• On the masterclass and us instructors got participants to run in a circle after track 8 high fiving as we went round.  This unfortunately “officially” stopped after BodyCombat 62.
• The “Matrix kick” has only seen the light once in BodyCombat 56
• The “lightening kick” has only seen the light once in BodyCombat 57
• The “Advancing side kick” has only seen the light once in BodyCombat 50?

All that work

• If you still wear gloves in class or your trainers have a smell to them did you know you can buy cool fresheners?
• Going by Les Mills fitness research people can burn up to 740 calories during a 55 minute workout… Time to buy a fitbit and smash that?  What you put in you get out : BodyCombat 54 Calories burned in an hours class.
• Did you know you can help not only Dan and Rach but all program directors by suggesting a song you want to work out to : https://www.lesmills.com/suggest-a-song/
