Sorry for not being here

Hi,

I am sorry that the blog has not been updated.

I will update the tracklists and this blogger this weekend.

Once again sorry.

The soundtrack to this release is the best yet! Featuring hits such as Pat Benatar's All Fired Up, Fever by Peggy Lee and Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love, you'll be singing all the way through this release.

The lyrics in the songs inspire the moves which in turn will allow you to "Team Teach With The Music" with ease! Also, at your request, we have choreographed the first five tracks with no stops – to keep people moving, engaged and their heart rates up.

Again there's a new move in Track 2 – The Woodchop. This exercise stretches and strengthens across the core by connecting glutes to lats across the back and obliques to adductors across the front. And it feels great!

You'll be all fired up in Track 5 which is all about levels and directions to drive you right to the end of the cardio segment before relaxing into the Eagle Pose in Track 6 – the calm after the storm!

Track 8 features upper body, biceps/triceps work that rivals BODYPUMP so watch out. But no pain, no gain! There are two new moves in Track 9 – the Side Leg Lift, which promotes strength, stability and is great for your hips, and Around The World. This targets the muscles around the leg from back to front.

The back is worked differently in Track 11 as you’re not lying down. A new move, the Kneeling Waiters Bow, also works the shoulders and back of the body beautifully.

There is an emphasis in BODYVIVE™ 9 on upper spine conditioning and strengthening which ties in with the setup and maintenance of GREAT POSTURE throughout the class and in daily life.

You might as well face it – you're addicted to BODYVIVE™

BODYVIVE TRACKLIST SITE

SIZZLER BODYVIVE MIX 06!

Better late than never :)

BODYVIVE™ 6 mixes simplicity of movement and senational sounds to produce a truly benefits-based workout for everyone! There are just two to three moves in each track, so both new and seasoned participants will be able to achieve optimal results.

Tai Chi inspired breathing move, the Butterfly, starts the class and is used a number of times throughout BODYVIVE 6. You'll see the Butterfly again in Track 6 where we use it to calm our body and mind and focus on the inward breath.

There's fun to be had while doing the Loco-Motion in Track 2 which features the Double Walking Lunge - a great functional move. The Locomotion Arms will help connect your core and lift your heart rate. Line dancing to Man! I Feel Like A Woman is definitely a highlight - the simple choreography means you can really get into the track.

Train both the front and back of the legs well in ZZ Top's Legs and swing those hips Latino style to J-Lo's Let's Get Loud. The Balance and Leg Strength Track is dance inspired with new moves and VIVE tubing options that mimic ballet barre work. This is great for coordination, balance and glute strength.

Watch for the two new moves in the Ab Strength Track - the Roller Ball and the Pilates 8. Both these moves are extremely effective at targeting the abs. This release is finished how is was started - with the beautiful Butterfly.

BODYVIVE ™ MIX 05 Sizzler!

High Vives" for BODYVIVE ™ 05! This release is about fitness, fun and being free to be.

Musically, it's a blast and it features creative new moves that members will love. Get your groove on in Boogie Wonderland and blow the roof off with YMCA (choreography courtesy of Les Mills - not the Village People!); then sing along to Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out For A Hero and Ben E King's Stand By Me.

Barry Manilow's Copacabana is the dance track and it's imperative all participants imagine themselves sipping pina coladas with feathers in their hair! The track finishes with a conga line so get ready to shake it!

There are two great new moves in this release: the Lying Bicep Curl and the Assisted Hover. The Lying Bicep Curl features in the first strength track and maximses the curl benefits while minimising bad form. You'll have to wait to Track 10 for the Assisted Hover which trains the deep abdominal muscles.

Think of the Back Care track as being similar to a trip to the zoo with the Down Dog, Cat Stretch, Bear Pose and Horse Stance Pointer!

The class will reap the benefits of improved heart fitness, great functional strength and a stronger core. Get ready for some fun in BODYVIVE ™ 05.

BODYVIVE™ MIX 04

Here is the very first look at BODYVIVE™ MIX 04

BODYVIVE™ 4 is about simple moves and providing lots of options for members to have fun and a great workout - whatever their fitness level. There's a great disco feel running through the class with moves from Saturday Night Fever and The Brooklyn Hustle setting the scene.

Again the music is a big crowd pleaser and the new release kicks off with If I Could Read Your Mind. This will be an instant winner with class members who will remember Gordon Lightfoot hot. Memories come flooding back again with Boogie Nights and the old school grapevine move. Everyone gets up close and personal with a partner in track four where we work on heart fitness I was Made for Loving You motivates the class to a full range of movement in the legs. The Zen archery inspired bow and arrow move makes BODYVIVE™ debut in the tai chi and yoga track where we chill out to the smooth sounds of the Floaters. Members will love the challenge of the functional strength tracks. They have great options for everyone and target hips, triceps, shoulders, and back to build strength and improve mobility. The Shot Put is another new move focuses on shoulder arms and back strength in track 9. Get ready to groove with BODYVIVE™.

You choose your workout level and finish fizzing with energy.
