POUND® instructors Sandy Watro (@sandstorm909) and Lia Fischer (@theliafischer) lead a fitness class during @fitgirlclubla Self-Care Saturdays at the Third Street Promenade, July 3, 2021. Self-Care Saturdays is a series of free workouts. Instead of listening to music, participants become the music in this exhilarating full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements. Using Ripstix®, lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising, POUND transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out. 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® was created in 2011 by two women who were both recreational drummers and former college athletes. They relied heavily on stability-based exercises like pilates to keep their bodies aligned, symmetrical and lean, but were bored with routine and longed to reignite the fun in exercise. It wasn’t until they were forced to drum without a stool and squat over the drum kit that they realized drumming and exercise could be one and the same. #healthcaresaturdays @poundfit #poundfit @cboom_was_here 📸 @fabianlewkowicz
