" After sitting in front of a computer or staring at formulas on a whiteboard all day, there are few things better than a fun, energizing workout! POUND Rockout Workout is a new group workout that&amp;#039;s a combination of Pilates, cardio, and drumming. The class was started by two female drummers who wanted to share the exhilarating feeling of rocking out and pounding your drum sticks! The workout: Sitting on yoga mats staggered across the floor, our instructors, Kirsten and Christina, told us to grab the lime green drumsticks they had placed in front of us. After running through some basic drumming moves, we spent the next 30 minutes jamming out to loud rock music, and getting a serious core, lower body, and arm workout.  The pros: POUND combines Pilates, cardio, and a little bit of dance for a workout that doesn&amp;#039;t feel like a workout while you&amp;#039;re in the class \u2014 because it&amp;#039;s so fun! But, trust us, it works \u2014 we were sore for days afterward (in a good way!) Besides the physical health benefits, banging your drumsticks on the floor to angry music is a totally amazing stress reliever! Plus, the classes are 45, 30, or 15 minutes, so can choose the best interval of time that fits your busy schedule.  The cons: You have to be willing to feel a little silly slamming your drumsticks around! If you&amp;#039;re not a big fan of loud, group classes like Zumba or Kickboxing, this workout probably isn&amp;#039;t for you. Try it: Currently, POUND offers classes in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and Orange County. However, there are instructor-training sessions across the country, and you can visit the POUND site to request a class in your area! Do you think you would try the POUND workout?
