Describe A Typical Class:
Your BODYCOMBAT™ instructor will lead you through all the moves in this 55 minute workout which includes combat tracks (a mix of upper and lower body) and power tracks (boxing and fitness training).
- Warmup - Teaches all the moves that will be used throughout the class. Warms the body to leave you mentally and physically prepared for the battle ahead.
- Combat 1 - Visualize your opponent and engage in your first fight combination.
- Power Training 1- Enter an aerobic training zone with a focus on speed, power and endurance.
- Combat 2 - Fight for your life, with power and energy in every combination!
- Power Training 2 - The halfway mark, using punches only to drill the upper body for a second time.
- Combat 3 - An opportunity to recover as we lower the intensity to prepare for the final phase.
- Muay Thai - The workout explodes in a Muay Thai encounter where elbows and knees go into overdrive to take your fitness to the next level and leave your opponent for dust!
- Power Training 3 - Give everything you have and don’t look back until you complete this upper-body power blast and seal the deal on your fitness objectives.
- Conditioning - Take to the floor to complete the workout with strength training.
- Cooldown - Payback time – where you stretch out and lengthen all those hard-worked muscles.
