A Weighty Matter

This Body Attack video almost made me barf.

It’s here: Body Attack 68 — the site’s in Chinese so I couldn’t find the embed code.

Before joining the gym I joined, I should have honestly thought twice about the fact that it shares a parking garage with a mall and movie theater where everyone in a 10-mile radius flocks when it rains…

Anyways, I skipped the gym today and while trawling the various not-that-legal sites for some cardio videos I decided to try Body Attack. We don’t really have Les Mills classes anywhere around here so I had never tried it and… Whoa. CRAZY )!@(*!)@*@ KIWIS!

The music on this one is really … SOMETHING. (I had no idea it was possible to make Cascada’s “Evacuate the Dance Floor” faster and more anxiety-producing.) However, holy shit is this an insane cardio workout. I consider myself, ya know, relatively fit in the cardiovascular realm, and, flashbacks to Crossfit metcon workouts past, I thought I was gonna meet Pukey a couple times.

Anyone out there really into this IRL? I can’t imagine doing it more than once or twice a week.

Confirmed: all the workout videos are GONE from Netflix.

WHAT GIVES NETFLIX??

Okay so they didn’t have a *huge* selection but I did like some of the old Crunch videos and a few other yoga and dance-type workouts. They’re still available as DVDs — which seems like a ploy to get you to pay the extra $8 for DVD service above Instant. Boooo. I *do* have the DVD service but I want to be able to queue up a workout without waiting for it to arrive in the mail.

Back to YouTube!
