Pound/Tabata


POUND® is a full-body cardio jam session, combining light resistance with constant simulated drumming. The workout fuses cardio, Pilates, isometric movements, plyometrics and isometric poses. Replacing the quintessential arm pumping of Pilates with the rapid arm movements of drumming, POUND® incorporates lightly weighted exercise drumsticks (Ripstix®) and choreography based on a series of four positions with endless techniques, cadences and advanced variations.

Twice the weight of a standard drumstick (¼ lb each) and slightly shorter in length, Ripstix® are designed to maximize your workout and get you ripped by altering the physics of your arm movement to burn more calories.

Designed for all fitness levels, POUND® 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. POUND® hooks gym-goers, exercise novices and conditioned athletes alike by condensing all the best hand-picked cardio, strength training, Pilates and HIIT techniques into a streamlined sequence intensified by the intermittent conditioning and stability elements of drumming.
