What "up to 570" means
"Up to" is a ceiling, not an average. The number you burn in a class depends on several things, so treat 570 as the top of a range rather than a promise.
- Body size. Heavier people use more energy for the same movement.
- Effort. Taking the high option and pushing in the peaks burns more than taking the low option.
- Class length. Les Mills lists 30, 45 and 55 minute formats. A 30 minute class will burn less than a full class.
- Fitness level. As you get fitter, the same class can feel easier.
How to get more out of each class
- Go a little bigger in the power training tracks once you know the moves.
- Keep moving at low intensity instead of stopping completely when you need a break.
- Come back regularly. Les Mills recommends two to three classes a week for results.
Calories are only one part of the picture. Many people stay with BODYCOMBAT because it is fun and lets them let off steam. See How often should you do BODYCOMBAT? for building a routine.
