This time of year people like to make excuses for eating a lot! I say, it’s the perfect time to try something new!
For Act-Fit Friday, I’m giving you some reasons why I LOVE Les Mills BODYCOMBAT! Hopefully, you will consider giving it a try or another form of MMA workouts, kickboxing, or home dvds in this area.
“BODYCOMBAT™ is the empowering group fitness cardio workout where you are totally unleashed. This fiercely energetic program is inspired by mixed martial arts and draws from a wide array of disciplines such as karate, boxing, taekwondo, tai chi and muay thai.”
When I started this post, I looked at the website and their list of benefits were pretty much what I was trying to communicate so I’m sharing that information with you verbatim.
Benefits (Straight from the website)
- Gets you fighting fit and looking ripped
- Improves heart and lung function and reduces the risk of heart disease
- Tones and shapes key muscle groups
- Maximizes calorie burn during and after your workout
- Develops co-ordination and agility of a mized martial arts warrior
- Teaches you the moves of an elite martial arts expert
- Improves bone density
- Improves posture, core strength and stability
- Builds self-confidence, strength and power
- Keep pushing your limits with quarterly new releases
All of these are why I love BODYCOMBAT. In addition
- It’s extremely euphoric
- You are in the hands of 2 awesome program directors
- You get to scream out KIAHs and release any tension from the day (even the kids have a little tension 😉 )
- You get to fight with no consequences
- You burn over 700 calories in 55 minutes
Yours in Healthy, Active, & Prosperous Lifestyles,

I’m joining the fitness center at my job! The group classes are closed during the semester break, but they offer various group fitness classes each semester. I’ll definitely check to see if they’ll be offering bodycombat or something similar in January. These benefits sound exactly like what I need for my body!

Oh that will be fun! Enjoy Sherelle!
You know how bad I want to try this right? I am going to have to get some equipment and get the dvds! (hello santa!) I am actually terrible about working out at home but I feel like this would be a good one!! I am going extra hard in the gym, and counting every calorie to keep those pounds away (where they belong! 🙂

You are doing a fabulous job at it. Keep up the good work. I’m seriously debating Savannah this year. Maybe we can BODYCOMBAT then. It just happens to fall the same exact weekend as our Delta Regional Conference 🙁 Decisions….
My best workout this week was pump! Yay! Bodycombat is fun. MMA workouts are great for releasing tension!

Got that right!
700 calories! Oooh what do you get to eat after that?!
I’m get back to you next year on the answers to your questions. I am totally off the chain or whatever the new sayin’ is.

I can’t with you Kenya!
I am like 700 calories……hmmm this is tempting ….almost but I am going to make excuses and I have no plans on how I will keep the extra weight off for the holidays. I weighed myself today and I have not gained nor lost a lb so I think I am safe for the holidays….I think.
No excuses, I’ll provide you options 🙂
You already know I love Les Mills Combat – one of my favorites ever!!!

Yes I’m well aware! I’m glad to have someone in the blogging community who can co-sign!
I have gone to a few kickboxing classes and have enjoyed them. I don’t think that they were pushed to the point you do at Bodycombat. But that’s just a guess.
I love how much you love your workout!

Thanks Carli! I would love to take some kickboxing classes from others if there was time. The only thing I really compare it to is all my Tabeo DVDs.
I wish I could work out with you!! My favorite workout this week was a snowy hike in the woods. Not great for upper body, until you factor in that I was holding Des! And he’s no lightweight. I don’t gain weight easily yet in life, so the holidays are not usually a problem. I’m sure my metabolism will catch up with me someday…
I’d love to be more toned, though. And good health is very important to me.

Be grateful for that metabolism Tamara! You look fabulous!
You wouldn’t even have to tell me WHY I should try Les Mills – Your body is the best MOTIVATOR ever!!!! #rocksolidsexy!

I will be doing portion control for this holiday season. My parents just gave us their treadmill and rowing machine so that is going to be a huge help as well.

Oh that is an awesome gift.
That photo of you looks great, Joi! This does sound like the perfect exercise to introduce to someone at home! You’re right! Many make a lot of excuses to eat more this time of year, including me! 🙂

You are so health conscious, I’m sure you aren’t doing too much of anything out of the way girl!
Wow you look awesome working that plank. Body combat sounds awesome. 700 calories? Amazing. I dragged my elliptical into the living room to try and sneak in more cardio this season. And I tried a more advanced yoga class that kicked my butt.

Great place to have it. You can watch your favorite shows while working out!
WOW! Hmm… I’ll take “I will ease back into to my exercise routine slowly & not kill myself” for $100 Alex. LOL! Loving the benefits, but for now I think I’ll stick with my toning & sculpting video by Denise Austin. I’m still having a hard time trying to get through The Firm workout. :O

I love Denise Austin and the Firm workout series! I have several Firm DVDs! Those are good workouts Sonya, good for you!
