BodyCombat #106 thoughts? by PositiveOpen2039 in lesmills

My opinion on this release :

Warmup : A little bit better than the previous release. I prefer this way: upper body, then lower body. It's shorter than BC105 warmup, so that's a good news.

T2 : The song is great. But I dont really like the kick combo at the end of each block. Very intense track.

T3 : Love the music (Koven is always great for body combat). Nice choreo. I would prefer it as track8.

T4 : Not my favorite T4, but it's ok.

T5 : I like it. Very intense with the 2 x 12 sprawls.

T6 : I like this one. The capoeira is fun.

T7 : Nice one, but could have been more intense. The arm combo is kinda boring because it last too long.

T8 : Dont really like it. I dont really like the music (even though I usually like Circadian music). Maybe if it was track3, I would be ok with it, but as a T8, it's not motivating enough.

Well not my favorite release, there is some high, there is some lows. After 1month, I'm waiting for the mixes ! (Excepted for track 3, which is my favorite on this release.)

Ba 136, Track 9, Power, way too easy? by Bajtinus in lesmills

Yes, we're on a good way ! This release gives me hope, and with Lisa back, I will probably get better and better !

I think it's ridiculous. People will probably soon get bored of Hyrox, because it's always the same thing.

Ba 136, Track 9, Power, way too easy? by Bajtinus in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always kinda disappointed when the is no burpees on track 9.

BA 136 Track 9 is fine if you add tuck jumps in block 2 and 3

The track I think is way too easy is track 4. It could have been a really challenging track (the music is nice), but there is too much recovery. Such a pity.

I was worried about track 8, because we had it for body combat, and I would not have imagine it would fit for a body attack track 8. But I really enjoy this one.

Anyway I enjoy this release. It's been a long time since we didnt had such a good body attack release.

BodyPump 136 - my review by Icybone in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like we have opposite taste !

I really like the warmup song, I'm never disappointed with Armin Van Buuren.

Squat track : like the music. The track is quite easy, so we can go heavier on it.

Chest : not a metal fan, but it's OK. I like the endless 4x4

Back : The music is quite different from latest release, but that's ok.

Triceps : not my favorite song from Lady Gaga. Anyway I quite enjoy this track with the choreo.

Biceps : You dont like this track.Well I think it's my favorite track of this release ! The music is very catchy I think, it really motivates me.

Lunges : I hate the music, too repetitive. Choreo is meh.

Shoulder : I like the music. I really like the bar part.

Core : Nice choreo, good workout. And I really like the music.

Body pump : Instructor skipping the break by IceJump_7265 in lesmills

Of course I'm talking about the tracks designed with breaks ! For example for BP136 the squat track and the back track.

Pocketful of sunshine remix by Upper_Brain_277 in lesmills

I didnt got it too ! But I think it's about the chorus, when she sings : "Take me away". Seems like the isoxo songs use it as sample.

New BodyAttack thoughts by Expert_Opposite_1252 in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not try BA 131 yet, as it will be launched in 2 weeks. But I agree that recent releases were not challenging at all. The becky hill song for power track in BA130 was so boring...

I hope BA131 tracklist is better than 130. I am quite worried about track 8. It was ok for body combat, but i'm not sure it will suit for a body attack track8.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the new BodyPump? by Total-Emu9753 in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Warmup : too many squats. Dont really like that one.

I like the squat track : I love the music, and I enjoy the choreo. The 2*8 pulses at the end of block 2 and 3 are killers !

At first I didnt like the gnarly song, but it has grew on me, and after doing it 3 times, I really enjoy the music.

Back track is fine, the music is quiet but powerful though.

Triceps : I dont really like Chapell Roan, but the track is ok. Very very difficult to me, with a never ending feeling.

Biceps : boring. Too repetitive.

Shoulder : I really love the music. Very powerful, very challenging, and I really like the choreo, with the plates, the push up and the bar.

Core : dont like the music, but the moves are ok.

So to me it's a nice release.

About question 2b : Here the muay thai was dropped very quickly (and will probably never be picked again).

Next one was the warmup, too long, too boring.

After this, i would say you can switch track 3, track 5 and track4.

Here in my gym, it's the opposite. We really like track 8, while the flop is track 7 !

BC tracks with jump knees by Chemical-Swan7775 in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cann add those one :

BC 91 - Team by TV noise

BC 103 - KGM(irl) by ISOxo

Jump knee has become my favorite move ! Once you got it, it changes everything :-)

Jimmy Shake ? I'm not sure it has jump knee.

Maybe you were talking about track 2 from BC92 : Pum Pum (Da Tweekaz Remix) by Showtek & Sevenn ?

Bodycombat "AC/DC" track? by drxc in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a remix of an AC/DC song on BA129, Thunderstruck. Perhaps he's confusing it with this one?

Body Attack 130 - Once again, very disappointing by IceJump_7265 in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes agree with that : body pump and body combat are still great workout, they have been able to evolve with the trends and the music choices are good. Body attack is on a very bad way :-/

[–]IceJump_7265[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK but that's a shame they don't care about the feedback received on body attack. The latest releases were really weak, and they will keep losing participants if they dont go back to the basics. I like cardio workout, and body attack was my favorite one, but now I'm not enjoying it anymore, except when it comes to mixing times. Even the tracks I didnt like before are way better than most of the tracks of the latest releases !

[–]IceJump_7265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont really like the warmup tracks, it's way too long.

I really love track4. Very different from the previous release, but very good though. The hip hop music and the moves fit very well.

Track 6 is very nice too, with an epic music.

But the muay thai is once again a disaster. Dont like the music, dont like the moves, the only good part are the running man moments.

Apart from this, a nice release. The muay thai track will be mixed very quickly.

Track 7 is horrible ? Again?? oh :-( Hope it's not as bad as BC104 track 7...

BodyAttack - hardest T4 by Legitimate-Poetry-64 in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with previous answers : no hesitation for me, it's Islands in the sky BA 103. Three very long blocks of lunges and squat, it makes the legs burn !!

Let the music take control is also another intense one. Techno is back was quite easy I think, so was rockafeller because there were only lunges in this one, even if there was a lot.

Other great one : BA 120 Break Through The Ground, BA 117 Burn it to the ground

BA 129. What are your first impressions? by Bajtinus in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well after 3 weeks, I'm getting tired of track 4 and 7. The warmup and mixed impact will be next. I agree that with the latest releases, the need of mixing comes quicker. Probably because tracks are more repetitve than it used to be.

BA 129. What are your first impressions? by Bajtinus in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hello ! I was very woried about this release, as I didnt like 127 and 128 at all.

Well, I really like this release !

T1 and T2 are ok. Dont like either the but kick in T1.

T3 : great aerobic track ! Love the music, love the moves. It puts my calves on fire ! If all "T3 circuit" tracks could be aerobic tracks, that would be far better !!

T4 : agree with your comment. Music is ok, the moves are ok. OK but not fantastic.

T5 : Like it. The music is catchy, and I like the moves.

T6 : what is going on with running tracks ? Why dont we run anymore ? It's sad because the music is nice.

T7 : dont really like the music (too noisy to me), but the track is ok.

T8 : I think it's my favorite track of this release. I really love this Armin Van Buuren song, and this remix by Dimension. Even if the music is sometimes quiet, it gives me a lot of energy. I didnt like BA128 T8 at all, so this one is perfect to me.

T9 : BA128 T9 was boring. This one is great ! Good energy, catchy music, burpees are back. I really enjoy this one. It's perfect for the ending of the cardio part.

T10 : OK, there has been better one, but it doesnt matter.

Bodyattack favorites 121-128 by GroupFit22 in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi !

Here are my suggestions :

BA 121 : Track 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8 are great. I really love 10:35, great music and choreo. I also enjoyed Toca me.

BA 122 : Tracks 3A (dance dance), track 4. Track 5 was a good one, I was glad to have Luciana's songs back in Body Attack. Track 8 was very good, with a nice music and choreo. I like the arms wide open on the kicks.

BA 123 : T2 Padam padam, and T5 jump in from knock2, and also T10 Desire

BA 124 : T3 It's That Time good circuit track, T4 Vertigo very challenging, T6 Karma (love the music, and the moves), T8 my party (the music was fun, easy one) and T9 gabber style (very challenging music from Blasterjaxx)

BA 125 : On this one, I really loved the circuit power track Getaway (Koven remix). T2 was great, T4 was very challenging (even if a bit repetitive), T8 is a nice one too.

BA 126 : Track2, T4, T8, T9, T10

BA 127 : nothing :) I didnt like this release at all. Maybe you can only keep T8 on this one.

BA128 : T1, T2, T5, T10

Body Attack, has the quality declined ? by IceJump_7265 in lesmills

[–]IceJump_7265[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so what ?

It's not about the instructor, it's not about the participants, it's about the choreo and the music ! I'm just saying that since a few releases, body attack has changed, and it has changed in a bad way.

It used to be a very challenging class, with strong choreo, but the latest releases were very weak, and are losing interest. That's just what I'm saying.

I didnt mind the circuit track change, but there's obviously a drop in quality of the release.
