Gold's Gym Conroe LAUNCHES Body Step!
Kia Ora all you LMI fanatics! Gold's Gym Group X has another challenging program in it's repertoire. Body Step is an interval based class that will push your cardiovascular system to the limit! Steppers start out with a nice easy warm-up to prepare the body for the 55 minute cardio workout. They then move on to a nice Step Orientation which will familiarize them with the height and feel of the step all while moving on/off and around the bench. The program then picks up the pace with a Step Warm Up where the intensity starts to pick up slightly and more directional movement is added.
Track four comes along and takes Steppers to their first Power Peak!!! This sets the tone for the rest of the class. Heart rate climbs, sweat starts to trickle and you get a taste of what it's like to climb the intensity ladder. Work on a "delicious" back side with Fergie in the house for track five! Mixed strength is the goal - you will squat till ya drop! Incredible leg conditioning here folks! Track Six is Step athletic. Members will drill very basic athletic movements all while starting low then building up to their highest level. For Body Step 69 the thought process for this track is train like a Basketball player. Lots of shuffling and power across the tops. We bring it down a notch and bust out the running man in Step Recovery. Great fun but still working the legs and glutes.
Track eight is Party Step - light hearted, fun lyrics, a little more choreography and overall a really good time! Track nine brings speed into the equation. How fast and light can you be? That's your challenge all while keeping a nice stable core! We raise the bar one last time with a Power Peak in track ten. This is the challenge - get through it and you are a winner in every sense of the word!
Track 11 brings everyone down to the floor for some cross training. Upper body includes the beloved push-up, back extensions, and a little stabilization work for the core. Track twelve is our final track where we relax, stretch, laugh a little, connect with each other and leave the work out feeling energized and successful!
Body Step is for anyone! Movements are basic, athletic, powerful and can be adapted for all fitness levels. Come check it out with me on Wednesday mornings at 8:30! Be there or be square!

Body Combat 34
Took the afternoon today to learn the latest Body Combat release from Les Mills. What a great release!! It starts off with sort of a techno sound in the upper body warm up where we see the return of the knife strike and the "bob". This is mixed in with some nice shuffles to get the body moving. The lower body warm up rocks! Scooter is in da house!!! Love him! We have the shuffle ginga which just looks bad @$$!! No ESK this round but they definitely make up for it later on. Tracks 2 & 3 flow nicely and send us into full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mode for Track 4! Welcome back to the jump kick and mix it up with the shuffle ginga and this one knocks it out of the park. Great leg conditioning track thanks to the Vaux! Track 5 introduces a new kicking Kata and semi-contact point fighting. They promised us 35% more kicks and this baby serves it up right with a bit of 'tude! Muay Tai takes hold with a rockin beat that drills the treble elbow and repeater rear knee. Lots of repetition means your members will grasp it quickly and be able to put all of their effort into the workout! We finish off the cardio conditioning with an amazing track 8 that stays true to form with high repetitions of Jabs, Uppers and Hooks. The push up/ab track is a major challenge. Lots of small ranges of motion done at quick tempo get it done and get it done quick! Thanks Dan and Rach for bringing back a nice choreographed cool down. We play with the "forks" - you know the weapons, not the utensils! Overall, BC 34 gets 10 out of 10 stars from moi! Kia Kaha!
