Les Mills On-Demand Body Combat #73 clock in at around 57 minutes. The presenters are Erin Maw, Caley Jack, Reagan Kang, Eduard Zalar, Rachael Newsham and Dan Cohen. Please see spreadsheet for breakdown. Workout format is similar to other body combat workouts.  This particular workout included a really long Power Training 2 segment that contains floor base strength and core moves. Another solid workout Body Combat #73 - 3 & 1/2 stars

Les Mills On-Demand BodyCombat #74 clocks in at just over 53 minutes.  The presenters are Dan and Rachael.  They are joined by Erin Maw and Marlon Woods. Track 5 Power Training 2 is floor based.  There are plank jacks, mountain climbers, and sprawls. Track 9 is also floor based. It is your core track. This was fun. I had not done a BodyCombat workout it awhile. I like most of the music tracks and the presenters were excellent. BC#74 - 3 & 3/4 stars

Sh'Bam #22 is an on-demand 30 minute workout.  This workout has been dubbed "Cardio in Disquise" and the presenters are Rachael Newsham and Tauvaga Benjamin Siolo. The Tracks are: That's What I  Like - 3:09 Whoomp (Supadupafly) - 3:02 Worth It - 3:40 Shawty Get Loose - 3:26 Firestarter - 3:07 Fist Pump, Jump, Jump - 3:41 Blow Me One Last Kiss - 4:46 You Don't Own Me This one was okay. Not my favorite but there were some good parts. My favorite segments were Worth It and Firestarter.   Rachael is always fun and Tauvaga was good to as a presenter too. 3 & 1/2 stars

Body Combat #65 On-demand version clocks in at 27:45.  This workout is lead by Dan Cohen, Rachael Newsham, and Brian Cochrane. The on demand version contains the following segments. 01a Upper Body Warm up (3:58) lead by Rachael. 01b Lower Body Warm up (4:25) lead by Dan. 2 Power Training 1 (4:29) lead by Brian 3 Muay Thai (4:07) also lead by Brian. 4 Power Training 3 (6:09) and 5 Conditioning (2:51) - Racheal is the lead in both 4 and 5. I was a bit bummed that this workout didn't feature a combat segment.  Those are usually my favorite.  The power training segments featured punches - mostly jabs, uppers and hooks and cardio (running or jogging in place, scissor feet).  The conditioning segment was core/ab work.  Of the segments presented, the Muay Thai segment was my favorite. 3 & 3/4 stars

Sh'Bam #21 features Rachael Newsham, Remi Brouns, and Nuno Alvaro Adelaide De Brito as the presenters.  The workout clocks in at over 28 minutes and features 8 song tracks. The tracks : 1.  Dance With Me (3:35) 2.  Cuba 2012 (3:45) 3.  Juicy Wiggle (3:35) 4.  Heartbeat Song (3:16) 5.  New Thang (3:08) 6.  7/11 (2:36) 7.  Celebrate (3:09) 8.  I've had the time of my life (3:50). This one was pretty good. Most of the tracks and dances I liked. In one of the dances, the presenters went out and dance the end of the song with the audience.  In the Heartbeat song track, Rachael presents most of that one by herself. 3 & 3/4 stars

Sh'Bam #20 clocks in at under 28 minutes.  The presenters for Sh'Bam #20 are Rachael Newsham, Sarah Robinson, and Carla Fitzsimons. The tracks and approximate times are: 1.  I will never let you down (3:01) 2.  Yeah! (3:55) 3.  Burning Up (3:34) 4.  Payphone (3:17) 5.  Hey Mama (3:10) 6.  Conga (3:20) 7.  Born to Hand Jive (3:20) 8.  Dance! (3:00) This one was super fun. One of my favorites. Dances follow the same pattern as the other Sh'Bam workouts. Presenters start off teaching a move usually at 1/2 pace. They increase the speed and layer on moves as the song track progresses. You get a bit of a break as you move from one song track to the next. 4 & 1/4 stars

Sh'Bam #15 clocks in at around 47 minutes.  Like 14, there is a 30 minute version to 15 as well.

Les Mills On Demand Body Combat #59 clocks in at just over 31 minutes.  The presenters in this workout are: Dan Cohen Rachael Newsham Pernilla Blomquist Mika Kankainen. However there are a lot of other cast members on stage that come in and out depending on the round. The segments featured: 01a Upper Body Warm up 4:10 01b Lower Body Warm Up 4:30 2 Combat 1 4:03 3 Power Training 1 5:06 4 Combat 2 5:22 5 Power Training 2 6:00 I enjoyed the upper body warm up in this one as it featured blocks and strikes. Combat 1 was led by Mika and Power Training 1 by Pernilla and both of these were high energy fast past segments especially the Power Training. Again the workout, just ends after Power Training 2. 3 & 3/4 stars

Les Mills On Demand Body Combat # 62 clocks in at 29:47.  This workout is lead by Dan Cohen, Rachael Newsham, and Andres Vesga.  The segments are for On Demand Body Combat # 62 01A - Upper Body Warm up 4:41 01B - Lower Body Warm up 2:52 02 - Combat 1 - 3:43 03 - Power Training 1 - 4:15 04 - Muay Thai - 7:51 05 - Core Conditioning - 4:48 Usually I think the Muay Thai segments are too long but I like this particular Muay Thai segment.  This workout ends after the Core Conditioning segment, so the ending is a bit abrupt. Yeah, I like this one. 3 & 3/4 stars

Les Mills On-Demand BodyCombat #64 is a streaming workout that clocks in at 29:59.  I have been trying to resist the streaming movement but I got as a gift for Christmas a year's subscription to the Les Mills On Demand service. Les Mills On-Demand contains a variety of workouts from different programs. Most of the programs looks like they are a shorter version of the original workout that was produced.  I think of the on-demand version as pre-mixes. The program directors for the BodyCombat series are Dan Cohen and Rachael Newsham and in BodyCombat#64 they are the only presenters. The segments that make up this workout are: 01A Upper Body Warm Up 4:58 01B Lower Body Warm Up 4:31 02 Combat 1 2:10 03 Power Training 2 5:54 04 Combat 3 3:09 05 Muay Thai 7:57 I really like this one.  It was short and to the point and full of high energy.  I also enjoyed the majority the music tracks. The streaming was fine for this particular workout.  Also, the worko...
