Bodyattack is an exercise program marketed worldwide by Les Mills, a distributor of brand name exercise programs. It is a high-intensity cardiovascular exercise intended to develop a participant’s strength, agility, and stamina. The intense workout combines step aerobics with strength and physical training. The classes are carried out in a choreographed way with powerful music in the background to stimulate active participation in the exercises. Anyone with a moderate level of fitness can sign up for a Bodyattack class, held at spas or sports clubs in international locations.
The workout, which normally lasts 55 minutes, is divided into phases and tracks where the intensity and challenges of the exercises increase progressively. Stages and tracks as well as music and choreography are continually updated. The latest release of the program and its description are posted on the Les Mills website at www.lesmills.com.
The first phase of training begins with low-intensity aerobic routines to warm up a participant. Two tracks of medium intensity follow to increase the heart rate. The first phase is intended to strengthen the upper body and achieve core stabilization through push-ups and triceps exercises.
The second phase of the workout focuses on the lower body. Anaerobic exercises such as squats and lunges are performed. This phase involves class interaction that allows class members to motivate each other to push their own limits.
The third and final phase of the training involves more anaerobic exercises. It targets the back and abdomen. This phase culminates with a cooling track where the participant recovers from training through stretching exercises.
A participant must space class intervals appropriately to avoid extreme fatigue. Les Mills advises taking a day off from training before engaging in another session to allow the body to fully recover from the last workout. It is recommended that a participant exercise three times a week to achieve the best results.
Bodyattack does not require any equipment when performing the workout. However, a participant must wear comfortable clothing to exercise. He or she should also wear rubber shoes, preferably cross-training shoes, to provide good foot support, as workouts will have a lot of footwork. It is also recommended that a participant bring a bottle and a towel.
The Les Mills website offers a video to give potential participants an idea of what to expect in a training. The website also provides a hyperlink to help a person interested in Bodyattack locate spas or sports clubs where the exercise program is offered. Google Maps has been used to provide directions to a potential participant to go to a Bodyattack accredited training site in a particular location.
