Hi Intensity Training, 55 minutes of Body Attack

BODYATTACK™ is designed around a 55-minute two-peak format with 11 music tracks and exercises to challenge cardio fitness and stamina.

1. Warmup
The focus is on big, simple aerobic moves to get your body warm.

2. Mixed Impact
An increasing range of moves and footstrikes in this track ensure that you are ready for the aerobic action ahead.

3. Aerobic
Step up the intensity and range of movement and get into your personal training ‘zone’ ahead of the peak track to follow.

4. Plyometric
This is where the class hits its first intensity peak, putting your body under load through quick-fire plyometric exercises often used in sports training.

5. Upper Body Conditioning
Time to slow it down, recover and build strength. The focus here is on shoulders, chest, triceps and core conditioning work for toning and shaping the upper body.

6. Running
Loosen up again with some free and patterned running and get those legs ready to fire again.

7. Agility
Test your speed and agility with a big mix of moves and have fun with some class interaction.

8. Interval
Challenge your cardio systems with a series of work-recovery blocks.

9. Power
Time to dig deep and push yourself through powerful moves for maximum effort.

10. Lower Body Conditioning
Let the heart rate settle while conditioning the lower body for great shape, condition and tone.

11. Cooldown

Weighing in at 192 today.

Did some light cardio today, feeling the lactic acid from yesterday's workout. Feels good!

Just spent the last few hours scouring the teamfranco.activeboard checking out the entries. I feel SO FAR AWAY from where other clients are. To be expected I assume...

Challenged with food today. I ran out of fat grams but still have a LONG way to go with the carbs and protein today. Work in progress.
