“The Body Combat program is an instructor-led cardiovascular workout for adults that works several muscle groups in the body, but does not require them to have knowledge of any of the martial arts disciplines,” Wolf said.

“The workout is supported by driving music and powerful role model instructions. A lot of kicking, striking and punching are performed throughout the workout. The key thing is to get the body moving, and burning fat and calories.”
