Hey instructors! When it comes to mixing up past releases, please try to


teach most tracks from the past 10 releases. BODYATTACK now has a strong
focus on sport and fitness training, and we want your classes to reflect the
new training concepts and movement styles. This program is no longer ‘old
school’ aerobics – so bear this in mind when making your track selection.
