LM formats, at least the ones I teach, mostly consist "counts of 8". With respect to beats in the music, each count is 2 beats. In BODYUMP, for example, a "slow" clean-and-press is 8 counts (instructor can comfortably and naturally say aloud 1-2-3-4-..., from start to finish of the movement), but it's indicated on the choreography sheet as 2x8. In SPRINT (HIIT cycling), I might say something like: "next interval is 25 seconds seated sprint, then 10 seconds standing power, then another 25 seconds seated sprint, then rest for 25 seconds". That equates to head-counting with the music of 8x8, 4x8, 8x8, 8x8; but strictly by beats would be 16x8, 8x8, 16x8, 16x8.
