    You use dumb-bells in Attack? is that safe? I'd be scared of them flying out of my hands and hitting someone else in the class.

    Yeah, I mean... you keep a definite grip on them. Lol. They're 3 lbs so not that difficult to handle/keep secure. I would NEVER go any heavier though, because of exactly your mentioned fears. Some of the moves (clapping, obviously) are modified when I use them, and only bring them close to eachother...just to work with the resistance.

    In my weekly class, 3 of us use them on a regular basis.

    So far only one instructor hasn't allowed their use, but all others seem ok with it. I definitely appreciate the fact that some instructors wouldn't allow them, and would always set them down right away if asked... :-D

    I'm sorry, but that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, no one should be using free weights dueing body attack. Are you sure your instructor is certified? Les Mills would strike them off for that!

    Ridiculous? I don't think so... each to their own. I felt like I wanted a little extra resistance in the class and that is how I achieved it during some tracks.

    Since my original post I no longer use them, nor do the others that orginally did....as per the request of the instructor. I was happy to comply, and now enjoy BodyAttack as it was intended :-).

    I do at least 3 Attacks a week. I feel in love since I tried it about two years ago. Since then, I haven't looked back. I have seen big improvement in my running time/pace. BUT....I have a question for you guys
    Why do I only see only a guy or two and rest of the attackers are all females in the class? I know first track or two has all kinds of crazy clapping so guys don't like that. But still...why most guys don't like to do it?

    I do attack once or twice a week. I enjoy it and combined with good eating habits and other resistance training I have lost weight and size with it.
