Body Attack

I signed up for Body Attack tomorrow on a whim because Body Balance was fully booked, I've never done it before. Not very fit, carrying extra blubber from Christmas. Am I going to die?

No, you will be fabulous! Listen to your body and take the options, you don't need to go full gas for the whole class. It's a cardio workout with two cardio peaks and a recovery. You can take all the impact out if you want/need to. And remember, it's group exercise, not rocket science, have fun!

It’s a great work out, one of my fave work-outs!

Totally agree with the previous poster, if you try to do the maximum or even half intensity options you might find it too much, but you can really bring it down. And unlike some traditional aerobic classes it's really uncomplicated.

Thank you all so much, that's really eassuring! Quite looking forward to it now

There are always lower impact options so take it at your own pace/level.

Body attack and body combat are my favourite and I'm fat and unfit.
Just don't try to go too hard and if you need to modify do it. You'll hopefully enjoy it and can book in more often

I love body attack but it’s very different from balance! It’s a very upbeat cardio workout. It’s great fun and gives you a real buzz!

Eldermillenialyogi · 12/01/2025 23:23

I really like body combat

you will find it difficult if it's your first time but as PPs say take the options

@MotherOfMonkeys0 how was it?

dementedpixie · 13/01/2025 18:28

If it was the newest release body attack then I did it today and the music was awful. Bring back the old style attack where you can sing while you work out.

MotherOfMonkeys0 · 13/01/2025 18:39

Apart from the music it was great! Really enjoyed it, just took it at my own level. Post -3 children, jumping jacks are a no-no but the rest was fine, bouncy and fun. Agree on the music though, doof doof doof, not good!

Ah, that’s a shame about the music, though I’m glad you liked it! I also miss the old soundtracks from body combat.
