BODYATTACK 64 is the hero release! It's all about finding the hero within - to be the very best you can be to improve your own fitness goals. It's bursting with innovations and great music to help you achieve your own superhero potential! Mike Stone's cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water has you singing along and having fun from the beginning. Track 2 is all about different directions and has a new combo - the gallop & u-step curl. Your mission in track 3 is to have a great time with more energy! There are plenty of options and the song Do You Wanna Funk? provides a little funky fun. It's time to reach your Superman potential in track 4 with the superhero hop curl in the knee hops. This is your first peak so use maximum effort and maximum power while pulling your best hero pose. There's a new move - side step & jump. There's a new move in track 5 too - the crab crawl. This is a great way to improve core stability and shoulder strength so that you can do BODYATTACK forever! Katy Perry's Hot n Cold provides the inspiration you need to get through those 24 pushups in a row to finish the track! Get ready to fire out of the starting block in track 6 before the room is split in track 7 for some bootcamp-inspired training. Each team has a different exercise at the same time - the rules are to work at your own pace and intensity. Track 8 is all about interval training before track 9 - the dramatic peak of the second cardio fitness block. Here you become a fitness hero to the motivating song I Need A Hero. The pain doesn't let up in track 10 but remember - it's got to hurt to work! You use strength to define your legs with the triangle, before shaping and defining your abdomen to Rihanna's Disturbia which is the super-villain in this release.

BODYATTACK 64 .... cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water

Looking forward to the release but switched off at this point with yet another duplicate track being listed (RPM).

Come on LM - Instructors are bored sick of the same songs - we play them around 100's of times a quarter and to hear them again a few months later is a joke. How do you think the paying participants feel?
There are hundreds of track suggestions given every week please use some variety!

...stepping off soap box

[Sofie]

Good old music royalties :?

But none the less, this does sound like an awesome release, I love that Katy Perry track, and I Need a Hero is a fabulous song! Gallop with a u step curl, getting all fancy in track 2 now eh hehe :-D

[BubsyG]

So..who else read this, dropped what they where doing, got up & tried to figure out the count on the gallop & u-step curl combo??? haha!

This sounds wonderful! Can't wait!

[Special]

I didn't get up, but I did try and see what worked in my head.
Gallop L (4 counts) U curl R then L (12 counts) is all I got that made sense. Which means it will be something else.

It could be more boring and be like 16 counts of gallop and 16 counts of U curl. Is that what we had last time we had the U curl? I can't remember which release it was.


I wonder if track 3 is the old Step warm up?

[gepl]

U step curl was in BA 59...

Easy.
Gallop 4 counts (each direction)
U step curl - depends on how it's done. As Gepl said, 59 had a U step, IIRC, one L step curl to left, one to right, one curl centre (hold) which would make 12 counts. You can play tunes on the where the hold goes.
So gallop left, U- step curl (R/L/C) and you're at 16. Repeat the same to the other side - 32 counts.

Yeah, isn't that what I just said. But you don't need the centre one to make 16 counts.

If you do the centre one it takes you to 16 counts. Which is why I assume they stuck it in there.

You're two points seem to contradict.
You need the centre one to make it a U step, instead of an L step left/right.
I think in your original post, you forgot the 4 steps to gallop back to the start to get your 16 which is where I was coming from

[Special]

They look like they contradict if you take them away from what I was replying too. The first one is 16 counts because it has a 4 count gallop, followed by 12 counts of curls. I would then do the lot in reverse to make another 16 counts.
I didn't forget the 4 counts to gallop back in my original post. That wouldn't make any sense or fit in well with what I originally said.


The second one I was replying to what you said about 59. You didn't mention any gallops, just the U step curl as it was in 59. You said it took 12 counts, and I said it takes 16.


I don't agree that you need a centre one to make a U step curl either. I think and L step the the L then R automatically makes it a U.
Of course I have no idea what will actually be in the new release. I was just bored for a moment and seeing how I could fit gallops and curls together.

The quoting was done automatically when I hit Quote - wasn't deliberately take out of context, nor did I interpret it that way.


Typo error in my 12 counts for a U step curl (possibly brough about by your quote of 12 in the OP, but nevermind), 16 is indeed correct but you need the centre ones otherwise I still maintain it's just an L step curl to each side and you'd be doing them for ages. (refer to BA 59 notes for format of U step).

And you will note the last line of my OP does mention the gallop.

Anyway, I think in the main we agree, 16 counts of gallop and 16 of curls..... or something else ;-) Something to look forward to - if I don't get bored listening to Bridge Over Troubled water for yet another 3 months zzzzzzzzzz :sleep:

[Special]

If they do 16 counts of each, I'd hardly call it a new combo. It's just 2 moves one after the other. Of course, they called other stuff like that "new" before.

I was just trying to think of less boring ways to put the moves together. I don't like the extra centre curl in the U step curl because participants don't seem to expect it, plus it's an extra anyway. I like things even. I am sure it makes me annoying to live with.

I don't care what the moves are (since they can't change all that much), as long as the song is decent. :biggrin:
We didn't get any hints for song 2, did we?

[TP]

I don't understand what you mean by "extra center curl". Here's how I interpret this:

cts
1-4 Gallop L
5 R leg steps over
6 L leg curls
7 L leg steps down
8 R leg curls
9 R leg steps back to center
10 L leg curls
11 L leg steps over
12 R leg curls
13 R leg steps down
14 L leg curls
15 L leg steps back to "center"
16 R leg curls

And there you continue with gallop to R, no extra center ones needed.

[Special]

Yep, that was what I couldn't be bothered typing TP. You did a very nice job of explaining it. =D^

Did you do Attack 59? They had the extra centre ones because there was no gallop and they were used to make it fit into the 16 counts.

[danielkvc]

I love the superhero hop in track 4! It looks so cool when you see lots of people doing it nice and syncronious!!! Love it

[Placebo]

We have our quarterly on Feb 7th. We kick off with Attack at 8am :shock: Better make sure I've had my coffee

I have done 59 once and it was the first BA class of my life So I have absolutely no memories from there I have bought the release though, haven't looked that track yet.

[Placebo]

Don't stress about the U-step. It's gallop, U-step, gallop, U step. It's set up really well. Moves are 'layered' in.

Upper body conditioning was pretty cool.

Agility track though felt like a bit of a mess with two lots of different chorey each side. Roomful of instructors had a little difficulty with it, so it could see participants stopping because they don't know what they're supposed to be doing, or doing the same thing as the opposing side.

Great song for the power track at the end too.

Lunge track is a real 'worker'. Legs felt a little like jelly at the end of it. Abs - body 'set-up' for leg extensions is borrowed from Balance. Crunch curl back from BA63.

I wasn't overly enamoured with the release, but I always save my judgement for when I've learned and taught it. As you know, you may dislike stuff when you first hear or see it, but after a while you really start to love it. Plus, sometimes I'm not really 'hearing' the music at the workshops, I'm concentrating too much.

[Special]

Ooh, I didn't realise Aussie workshops had started. I am so glad they weren't here today though - it was our hottest day ever! Seriously.

I look forward to more gossip as you learn it Placebo.
