Body Attack 75

[Desmond Hutchins]

ForPump, Combat, CX and Sh'Bam, I use the 'Cardio' workout, and then later rename it to the relevant Les Mills workout. This works for me, as it gives me all the useful metrics including HR, calories and time. It also gives some useless metrics such as elevation (but I choose to ignore this, it doesn't bother me to have this information in there).

I think the question is how do you measure the essence of a body pump session? As a "cardio activity", it's an hour in HRZ 1/2/3, mildly aerobic and zero anaerobic, yet my limbs are dropping off with lactic burn!!! I don't think there is a good activity measure for this. The answers here let us record the activity like a diary event, but they don't help us measure the true activity.

You're so right! I'm new to Garmin and enjoying it but so disappointed about this. I do loads of Les mills and CrossFit-type classes and Garmin just can't handle them at all..! Really disappointing. I should have done better research, I thought they were better at this stuff but this is basic..

I teach the classes and get a little annoyed I can't track them properly. HR doesn't really help. In the case of pump, it's lifting to a big degree, but extremely different than a normal lifting session and should be accounted for properly within Connect so the overall training metrics would be more correct. Especially when being combined with the typical running, biking and swimming. I'm sure the body battery, training effect and so on isn't correct after recording the class as cardio.

I'll also hold small pump weights or use my own weighted gloves during combat (don't knock it till you try it) for a little endurance in the back and shoulders. And I'm pretty sure that doesn't get accounted for properly under cardio.

I like everything else about my Fenix, well mostly, but still wonder about trying a watch that incorporates LM into their activities. Honestly, it wouldn't be hard for them to add in the activities. Having gone to LM Live the other week, 7hrs of classes really didn't have the effect in Connect it should if it could have been recorded properly. And thus it drags down your overall metrics because it doesn't show the work you put in.

I tried to play the full body attack animation when the character attacks while stopped, and the upper body attack animation when the character attacks while on the move.

However, I found out that my attempt was wrong when I started moving immediately after playing the attack animation while the character was stopped.

A deceptively hard track! Similar to track 4 it has 4 short and intense rounds. The 12 fast triceps are a kicker! I like the leg raises as they really get into the butt and we do enough squats and lunges in the rest of body attack!

I like the ladder run combination with the 360 turn but think this track could have stepped it up a bit difficulty wise, especially compared to the last few agility tracks, such as something to make the step-knees more intense. But great song to singalong to!

Ana-Maria Orbai, M.D., M.H.S., is a rheumatologist at the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center. Rheumatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal diseases and autoimmune conditions (rheumatic disease). Orbai explains several theories researchers have about what might cause autoimmune disease, including infection, tissue damage and genetics.

When the body senses danger from a virus or infection, the immune system kicks into gear and attacks it. This is called an immune response. Sometimes, healthy cells and tissues are caught up in this response, resulting in autoimmune disease.

I did combat and pump twice weekly until I found out I was pg. Tbh I was so tired I didn't feel I had the energy to do it! I know you can do pump when pg as one instructor I had was pg leading the class.

I'm still doing all 3 at nearly 35 weeks! Have cut down to 2 pump classes, an attack class and a combat class compared to what I did before I got pregnant, and I stick to low impact options, incline my step for chest and triceps work and do back work instead of sit-ups. I've been doing the classes for years and intend to keep going as long as I can. The only thing I've had to give up is spinning as I've been suffering from coccyx pain since about 7 weeks and the seat just aggravates it.

Thanks cariad. I am only 6 weeks along & I did Attack the other night. I quietly asked the instructor if there was anything i need to consider & he just looked at me like I was an alien. Very unhelpful.

How did you handle exercise in the 1st trimester. I am absolutely exhausted and very nausous at times & my DH keeps saying not to push myself. Wondering how you found that balance between wanting to keep healthy and fit & keeping relaxed and rested for the baby.

I did body pump up until about 22 weeks, I only gave it up because another lady in the class told me in front of everyone that I shouldn't be doing it and argued with the instructor when the instructor pointed out that she was qualified and had been giving me alternative exercises every time we did something that might be unsuitable. It just upset me too much to continue, although physically it was fine.

Yes did all, stopped combat ant attack around 8 months pregnant but was doing (teaching) pump pretty much til due date.

Was also tired in 1st trimester, but I actually found that I was more exhausted on the days I didn't work out.

There are special pregnancy options in pump, as the instructor, and in attack and combat, just take the low options if it's too hard otherwise.

I used to do classes at least 5 times a week and continued to do so till I had some hip pain at around 5 and a half months. At that point I had a week off completely and now at 7 and a half months i do body attack twice a week, a swim midweek (most of the time!), and the first half hour of super Saturday. I try to fit a couple of long walks in too but it doesn't always happen. I don't do the body attack abs track and I do all the low impact options. I'm nowhere near super fit but I'm gonna keep going as long as I can.

kmini I did take it easy first trimester as I tended to feel a bit nauseous and bloated in the evenings, which is when most of the classes were on. But once I hit second trimester I felt fine. The most important thing to remember is not to overheat and let your heart rate get too high - you could wear a monitor to keep track of it, although I don't bother.

treacle that is so out of order. I have noticed a couple of people giving me funny looks in class but if anyone says anything to me they are going to be told politely to mind their own business! The nerve of some people.

I would not worry about the heart rate too much - of course, you should take it easier in pregnancy, but the guy who first came out with the "no higher than 140" has himself said that this was just a guess.

In 1985, Artal said, he and other doctors suggested guidelines to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to have pregnant women keep their heart rate below 140 beats per minute during exercise.

Artal said that, in 1985, he and another doctor used intuition and calculation to determine the 140 beats rule. Six months later, when actual testing of women in a lab proved them wrong, Artal said he asked for the 140 beats notation to be stricken from the guidelines.

"For some reason, people caught onto that and they never let go," he said. "Each time I get asked about it, I said forget about it. I think it should be ignored."

yes, it was pretty horrible, although most people were very positive and thought it was great that I wanted to stay active, so I shouldn't have let it put me off.

I looked at it this way. My instructor had a very well established and lucrative business as an instructor, the last thing she would have wanted would have been for me to injure myself because the damage to her reputation would have been irreparable really.

As for the first trimester, I used to spend half the class running to the loo to be sick, blasted morning sickness. I don't think there was a single person in the class who was actually surprised when I announced I was pregnant !

I was to tired to do combat in 1st tri (felt dizzy and washed out) and stuck to walking / cross trainer / weights and Pilates. Now feeling much better and went back to combat yesterday (im 14+4). Listen to your body and do what it tells you!

I did combat, pump and occasionally attack through to the end of the second tri in my first pg. I was given alternative excercises for ab crunches and things that involved laying on my back for the second tri after a quiet word with the instructor in early days, and kept well hydrated - actually started carrying sports drink for sips after a while. Maybe call your gym and ask if there is anyone qualified in pre- and post-natal fitness you can talk to if the instructor at your particular class is unhelpful?

For me, it became more about keeping moving than going for the burn. I always took the low impact options (so no jump kicks/star jumps etc) and kept my weights steady at pump.

On ML with DC2 and haven't been to a class since I found I was pg with him. I really miss combat! Enjoy it.

I did pump up to 35 weeks and only gave up because of my gyms piss poor air con and the fact we were having a heatwave. I came over a bit dizzy one class and decided that it was probably a bit risky to continue.

Used normal weight until 12 weeks then lowered slightly and inclined step. Then gradually lowered weights when i felt i needed to as i went along.

Switched from attack to sh'bam and body jam as soon as i found out i was pregnant as i often couldn't breathe in attack and didn't think that was wise to do whilst pregnant.
