BODYCOMBAT™ 62

From L-R: Dan Cohen, Rachael Newsham, Andres Vesga

BODYCOMBATTM 62 is exactly what you need in a workout... It’s achievable, it reeks of challenge and your body will crave it after the first taste! The Warmups Warmups are busting with energy and this will make you feel fantastic – like you can take on the hardest of workouts. The first Combat track is a great mix of straightup Kick-boxing, Karate power and speed KATA – making you feel more powerful and successful. This round, the first Power track is short but, pardon the pun, packs a punch! We felt it in our shoulders STRAIGHT  AWAY  AW AY and and that brought a smile smile to our faces faces :-) Thank goodness it’s shorter than usual, ha ha! Combat 2 is beautiful and evil at the same time – floating soft KATAs that teach us how to relax and respond when necessary. Mix these with a 56-kick Kick KATA, and it’s ‘red face time’, to burn those hip flexors, hamstrings and quads!

Power 2 is pure fun – disguising a wicked little Boxing body movement drill where you can work on Shoulder Rolls and rotation. Combat 3 – there’s Capoeira in all its forms here. You will get halfway and hate the instructor – then the next day, when your legs look slim and sharp, you will be back begging for more, for sure! Muay Thai – another shot of H.I.T. here – the SBDP is back and some good old-fashioned Elbows. Power 3 – a typical burnout, to a song that just lifts you up to enable you to reach the end and still feel awesome. The Conditioning track is built around developing your obliques so you can better manage the rotation of the Boxing moves. This goes hand in hand with Power 2 :-) Cooldown – this is a gem, a beautiful ballad. This song touched our hearts this round and meant so much more to us because we lost a warrior during filming week. We’ve We’ve dedicated this track to our fallen warriors Joe Houpapa and Hernan Lopez. RIP boys xx

EXERCISE AND AND   PREGNANCY

Pregnancy and exercise is a hotly debated topic, and it’s really important that we know what to advise our pregnant members. This Education session will explore the benefits of exercise for expectant mothers, and explain how they can stay safe while being active. Remind your participants to seek advice from their obstetric caregiver. The advice of their doctor should always be the first consideration when undertaking exercise while pregnant.

Recent guidelines1 encourage participating in regular exercise before, during and after pregnancy for both active and sedentary sedentar y women. They emphasize that pregnancy – and theseen associated physiological changes – are no longer as limitations; this is not the time to be confined to the couch! Even those who have been previously inactive are encouraged to take up some form f orm of exercise, and make some healthy lifestyle changes.

So why, for those few months of your life when all you want to do is sleep and eat donuts, do we have to eat really well and exercise?

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE

• Maintaining a good level of fitness will set you up for an easier, shorter shorter labor with bett better er recovery and fewer chances of complications.3 • Training your abs during pregnancy will lessen the degree of abdominal wall separation too – a condition which can cause lower back and a nd 2 pelvic pain. • Exercise helps normalize the birth weight of your baby. This is important as heavy babies babie s are more likely to develop illnesses such as obesity, metabolic disease and cardiovascular disease later in life.4 • Staying physically active helps you avoid getting Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) – a type of diabetes that can occur during pregnancy. This This condition puts you at greater risk of complications, and makes you more prone to developing type 2 diabetes in the future. Women Women with GDM are also more likely to deliver large babies, who may subsequently suffer from childhood obesity and metabolic disorders.4 • Problems with high blood pressure – known as hypertensive disorders – can cause issues like pre-term delivery and is the leading cause of maternal mortality also. Studies have shown that being active during pregnancy can help to prevent these complications as well.4

Other benefits include having babies that are alert, calm, self-quieting and better able to cope with the stresses of labor. labor.3 On the other hand, neglecting exercise and gaining too much weight during pregnancy can place extra stress on the joints and contribute to an increase of lower back pain.3

 

SO, WHAT’S OUR ADVICE? AD VICE? The following programs are not recommended during pregnancy: BODYCOMBAT™ We don’t recommend BODYCOMBAT™ because of the joint instability. The release of hormones such as oestrogen and relaxin can result in joints being less stable – so the kicks in BODYCOMBAT™ BODYCOMBAT™ may aggravate the hips and pelvis. LES MILLS GRIT™ LES MILLS GRIT™ is a high-intensity workout for people who are wanting to really take their fitness to the next level. Pregnancy is not the time to be pushing the body to its limits.

SO WHAT CAN YOU TELL YOUR PREGNANT MEMBERS? • Exerc Exercise ise is really really important important for a healthy mother mother and baby • Do whatev whatever er you have been been doing, doing, reducing reducing intensity when you, and your doctor, doctor, think you should • Dri Drink nk pl plenty enty of of water water • Wear ccomfortab omfortable, le, cool cool clothing clothing • Don Don’t ’t lie on on your back  back  • Remem Remember ber to consult consult your caregiver caregiver about your your plans for exercise

The rest of our programs should be OK to continue with, but with the following modifications: CXWORX™ Working the core in CXWORX™ should be safe in the first and second trimester and has been shown to minimize disruption of the abdominal wall during 1

pregnancy.  You  You can offer the option for them to work the abs in four-point kneeling, supporting themselves on their elbows (ensuring they keep their chest lifted) or rolling over to do Hover or Plank work when it’s no longer comfortable for them to lie flat on their back. BODYATTACK™ and BODYSTEP™ If they have regularly attended these classes prior to their pregnancy, then these programs should be safe to continue. A few suggested modifications include: • Taking low-impact options in BODY BODYA ATTACK™. TTACK™. • In BODYST BODYSTEP™, EP™, decreas decreasee the number of risers and take low-impact options. Make sure they have ha ve a stable base of support by ensuring that the foot is always planted firmly on the step every time and by keeping a slightly wider base of support. BODYPUMP™ Participants should set their bench to an incline. RPM™ Participants should modify their intensity by taking regular breaks, reducing resistance and avoiding standing positions on the bike when they feel it is necessary. BODYVIVE™ AND BODYBALANCE™/BODYFLOW® Both programs can be started for the first time during pregnancy,, and are ideal for making healthy lifestyle pregnancy changes. Check out the DVD for some great demonstrations of the above options.

SMARTSTART Hey Instructors, wanna pack your classes? There’s a big group of people out there who need our help - and you’ll often find them in the back row trying not to be noticed. By using some simple, proven tools to take care of this group you can get them hooked into fitness and, at the same time, grow your class numbers. Statistics tell us that 50% of people who join gyms will drop out within the first 6 months.1 We need to look after the back row, because it is this group that we are a re most at risk of losing. Over the next 12 months we’ll be giving you tips and tricks to make sure you have the tools to look aft after er the new people in your classes. We’ve also developed a bunch of resources for participants to help them on their journey to fitness. We’ve called this body of work “SmartStart”, and it’ll always be labeled like this:

Les Mills has conducted in-depth research into beginners’ adherence to exercise, and we now know that the key to great results is starting slowly. As instructors, this means giving new people the option opt ion to leave aft after er the first few tracks (and slowly building track by b y track), as well as taking an interest in their training schedules; the optimal mix is cardio, strength, core training tra ining and flexibility. Getting started doesn’t mean running a marathon on day one. Or even month one! Encouraging people to ease their way into exercise means they are more likely to stick with it for the long haul. Read the first of our education series on the following page to gain great insights into just what these new people are going through.

 

STAGES OF CHANGE There are 6 stages of change that people experience when they move from sedentary behavior to taking up exercise.

THE STAGES OF Not CHANGE 1. PRECONTEMPLATION Not PRECONTEMPLATION currently active and don’t intend to become active in the immediate future: I WON’T and I CAN’T stage. 2. CONTEMPLATION CONTEMPLATION Not  Not currently active, but intending to become active at some point in the next 6 months: I MIGHT stage. 3. PREPARATION PREPARATION Not  Not regularly active but preparing to begin exercise within the next 30 days: I WILL stage. 4.  ACTION  ACTION Currently  Currently participating in exercise, but at risk of returning to their previous inactive state: I AM stage.

5. exercise MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Active  Activea for at least has become stable part 6ofmonths, their life; I HAVE stage. 6. TERMINATION  or RELAPSE  Either a permanent TERMINATION or RELAPSE Either change has been made or people will regress to an earlier stage – at which point they will either give up or have to start again. The challenge for you as an instructor is to guide people through these stages – making the job easier for them and understanding how vulnerable they are of returning to their previous inactive lifestyle.

THE KEY FACTOR – SELF-EFFICACY

The key factor in how likely someone is to progress through these stages of change is their level of self-efficacy.

SELF-EFFICACY = CONFIDENCE Self-efficacy is the confidence someone has in overcoming obstacles and resisting temptation (to return to their previous behavior) in order to reach their goals. Studies have shown a consistently positive relationship between self-efficacy and progress through the stages of change 2; the higher their level of confidence, the greater the likelihood that individuals will achieve their goals. So, the secret to looking after the back row in your classes is to keep their confidence HIGH... how do we do this?

1. THEY CONTROL THEIR WORKOUT  Allow your members to manage both the duration and intensity of their training. Trying Trying anything new can be intimidating and – as you now know – the key to success is to start slowly and feeling like you’re in control.

2. FREQUENCY BEFORE INTENSITY It’s more important to just get people into the habit of eexercising, xercising, before you start yelling at them the m to work harder. Remember to offer people options so they can tailor the workout to their ability, and ensure you present these modifications in a positive way – allowing them to feel good about what they can do, rather than making them feel like they can’t keep up.

3. CELEBRATE CEL EBRATE THE IMMEDIATE IMM EDIATE WINS Focus on the gains that tha t occur as soon as people pe ople become active: increased energy levels, feeling more positive, or the endorphin high you get ge t straight after a workout. These things happen straight away, and are much better to to focus on than long-term aesthetic goals like getting a smaller butt! Combining these 3 tools will reduce anxiety around exercise – increasing people’s confidence and helping them reach the stage whereby physical activity is a permanent feature in their lives. : Instil confidence, give people control, and celebrate every small step of their journey to fitness. REMEMBER Because if we stand for a fitter planet, this means everyone – not just the front row. REFERENCES: 1. Armitage, C. J. (2005).

HI STORY  THE HIST ORY OF MUAY THAI

Boxing is a combat sport where two participants, generally of similar weight, fight each other with only their fists. Boxing is supervised by a referee and is typically performed inside a ring with rounds lasting 1 to 3 minutes. There are three ways to win:

Muay Thai is referred to as ‘The Art of Eight Limbs’, as the hands, shins, elbows and knees are all used extensively in this art. A practitioner of Muay Thai (nak muay) thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight ‘points of contact’, as opposed to ‘two points’ (fists) in Western Boxing and ‘four points’ (fists, feet).

1. Victory Vi ctory is achieved if the opponent is knocked down and unable to get up before the referee counts to 10 seconds; this is called a knockout or KO. 2. If the opponent is deemed too injured to continue, this is called a technical knockout or TKO. 3. If there is no stoppage of the fight before an agreed number of rounds, a winner is determined either by the referee’s decision or by judges’ scorecards.

Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand.

There are four basic ba sic punches in Boxing: Jab, Straight Right/Cross, Hook and Uppercut.

HI STORY  THE HIST ORY OF KARATE Karate is a Martial Art that is centuries old and essentially Japanese. The translation of kara is open and the translation of te is hand.

Tai Chi can be b e practised for a variety of other personal reasons − its hard and soft Martial  Art techniques can help self-defense, focus focus and breathing. Consequently Consequently, , a multitude of training forms exist, both traditional and modern.

HISTORY ORY OF  JIU-JITSU  THE HIST Jiu-Jitsu originated 2,500 years ago in India. It was developed by monks as a method of selfdefense against thieves on long journeys. In 1919, Jiu-Jitsu was introduced to Brazilian Hélio Gracie, who developed the Japanese art into what is known today as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) focuses on grappling and ground fighting.

Shorter than usual yet very challenging, this Power Training 1 track pulls no punches and neither will you. Coach your participants to shift their intensity quickly and not to hold back! They will activate fast-twitch muscle fibers – increasing the power in their punch, their cardio response and muscular activation – creating fitness results and calorie-burn faster!

COACHING

CONNECTION

The key focus in this track is intensity progression. The track is shorter than our recent Power Training Training 1 tracks but is just as challenging if you coach and demonstrate great shifts in intensity.

Set the expectation exp ectation of a shorter, shorter, harder Power Training Training track from the start so your class knows they need to give more. We want them to connect to the workout and the shifts in intensity so use your voice and your body to emphasize when to go up a level. Watch the DVD to see how Dan creates this journey throughout the track to great training effect.

Use Layer 2 Enhancement Cues to help coach the participants to feel their core work as they throw the punches. For example, Jab x2, Cross: • Stay agile and relaxed through your shoulders • Throw the punch, and snap at the end e nd • Speed and power! Maintain length in the Jab under speed, then hammer the Cross • Add more power – drop into the legs as you throw the Cross • Explode into each punch

 TECHNIQUE Speed Training Training – Relax, Contract, Contract , Relax, Snap Relaxed muscles are able to fire faster and produce a higher level of muscular activation. By staying relaxed through the shoulders as you punch you’re able to fire faster and snap the punch at the end of the strike. The result is muscle muscl e activation – in contrast if you “muscle” the punch you reduce these spikes of activity and lose speed.

COACHING Speed Training We’ve coached great Boxing cues beforehand in Track Track 3 so now we want to ensure that our participants are educated in something new for this track – speed. Coach them to stay relaxed and agile while they punch, especially in the Triple Triple Jab Jack Combo. Some Layer 2 Enhancement Cues you could use are: • Stay relaxed and snap the punch! • Explode through the legs as you punch • Tense Tense at the end of the punch • Snap your fist back to Guard position as fast as you can

 Y.A.L.A.  Y .A.L.A.  > 3:59 mins If you don’t know how to lunge – you definitely will after this track! Time to feed the muscles with contrast training – balance then power and speed. Different phases of training to deliver a cross-training effect.

 TECHNIQUE Capoeira Super Slow Front Kick – Rear Leg • Lift rear knee and extend into Front Kick  • Lean back as you kick, brace abs • Retract kick slowly and drop back into a deep Lunge

COACHING Posture and Range Because it is Capoeira, you’ll be establishing the rhythm before the intensity kicks in, so use this time to gradually build ROM. When the combo is put together check the safety cues first: • Chest lifted, abs braced • Weight in heel and ball of foot of right leg • Hips square to front • Knee in line with middle of foot Then we want to get our participants to feed their muscles with load by staying low in the movements and bring added control in the strikes. Coach them to extend and lengthen in the slow phases and then drive and explode in the power phase. The key to intense loading – stay low in the Lunges. Here’s how the 3 elements of Capoeira are Here’s used in this Combat 3 track: Fight aspect – explosive movement Dance aspect – rhythm and lyrics Game aspect – compete against each other to see who can get back into a Lunge position first

CONNECTION & FITNESS MAGIC Music The song is perfectly matched to the dance element of Capoeira. So, allow moments in the track where you can add silence to let the music speak. Fitness Magic Use your face and body to show the intensity levels. Don’t be afraid to shake out the legs and let your people know how you feel! They can connect with you as you share the workout experience and see that you’re pushing through the track just as much as they are.
