Body Combat - Part 2

This is my 2nd post about Body Combat (aka BC), my favourite Group-Xercise Class at the gym. Exactly what is BC and why am I so enthralled by it? Read on to find out...

What is Body Combat?
BODYCOMBAT™ is a non-combat, martial arts-based fitness program with moves drawn from Karate, Tae Kwan Do, Kung Fu, kickboxing, Muay Thai and Tai Chi. Each 55-minute BODYCOMBAT™ class is choreographed to 10 tracks of the latest music, providing an exhilarating exercise experience that delivers ultra-fast fitness results.

BODYCOMBAT™ Benefits

• Improves heart and lung function and reduces the risk of heart disease
• Tones and shapes key muscle groups
• Burns calories for a leaner body
• Improves co-ordination and agility
• Improves bone density
• Improves posture and core strength and stability
• Builds self-confidence

A typical class consists of 10-Tracks as follows :

• Track 01 : Warm Up
• Track 02 : Combat 1
• Track 03 : Power 1
• Track 04 : Combat 2
• Track 05 : Power 2
• Track 06 : Combat 3 aka Recovery
• Track 07 : Muay Thai
• Track 08 : Power 3
• Track 09 : Conditioning
• Track 10 : Cool Down

For me, I usually skip Track 9 & 10. However, I will stay beyond Track 8 if the instructor adds on additional tracks (which they often does) instead of proceed to Conditioning after Track 8.

As mentioned in "Body Combat - Part 1", I hit the gym typically thrices weekly on Tues & Sat as they're my usual gym days. Mon, Wed, Fri & Sun are the other possible days. Over the past 20mths of BC-ing, I've come to 'compile' my personal list of favourite, not-too-bad & cannot-make-it (CMI) instructors. You will hardly (if ever) see me attending the class if its conducted by those on my CMI listing.

I've also compiled a list of my favourite tracks as follows :

• Track 01 : BC2901, Thank You
  
• Track 02 : BC2802, The Final Countdown
  
• Track 03 : BC3303, Angel Eyes
  
• Track 04 : BC2704, Tribal Dance
  
• Track 05 : BC3605, Don't You Wanna Feel
  
• Track 06 : BC3506, That's Right
  
• Track 07 : BC3107, We Rock
  
• Track 08 : BC3408, Believe In Me
  
• Add-On 1 : BC2303, Field of Dreams
• Add-On 2 : BC3003, Shooting Star

PS : Conditioning & Cool-Down skipped as I do not usually do them. :)
