Hidden Benefits Of Body Combat

There I was in Body Combat class the other day, fully charged, kicking and punching and shouting, pushing myself to give my all when it started. That slow rumbling down the pit of my stomach like a volcano waiting to erupt.

At first, it was easy to ignore but then it started to become really uncomfortable. I thought it was because of the 100Plus I had before class, so I pushed on, ignoring the discomfort and instead concentrated on finishing the class, whatever it takes.

Half an hour later I was running out of there before the dizziness, nausea and pain consumes me. By the time I got my ass to the bathroom, I was starting to see the black dots in front of my eyes.

Well, the volcano did erupt. Don’t mess with Mother Nature!

So this gets me wondering. Does all that punching, kicking and shouting somehow stimulate the bowels as well? Are there other benefits to Body Combat besides a good cardio workout that we haven’t realized yet?

Considering that this is probably like the fourth time this has happened to me, it’s worth looking into. I mean, I don’t experience this during Body Step, no matter how tough it is.

Hmmm…
