Body Combat | Fitness for Warriors.

I've always been pushed into practicing every kind of sport there is.

From ballet, through basketball, passing by swimming, a bit of gymnastics, and even a couple of months in cycling, I've done many things. And that's just only in approximately 10 years.

I've been jumping from sport to sport because of my tendency of getting injured. Broken bones, sprained ankles, bruises...you name it. 

However, for the last 7 years (2 of them as a student, 5 as an instructor), I've been deep into the Group Fitness universe. From pilates, to spinning. But the ones that I like the most, developing a huge difference in my health, has to be the Les Mills Workout Systems.

My favorite, by far, has to be BODYCOMBAT. It's an intense 1-hour workout which is inspired by movements of various martial arts; including Muay Thai, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Box, Capoeira, Full Contact, Tai Chi, among others.

It's a high intensity cardio workout, with a choice of choosing lower impact movements, so everyone can practice it. You can determine the level of intensity for the workout. It's really popular, because it gives you that sense of power and confidence in yourself, while you work on your flexibility, strength and resistance, since the movements encourage you to do involve all the muscular groups. The instructor's labour is to inspire you through the class, while correcting your technique.

The class consists of 10 music tracks, especifically designed for the purpose and objective of that particular part of the class. The music is awesome, and it helps inspiring you to reach the end of the workout.

There are many gyms worldwide where you can practice this class, so be sure to try it at least once, and get addicted to it. (3 times a week is the recommended amount)
