Les Mills Combat

I just received the Les Mills Combat package. It's an intense 60 day workout program. I read a fair amount about it prior to my purchase. From what I gathered, and saw on a short video spot, the program is filled with high impact cardio and plyometric moves in a martial arts format. It looks like someone combined Tony Horton's Kenpo and Shaun T's Insanity.

 

When the box arrived today, I tore into it like the proverbial impatient child at the holidays. I used the Combat Live disc as a first sampling. The routine lasts just over thirty minutes. If you don't think punching and kicking can get the job done, you have to give this one a go. I didn’t work at the highest intensity level as I was learning the moves and sequences. Still, the routine left me a sweaty mess. My heart rate blasted in this one. I have to admit, it was fun. I generally I don't care for music or peppy trainers but, Dan and Rach are compelling.

More details as I dive in deeper. I plan to give each routine a try, and then January 1, 2013 seems like as good a day as any to begin the official 60 day program.

Kick. Punch. Sweat.
