Unite with us - BodyCombat Workout for Water tribe...

... as we change the lives of children.

Mother Teresa said that change happens person to person.  This is us, making a world of difference for one child at a time.

The funds we raise will help UNICEF to complete the Lega and Yelam Gej multi-village solar-powered water systems in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia.

You can fundraise with us, donate now and join our movement to create a fitter planet. 

Team Updates

Good Luck for those entering the competition!

I think each of you are amazing, and thank you for contributing to the lives of those that need it.  Every single dollar will make a difference to the LIFE of someone.... I mean a real, beyond imagination difference.  You should all be proud!

 

Wishing those that are entering the LMI competition all the best.  I hope one of you is selected for the prize! 

 

Have a great week everyone. Dee

Filming is Coming to Sydney this October - learn how your ticket contributes to clean water

Les Mills Asia Pacific is beyond excited to bring this event to our instructor and participant community. 

 

We will be filming classes at Fox Studios in Sydney, and as of today there are still tickets available for the following classes:

*** Non-Instructors Welcome to come and experience the new release magic!! *****

 
BodyBalance (Friday 10th October 1.30pm)
BodyStep (Saturday 11th October 3pm)
BodyJam + Sh'Bam Dance Party (Saturday 11th October 5.45pm - 9.00pm)....
 
The most exciting thing is that ticket sales are donated to our Workout for Water partnership with Unicef....  SO INVITE YOUR MEMBERS to come for a great, once in a lifetime experience.  Tickets are all under $12 so its an affordable event AND will help to bring solar powered water pumps to children who walk up to 2 hours each way, carrying 20kg water tanks, in order to have a drink...
 
Send your members to this link.... if you have one, provide them with your Instructor code so we know you sent them!!

Join the LMI Team Onstage for a Filming Class - YES YOU!

I am beyond excited to be able to FINALLY share this with you all!

 

LMI are so passionate about providing access to clean drinking water to as many children as possible that they have provided a 'money can't buy' prize for our top fundraisers!!

 

Any instructor who raises USD$1,000 (or more) on their personal page (you can still be on our TEAM!) is eligible to enter for the chance to be flown to New Zealand for 5 days and be part of the Presenting Team for your program for that round of filming.... AMAZING!

 

This is open only to instructors (no Les Mills Presenters or Trainers) and is a great way to also receive some one-2-one coaching from the Program Director of your choice...

 

What an amazing opportunity to do something amazing for a person in need, and have the change for a once in a lifetime opportunity for yourself.

 

More details here: https://www.workoutforwater.org/incentives and I will gladly provide anyone on the BodyCombat Australia Team with any help in preparation for submission of your track!

Good luck everyone, and THANK YOU for being the few that do.

Warm Regards, Dee

Be The Change You Want to See

A massive THANK YOU to each and everyone that has contributed to date to our community effort.  Sometimes we are daunted by the size of the problem at hand... in these moments remember that we might not be able to do everything, but we can all do SOMETHING....

 

#BeTheChange you want to see in the world...

 

If your club didn't provide an opportunity to launch BodyCombat 80 you can easily create hype for a Workout for Water class with some other ideas below:

 

1. 90 minute workouts: these are great when you don't have a class after you, or to place in an off-peak weekend slot that people can get behind.  Grab a few Instructor friends and start organizing.

2. 'By Request' classes are fab.  Additionally, you could ask members to donate $5 for each song they request that you play (or $10 if you're cheeky!)

3. Open days: many gyms run open days to bring potential new fitness freaks into their centre... combine your Workout for Water class with 'bring a friend for free' plus additional promotions (see below) that will make your club excited about getting behind this initative.

 

In addition to giving members something exciting to look forward to, consider additional things that you could do to make the class/experience more engaging so people are inclinded to give generously -

 

a/ print a poster with either your page or this page link QR code so people can easily donate off-line

b/ if you bake, bake and sell some goodies post workout for a gold coin donation... cupcakes are winner in my classes every year

c/ approach your club and complimentary businesses to support and promote themselves with a raffle prize.  Something as small as a week's free training pass to your club, or a bag, or massage vochure... then offer tickets in the week leading up to the event

d/ place a donation box at reception with some of the Unicef Workout for Water branding... brief the reception staff on the change you are involved in making to the world to get them on board

e/ auction off things that members can't buy:

- a 30 min technique tune up with you

- a free 30 min PT session with a colleague who wants to be part of the change

- an opportunity to step on stage for a track and shadow you for the Workout for Water class

 

I'm so proud to be part of this amazing program community in Australia.  Hats off to you all, and please message me if I can help in any way. 

 

Warm Regards, Dee

 

PS>  big thanks to Dan for his donation to our team page... together we are stronger.

 

20 Years of BodyCombat

Our quarterly workshops are finished and now is our opportunity to share our passion for this amazing program with our members with BodyCombat 80! 

 

Here are some tips for Instructors as you prepare (hopefully) to launch the release with your Workout for Water class -

Track 2:

When coaching this track strip your cues right back to the basics so people can follow -

a/ jab cross jab

b/ next move knee kick freeze

c/ let's put it in a combo

d/ jab cross jab three times

e/ legs three times FAST

 

Track 4:

Set your class up for success, cue -

a/ 4 lunges, 2 esquiva's to the back

b/ 12 lunges HOLD (as you preview the front esquiva

c/ big combo: 4 lunges, 1 esquiva to the back, 1 to the front

 

Track 7:

Jumping is always optional!  Check out my facebook page to see the video Marlon prepared to help us progress our jumping knees... great cues for your class too!

 

Remember, you can share your own page, or the team page, for your members to donate. 

 

Congratuations on being the change! Dee

Mindful of My Water

from DEE:

 

I have (at least for the last 10 years or so) considered myself a mindful person.  I always aim to lead with kindness (sometimes I get it wrong, but it is never an intention), I shop responsibly, I recycle, I stand up for those without a voice.... however I have found myself, since starting our wonderful BodyCombat group, being aware that I have zero mindfullness around water.

Several times I have found myself at my sink pouring water out of a cup I'd poured earlier and not drunk.  Or empting a bottle from the previous day to only replenish immediately with fresh water.  How wasteful!  I have been taking water for granted!  If I had to walk for 60-90-120 minutes each day to bring fresh water to my home so I could stay hydrated and helathy I am sure I would be more mindful of not being wasteful.  So here is my challenge for you for the week.  Catch yourself being wasteful with your water - turning on the shower and leaving to 'grab something', leavig the tap running while you brush your teeth, doing a double flush 'just to be sure' (!!).... all of this we take for granted, yet so many do not have this luxury.  

What would it be like if we turned on the tap - and nothing came out? ....

Have a good weekend everyone.  THANK YOU for starting your pages.... remember to add your photo!

Thank you to our Sponsors

Well done for supporting this cause and helping to improve the lives of other less fortunate. So far this year I have been able to get to 151x local | 3x interstate | 18x international | 3x filming classes, and am pledging a donation amount for each class taken. Most of these were taught by yourselves, so *big kudos* for showing up week in, week out, and for demonstrating amazing team spirit!
