The Pound Rockout Workout is a unique and exhilarating total-body dynamic resistance and cardio workout that centers on drumming. Yes, you read that right. This is not the usual drumming, though. For a start, you won’t be sitting.
Instead, you will be standing, moving around, and squatting as you hit Ripstix®, which are lightly weighted sticks specially made for the workout.
And instead of hitting a drum skin, you will be banging the sticks together to your right or left, straight ahead, overhead, or squatting and hitting them on the ground in front of you in moves that are yoga and Pilates-inspired.
Pound Rockout Workouts are noisy, fun, and very challenging.
Some moves target the upper body, some the lower body, and others the core.
If you can take a Pound exercise class, I recommend that you do. Or get a copy of the Pound Rockout Results System and do the workout at home if you can’t. Either way, this program can help you get into the best shape of your life.
Keep reading this review to learn about the Pound workout benefits and what to expect if you buy the DVD.

What is the vibe?
When undertaking the Pound Rockout Results System DVD workouts, you won’t have to count reps or minutes, so you will become completely immersed in the beat, rhythm, and sound.
Each 2 to 4-minute long song you will be exercising to will synchronize perfectly with the moves. You will be having so much fun; you won’t realize just how many reps you’ve done.
During each 45-minute Pound exercise class, you will do as many as 15,000 reps, more than 30 extended interval peaks, and 70 different techniques.
Everything is included to give you a great workout. However, you’ll probably want to exercise on a yoga mat if you are concerned about disturbing your housemates or neighbors when striking the sticks on the floor.
The Ripstix® are compact enough to fit into a gym bag easily. They come with a pouch that is useful for storing them or taking them along when you vacation. Their composition is such that you will be able to take them through airport security without having to worry that they will set off alarms.

Pound Rockout Workout Overview
The Pound Rockout Results Systems DVD contains nine total body workouts that will quickly elevate your heart rate and have you sweating.
These include 4 x 30 minute Pound classes, 4 x interval challenges, and a 45-minute “live” class. All will elevate your heart rate and quickly have you sweating.
There’s also a 101 How-To-Tutorial which contains everything you need to know to get the most from the program.
The workouts start with a 5-minute Warm-Up and end with a 5-Minute Cool-Down, making them 30 minutes long in total. Each provides a full-body workout.
The workouts are broken down into 4 x 5-minute segments containing different moves, with each component being one song track long.
The song and the drum rhythm change every five minutes, along with the moves. Muscle groups targeted include those of the lower body, the upper body, and the abs and core.
One of the workouts is cardio-based, targeting the entire body.
Next, we will look at the four main Pound Rockout Results System DVD workouts.
The Workouts
Bass Line:
When doing Bass Line, you will be striking the ground a lot with your Ripstix®. You will be in an almost 
constant Sumo Squat or Plie position, and you will also be doing Lunges.
The workout is easy to follow but very challenging. Your legs will burn within 5 minutes of starting and continue to do so throughout.
Focusing on the music, the rhythm, and the noise of your sticks hitting the ground will help you get through it.
Tune Up:
Tune Up targets the entire upper body with a particular emphasis on the upper back and triceps.
Surprisingly, the added weight of the Ripstix® doesn’t make the workout any more challenging, but you can expect your muscles to feel a bit sore the next day.
Core and Abs:
Core and Abs features Russian Twists, Oblique Crunches, and Earthquakes, among other moves, plus lots of hitting the sticks together and on the ground.
As with Tune Up, the workout feels quite comfortable, but your abs, core, and obliques will be protesting the next day.
Cardio:
Cardio combines each of the other three workouts with a few extra moves.
The workout is customizable to suit the individual’s fitness level, with a modifier demonstrating an easier version. Advanced exercisers can go harder and pick up the pace.
Pound Rockout Workout DVD Summary
If you’re bored with your current workout and looking for something new and different, the Pound 
Rockout Workout could be right up your alley. Providing a total body workout, do the workouts regularly and you will burn fat, build lean muscle and lose weight.
While the program is challenging, the noise and rhythm are contagious, making it easier to keep going even when your legs are screaming for mercy, and believe me, they will.
Still, many people who undertake the workouts have said that they are so much fun, they honestly don’t feel like work.
If you find the intensity too much, slow your pace and don’t bend as deeply into the squats.
