BodyCombat 40 - Sizzler and tracklist

Celebrate 10 years of your favorite Martial Arts-inspired program with BODYCOMBAT® 40! A great mix of Martial Arts disciplines will ensure you’re challenged both physically and mentally with a larger variety of Strikes and Blocks to really keep you on your toes. There’s a great mix of old and new styles of music with a couple of bring-backs, a nod to the past and a hint of the future.

By the time you reach Track 2, you’ll have experienced Kick-boxing, Karate and Tae Kwon Do, and you’ll be ready to pull out your best Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan impersonations to I Know Kung-Fu. The Boxing ring beckons in Track 3 before your legs are challenged in Track 4 with three conditioning blocks – first the Kick KATA followed by the Esquiva, then the Jump Kick is unleashed. Let loose and have fun in Track 5 with Tutti Fruitti but don’t be fooled by the sing along nature of the song – you’ll be firing up the energy and throwing some power shots. Refocus your technique and re-center in Track 6 to Nickelback’s Burn It To The Ground before the onslaught that is Track 7. Speed by name, speed by nature – you’ll be unleashed in the Descending Elbow Sequence. There’s one goal in Track 8 and that’s to completely empty the tank – you’ll punch until you can’t punch any more. In Track 9 there’s a new move – the Komodo Dragon. It’ll challenge your core to the max but fear not – recovery is near with soft KATAs to Kings Of Leon’s hit Use Somebody. Stay with the fight!

Tracklist (draft version)

BodyAttack 65 - Sizzler

BODYATTACK® 65 is about challenging yourself and your members, and providing enough options so everyone can achieve their personal best! The music will keep your energy levels high and you’ll be moving continuously with hits from Fall Out Boy, Vanessa Hudgens and Lady Gaga.

That’s Not My Name provides the perfect energy for Track 2. This track has something for everyone with numerous options for both beginners and advanced members. You’ll be on fire in Track 3 with a huge amount of energy coming from the big moves and big music. You’ll reach your first peak with the new Squat Jump in Track 4, Tubthumping, before hitting the upper body with the Walking Back & Forward Plank in Track 5. This is a different way of conditioning the core and shoulder girdle stabilisers with gentle lengthening of the hamstrings as you move backwards and forward. Sing along to Rhythm Of The Night in Track 6, while getting up close and personal with your members as the class comes together on the floor for the Running Track. There’s work to be done in Track 7! Welcome on the tennis court! Be light and lifted in the Run and low and strong in the Bounces, like you’re waiting for a serve! Track 9 is challenging, with the energy pumping all the way from start to finish, but you’ll be motivated to keep at it with the aptly named Jump. An awesome peak for an awesome result!

BodyPump 70 - Sizzler and tracklist

The key focus of BODYPUMP® 70 is perfect timing. This means your body spends more time under tensionand this will get you in shape fast! The music in this release really ‘goes off’ – keep an ear out for beats you’ve never heard before in BODYPUMP®.

Game on in the Squat Track! Challenge yourself with more resistance. Don’t be fooled by the slow start and the Pop-Rock nature of the track – the back half bites hard with four sets of Singles and Bottom Halves back-to-back to finish! Go a little bit heavier in the Chest Track – Infinity 2008 is awesome and builds anticipation before you pump it! The new tempo means your muscles will be under tension for the maximum amount of time.

True Believer will inspire you to give it all you’ve got in the Back Track, before Christina Aguilera’s Keeps Getting’ Better drives you through the Triceps Track. You don’t need your bar but get ready to feel the burn in the Pushups and Kickbacks! Rock through the Biceps Track with Nickelback’s Gotta Be Somebody where Singles are the name of the game.

Take a deep breath before the Lunge Track. Sash! is back for this endurance track that is VERY intense and includes Lunges and Squats with a heavy weight. Ouch! Another classic Rock track is in the house with Thunderstruck motivating you through the Shoulders Track. There’s a new move in the Abdominals Track – the Rotator Plank. Kanye West’s Love Lockdown is unlike any Abs Track – get ready for a dark, dim, sexy beat!

BodyCombat 40 - 10 years

Thanks to Glen and Raina:

It is obvious from the start that this release is all about one big combat party! Presenters were Dan and Rach, Hernan and Tanya Walker from the UK.

Overall Glen really enjoyed this release - a lot more than he enjoyed BodyCombat 39. The complexity is a little higher than in BC39 (well, that wouldn’t be hard at all!), but again we have no evasive side kicks, no jump knees and no gingas.

The esquiva is back - and unusually it’s in track 4 (which means all you esquiva fans could do two esquiva tracks per class when you start mixing). Track 4 is a rock track with an esquivas/lunge/jump kick combo on the right hand side, which then goes into tubthumping in the middle - before going back into the rock track for the esquiva combo on the left (think a la We Will Survive from BC37).

Highlight for Glen is track 6 (and that’s odd because track 6 is usually one of his least favs) - there is a really cool side kick kata. Track 5 is great too - tonnes of performance opportunities with the Tutti Fruitti "a-whap-bap-ba-loo-bap a-whap-bam-boo!" (with everyone in the room throwing their arms up on the "BOO!") - felt a little like BodyAttack but heck that’s forgivable in a track 5. There are loads of jump jabs going forward and shuffling back.

The Muay Thai is probably the only track that perhaps is a little disappointing, the song is good ("Speed" - no idea who it is by but could be Nick Skitz or similar) but the chorry is d-u-l-l. It is literally just knees and descending elbows (addition - there are some streetbrawler downward punches in as well). Glen found it one of the easiest Muay Thais he has done (if not the easiest).
No crunches in the conditioning track again (weird two releases in a row) but again we have the hover and a new move the "komodo dragon" (think press up position bringing your knee to elbow, sounds to me like the upper body condition sometimes done in the BodyAttack).

Cool down is beautiful (with a lovely song "Use Somebody") and there are some great soft kata's to lower the heartrate. Fantastic end to the workout.

Overall, a great release. Nothing new (save the komodo dragon), nothing revolutionary but a decent workout and not totally basic chorry as was the case with BC39. The release is definitely not as hard as BC38 nor BC37 for example - no killer kick katas with 200 or more kicks but I think a solid release.

Preliminary tracklist:

1a: Layla (Caribbean Mix) - DJ U Hey vs DJ Minagawa from Skitzmiz 30
1b: Hot n Cold - Katy Perry
2: I Know Kung Fu - Shitdisco
3: Sweetheart (Squad-E Remix) - Rezonance-Q from Hardcore Til I Die
4: Is a mix of one rock track I don’t recall, then Tubthumping by Chumbawamba, then back to the original song
5: Tutti Frutti - Little Richard
6: Burn It To The Ground - Nickelback
7: A techno track called "Speed it up"
8: Set you free - N-trance
9: Let it Rock - Kevin Rudolf
10. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon

Ciproxine en sport

Ciproxine en sport, intensieve cardiosporten zoals BodyCombat en BodyAttack (dus geen darts, biljart of kaarten :)), zijn niet de goede maatjes. Hiervoor zijn verschillende redenen. Ten eerste verzwakt het antibioticum de pezen en vooral de achillespees. Dus als je reeds last hebt van je achillespees bestaat er een reƫel risico dat deze spontaan ontsteekt en zelfs bij sporten gaat scheuren.

Het tweede zeer leuke neveneffect van antibiotica is dat ze niet alleen de infectie bestrijdt, maar ook nog eens je goede cellen plaagt waardoor je conditie zo goed wordt als die van een schildpad die net een marathon heeft gelopen achter een oude, roeterende diesel. Dat heb ik woensdagavond in de BodyCombat aan den lijve mogen ondervinden al na de eerste cardio. There is no turning back, maar ik moest even mijn back turnen om onder de zuurstoftent te kruipen en de hartslag terug een beetje te laten dalen. En dan ga ik nog maar zwijgen van what’s hurts the most .... de downward punches doen niet op het gezicht van je tegenstrever, maar ... op het puntje van je eigen tong : )

Enige voordeel dat deze antibiotica geeft is het feit dat het je immuun maakt voor een aanval met Antrax. So come on Al Quida show me your balls.

Een ander voordeel is dat je zonder een hartslagmeter te dragen perfect weet dat je hart klopt en hoe. En nee het is dan niet omdat er mooie vrouwen (meervoud anders kom ik waarschijnlijk in de problemen) in de buurt zijn.

Piet zou zeggen wa hemme we vandaag gheleerd ?

Ten heerste: Dat ik misschien maar beter eens kan luisteren naar mijne dokteur
Ten twheede: Dat we het nog twee weken rustig aan moeten doen
Ten dherde: dat het dan nog eens twee tot drie weken duurt eer de conditie van die schildpad weg is
