It a little thing called body image.

 

I just don't see how 2 guys wearing a top or not changes LM whole stance on Body Image.  I really don't feel like any agenda is being "tossed in my face"

Honestly, I think topless boys is a lot more natural and fitting for Balance compared to the girls wearing evening dresses, or some of the other strange outfit choices I have seen for Balance.  (tape 17?  *lol* )

 

Personally, I am not a huge fan of watching people I do not know without their tops on, but it's definitely not something that gets my knickers in a twist.

It certainly takes a long time to recover from seeing the costumes they wore in BB17. Evening dresses, sarongs etc I can understand - but rubber fetish suits.........Gordon Bennett they must have been squeaking as they sweated.......

THE NEW MORE POWERFUL ME!

Awesome release had the workshop today a very confronting release. Kylie Gates presented the class an awesome class it was :)

Outstanding!

I am only a member of a gym, not an instructor but have been doing BB for 2 years, and saw a sneek preview of BB 41 and it was truly amazing, thought 40 was outstanding, but this was really beautiful. The music, the moves were just great, and the boys with no tops on was great too.Can't wait until it is released for class.

OH MAN....this is going to be one of the most challenging yet!  I was just teasing when I asked for no shirts...but what a TREAT!  

I have missed Kylie....seems that possibly it has been since release 28 on stage though present always.  So beautiful and spirited the whole team and I can't wait to share this with my participants!  A fav I believe it will be but they all are !!

Don't Pace yourself, PUSH yourself!

I think the hardest track for me to learn was the Core (Back)...

THE NEW MORE POWERFUL ME!

Same for me too Duncan. I have taught this release 5 times now and still breathe a sigh of relief when the back track is over! I find it so busy!! It is getting easier as my participants are becoming more familiar with it though. In another couple of weeks it will be a breeze!! (I hope!).

Been there, done that!

Finally, we are now launching BB41 now.  But, according to the Chinese "conservatism", the local manager decided not only none of the presents is allowed to be shirtless, but besides their normal dress, they are all covered with traditional Chinese's shroud.

 

Imagine, in such hot summer day now.

 

I guess we will need a long morning time to recover from this scene...... 

 

-CC.,

ps. For popular demand from non-English-speaking instructors that I have to ask, if Corey is taken, will Dave be pursuable?  What is his favorite type?

Shirtless?

Well, as handsome as the boys may be, this is sending a very disturbing message IMHO.

Once I see the DVD, I'll say more on that.

Right now, I am very sad that this great company, one who promotes and sell a book about about Obesity, also keep the body image myth alive. The myth being that Single digit % of body fat is the way to go.

(Shaking head, shaking head...)

 

 

I just got Release 41 today and the shirtless boys sends the wrong message to me.  I certified on Release 38 and have never seen some of the costumes referenced in other posts, but I'm negatively impressed with what the women are wearing and what the men are not in Release 41.  I must also say, since I recently certified, I am surprised they can just choose to not include one of the tracks on the video.  I doubt very highly that was an option for me.  I have somewhat higher expectations of a world class organization.

 The music and choreography are great.  I am excited to teach this release.
 

I believe they didn't include Track 4b on the video because they had a problem securing rights to use the song in a video transmission.
