Any sign of the Body attack 66 discussion thread yet? Am I mistaken or is it usually on here by now?

[gepl]

It should be, but no one posted the sizzler yet...

You’ll be charged from start to finish with BODYATTACK® 66 – it’s a fusion of magic, movements and music to take you toward two high-energy peaks. Just Dance is a great Warm Up track with a huge amount of energy and lift off! You’ll have loads of fun with the Fly on the Wall theme of Track 3 where intensity is lifted in the Superman’s and maintained with the Shuffle Combinations. The new Side Step and Squat Combo in Track 4 will help peak your heart rate before you’re challenged with 100 push-ups in Track 5. Don’t worry though – there are plenty of options to help you through! The Running Track, Track 6, is all about technique, energy and as the song When You Leave suggests, some “Ha ha!” In Track 7 you have a chance to relax and have some fun in the rhythm combo. Look forward to the sports training which builds power and strength, especially in the Step Runs and Ice Skaters. Track 8 is five minutes of energy, adrenalin and passion to really build your fitness. I Kissed A Girl motivates you to reach your maximum peak before the rocking and appropriately named Take It To The Limit really pushes you to your second peak. Reset, breathe and condition your legs in Track 10 with the Repeaters and Lunges before spinning your legs right round with the Scoop in the core conditioning track.

Sounds like "Right Round" might be in a few programs this quarter.

Yes Its track 10

Am I allowed to post the others yet as I have the full list?

[Mel]

[Mel]

Tracklist is now available online

Sweet - Bonus interval track. I hope it's decent, although in the past bonus tracks that are just there to stop people sooking haven't been that great.

Still, track 8 is a nice one to get 2 of.

I was skeptical about I Kissed a Girl as the interval track (even though I havent done the release yet, quarterlies arent till late August lol) but nice to know there is another option! Who knows, I'll probably like the former more anyway /

All I know is getting to do this release with Bevan is going to rock! /

[macejunas]

I was speaking to one of the Attack trainers earlier during the week who told me the rationale for the extra Interval Track in BA66 was that "I Kissed A Girl" as a song may be considered offensive to the cultural norms for certain countries. Actually was thinking of track 2 in BA50 after typing this!

Interesting to see that because the Les Mills brand is global they will actually go to the trouble of including an additional option track...

Looking forward to teaching the new one - from what I've seen it should go off with both instructors and attack participants! /

Sorry, hating the agility track, it seems to be all over the place and my knees actually hurt doing it. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, any ideas? Good song, but I don't think the moves do it justice.

Also disliking the Power track (but I always dislike those, far too much energy involved )

The rest appears okay, am LOVING the push-up track.

[Sofie]

well, it's the day after the Adelaide workshop.

Couple of thoughts.

Having Bevan to take the class was just amazing, he really is just as inspiring and a fantastic coach/motivator, not that I ever doubed that, but seeing it in reality was a blast. Very nice guy too, took heaps of time to chat to everyone, get to know people and hang out. Credit to him :-D

As for the class, its a mixed bag for me. Partly because the floor was horrendous, and my calves and feet screamed so bad that I had to the power track low impact.

A few stand out tracks for me, really like the remix of the warm up track. Moves and a few interesting combos across the board. Nothing jumped out at me, but I was probably more thinking about my sore feet than anything to get the full experience unfortunately.

Agility, hmm interesting, seemed a bit all over the place, couldn't get into that at all.

Not a bad release though overall :-D

[lhmatth]

I just had a look at the track list (they don't start autoshipping here in the US until Friday), and I am excited to get this release! The music looks great to me, and I have heard from a national trainer at my gym that it's one of the most difficult releases yet. Would you all agree?

[Nick in NZ]

Yeah - not a bad track list for BA66, my wife is very happy with Lady Gaga, Britney Spears....

Launched BA66 today. A few thoughts (from us - the launch instructors and the participants involved). Participants liked the warm-up and mixed impact. Aerobic track had mixed reviews with the end bit, some thought it was different, others felt the moves seemed "tacked on" to the end to use up the music. The plyo track went down well with all participants choosing the level they needed to work at, but still pushing themselves. I was truely proud of them as they did every single push-up in the conditioning track at varying levels, but no-one gave up :great:

Second peak, the running track went okay. The agility track, hmmm, what can I say. Participants feedback at the end of the class was that their hips were extremely sore and they felt it start in the agility track. I don't know whether it was all the "ice-skaters" (that's when I felt my hips screaming at me) or just the "all-over-the-place" moves. Some of them actually stopped during it and were rubbing their hips :-k Maybe that will be the first track we mix out.

Interval training pushed them. Power track didn't go too badly considering it's such a quick cue call. Although, participants did say they thought the high-knee runs went on and on and they felt it was too long (heck, so did we! )

Lower body conditioning actually really pushed everybody, and I certainly felt it in my butt and quads - very effective. Abs, honestly, how many times can you put a song into releases for that quarter?! I love the song, but I've got it in Combat, Pump AND Attack!

Cool-down, it's got to be an all-time favourite for me - funky, light, relaxing - reminds you of sitting on the beach with your toes in the water on a summers day. Everyone was doing a dance at the end.

It's really only the first launch for this release so it will be interesting to hear comments from other gyms. My concern is the hip soreness that the participants, the other instructor and I felt in the agility track (and we were on a fully-sprung, carpeted aerobics floor). Mine felt like joint pain rather than muscle pain - darn! Actually, it's been so sore this afternoon that I couldn't learn my Balance tracks for Wednesday (standing strength, hip openers). I'm hoping that after a nights rest I can teach my Pump class tomorrow :shock:

How did the rest of you go?

Sofie - I know you've only just had your workshop, but I would love to know how you go with the agility track and whether your hips scream at you as well.

[DJ Jockey]

So we had our "official" launch this week. Given it's so late, I'd done some of the tracks the last couple of weeks because everyone's been hanging out for new stuff. I was lucky enough to have a trainer launch with me, which made the class go off (made me nervous as hell though).

Tracks 1,2,5,8 and 9 are fantastic. I still can't get the timing in track 4. It just doesn't quite seem right to me. And 4 and 9 seem to melt together in my brain. Favourite track - PUSHUPS!!! I love the song, not to mention the look on everyone's face when you say "AGAIN"....

Agility was a bit different, but I haven't heard of any hip pain issues.

[Mel]

I got to do a few tracks of these release when we launched the other night. I haven't been able to do a full class for a long time due to my hip problems, and after those few tracks I can say I won't be able to do a class for a while yet.

When we launched, we did a few tracks from each program, so I got to "try" bodyattack. The tracks we did I absolutely loved and made me feel a bit nostalgic and I miss attack so much. I only remember doing the warmup track, plyo lunges, running track and I think the interval or peak track.

Definately very very good what I saw..........unfortunately my hips were screaming at me by the third track

You should feel lucky you skipped the agility track. This one is definitely a hip burner.

[AnitaPita]

I'm surprised more people don't like the aerobic track..Fly on the Wall. I think this might be one of my favorite tracks of all time! I think it's fun to cue and I love the whole "Body Attack world tour"! And I loved Bevan's presentation on the video. :-D

[Cole P]

Just wondering if Rise Again has exactly the same choreo as I Kissed a Girl?
