning the first weekend in November, as well as a handful of yoga workshops geared for both beginner and novice practitioners. Following the free POUND preview, and based on member interest, plans are already in the works to offer POUND in a six-week session. \u201cWe\u2019ll confirm dates shortly,\u201d LaViolette said. Interested members can pre-register HERE<\/a>.<\/p>

A quick visit to poundfit.com reveals a rabid fan base, success stories of weight loss and motivation, and one instructor\u2019s take, something that Tedesco enthusiastically echoes \u2014 \u201cI\u2019ve never met a person who didn\u2019t love POUND after taking it!\u201d<\/p>

The free POUND Preview will be offered at 8:30 a.m., Thursday, November 3 at VENT Fitness Guilderland and will feature VENT Fitness group fitness and POUND certified instructors Linda Tedesco and Regina Epp. Members are invited to register HERE<\/a>.<\/p>

Participants should bring a yoga mat, towel and water bottle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
