BODYVIVE™ BY LES MILLS INTERNATIONAL™

10 Years

2010-12-27T22:09:00.001+10:00

It has been 10 years since the release of the tracklists. I released all my tracklists December 2001. Up till then they were on my computer and that is where they stayed. Mid October 2001 I decided to launch my tracklists on the old domain I used to post to.

Thanking everyone for their support and looking forward to the next 10 years.

BODYVIVE™ 15 – SIZZLER

2010-04-02T08:32:00.002+10:00

BODYVIVE™ 15 is a fully-fledged teenager with heaps of energy and plenty of strong, powerful, easy-to-learn moves that deliver great leg strength, toning and conditioning. It’s even got a bit of a sting in the tail courtesy of a butt-burning Beyoncé track!

As you’d expect, there’s no shortage of singalong tracks – the only question is which one will you be humming all afternoon? Guaranteed to get under your skin is Track 3’s Shake Your Groove Thing – show us how you do Dance Cardio now! It’s a Perfect Day in Track 5 so drop the VIVE™ ball and enjoy the freedom while you work your class to a cardio peak. Track 6 takes us through Tai Chi & Yoga with three BODYVIVE™ Sun Salutations. In Minute By Minute you will feel length and strength in the Down Dog as your heart rate lowers.

You’ll find yourself Crazy In Love with some challenging Functional Strength innovations in Track 9 – it’s intense but it’s worth it! Then it’s time to Push Up with the Freestylers in Track 11. We do 30 Pushups in three blocks of 10!

BODYVIVE™ 13 SIZZLER

2009-10-13T13:25:00.000+10:00

BODYVIVE® 13 - LAST 1/4 NOVEMBER 2009

BODYVIVE™ 13 has a sporty feel with simple choreography that will make your class get the most out of their workout. Have fun with the new Boxing moves in Track 5 and look out for the new back exercise for GREAT POSTURE in Track 8. Play That Funky Music and build strong legs with the Squat & Hamstring Curl Combo in Track 2. Track 3 is a real classic – Earth, Wind & Fire’s September. Have fun with the Disco moves that will lift the intensity to new heights. Get ready to stride across the room in the empowering Track 4! The anthem No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) will push you through the Squat with VIVE™ ball throw. Extend and lengthen your body and enjoy the poses, before getting down with the Balance & Leg Strength exercises to Five’s If Ya Gettin’ Down in Track 7. The combination of one-legged balance work and upper body resistance will really challenge your class to push their limits. Track 9 is all about getting sexy hips! Push through the resistance of the VIVE™ tube to Justin Timberlake’s SexyBack. Lisa Stansfield’s classic This Is The Right Time will take you through the Ab Strength Track. Single and Double Leg Extensions are in the house! The options are there if you need them. Track 11 features Pushups – for the first time ever in a BODYVIVE™ release! Using the VIVE™ ball, you’ll work at your own intensity level. The Bow & Arrow using the VIVE™ tube will work your upper back and build a strong posture. Then Release & Restore to the beautiful words of Because You Loved Me.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

2009-09-29T19:54:00.001+10:00

users.bigpond.blogforumsupport is now closed.

After 5 years the old tracklists sites are no longer there they have been closed off as of today. Bigpond has decided to close all sub-domain accounts as of the 30th September 2008. However, this site will remain active and all trackists now will be here at Blogforumsupport.com

Sorry for not being here

2009-04-16T12:21:00.000+10:00

Hi,

I am sorry that the blog has not been updated.

I will update the tracklists and this blogger this weekend.

Once again sorry.

2008-09-21T17:39:00.000+10:00

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™

Will hopefully be here this weekend (new site and all that) and hosted on our own domain :)

Here it is:

BODYVIVE TRACKLIST SITE

SIZZLER BODYVIVE MIX 06!

2008-03-08T11:51:00.001+10:00

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.

New Tracklist Site for 2008!

2008-01-01T19:15:00.000+10:00

Happy New Year for 2008!

2007-12-25T19:04:00.000+10:00

Everyone have a wonderful Christmas break and an awesome 2008 :)

BODYVIVE ™ MIX 05 Sizzler!

2007-10-11T11:54:00.000+10:00

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

2007-07-10T19:17:00.000+10:00

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.

New format for Bodyvive from Release 03!

2007-05-06T10:22:00.000+10:00

As of release 3 there is a new format for Bodyvive. The class structure has changed from Bodyvive 02 and 03.

I am trying to remember where you put the tracks from Mix 01 and 02 and in what new order that is in?

Dione explained that to on Saturday. The new format was constructed around heart rate zones and different MHR responses to the exercises. I think the new 3 blocks to the class is awesome and I enjoyed the change in format. We also used the Vivie ball and bands in a sequential structure and I enjoyed that aspect of the new class. :)

New Bodyvive Format:

01. Rise & Shine
02. Connect & Go
03. Dance Cardio
04. Interactive Cardio
05. Fitness Cardio
06. Tai Chi & Yoga (Moved to new location)
07. Balance & Leg Strength
08. Strength 1 - Upper Body
09. Strength 2 - Hip Strength
10. Ab Strengthener
11. Back Care
12. Release & Restore

BODYVIVE MIX 03 - MAY 2007!

2007-04-01T20:15:00.000+10:00

BODYVIVE is getting a big 'thumbs up' from members as we continue the worldwide rollout. Especially popular is the overall feel-good nature of the classes, together with the community and interactive elements, the classic music from yesteryear and the distinctive, targeted exercise blend.

BODYVIVE 3 is now set to fuel further take-up in gyms, with some structural adjustments providing a more smoothly flowing class. Heart fitness and functional strength tracks are now grouped together, with the tai chi and yoga track setting up the transition between the two main blocks. The new class warms up with easy moves to the sound of John Paul Young's Love is in the Air and moves up a geat with VIVE ball work and the classic How Sweet It Is from James Taylor.

Members get to practice their mambos and cha cha chas' in the new dance cardio track; then step it out together for some interactive fun with the Jackson Five hit, Can You Feel It, from circa 1980. Everyone works hard with Amii Stewart's Knock On Wood - motivation's not a problem for this final heart fitness track - and there's a real good feeling about the arabesques and the T-shirt strip as we calm things down with tai chi and Fleetwood Mac.

Functional strength tracks focus sequentially on balance and leg strength, upper body strength and hips strengthening, before Christina Aguilera and friends and Simply Red take the stage to take us through the remaining core work. Finally, we get to "release and restore" with the Moody Blues' dream rock classic Nights in White Satin.

Enjoy!

Looks like an awesome mix. I remember most of the tracks above :)

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after Bodyvive!

2007-02-18T15:22:00.000+10:00

Just wanted to share this I discovered that doing Bodyvive before Bodypump and Bodybalance that Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) does not set in. I get bad Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) sometimes but this time it never happened.

So to not get Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) do Bodyvive before any Les Mills class :)

BODYVIVE™ MIX 01 - 17- FEBURARY 2007!

2007-02-18T15:00:00.000+10:00

Yesterday finally had a chance to do BODYVIVE™ MIX 01 I am one very happy person. Its like being there from Day 1.

The BVB's (Bodyvive Balls) were strange to get used to using. The BVRB's (Bodyvive Resistance Bands) were also strange to get used to in class. Using them was fun to say the least.

I sang my way through the class had a ball singing along with the songs while exercising to the music of Bodyvive. The room was buzzing - everyone was very happy to be there.

There are some different things to this class. I thought this was going to be an easy class, boy was I wrong it is as hard as you may want it to be was a ball of sweat by the end of the class.

The thing that stuck out most about the class is the music and actually knowing the songs which was a shock.

Tracks 3 and 4 were fun tracks especially the start of track 4 lol.

Loved every part of the class.

Congratulations to Les Mills International for their new program. Awesome music, choreography and the whole class was a joy to be in and apart of.

More coming when I can remember it :)

BODYVIVE™ 01- FEBURARY 2007!

2007-02-15T19:41:00.000+10:00

Coming my way finally after 6 months is BODYVIVE™ MIX 01.

Will write up something here on what I think of the release here on Monday.

I just wished I had the opportunity to be at the bootcamp here for this program.

Hopefully I can do the training for BODYVIVE™ and become a Master Trainer for BODYVIVE™ by the end of 2007 hahahaha :) I am going to be one awesome BODYVIVE™ Master Trainer watch out I am coming :)

The best of Roberta Flack!

2007-01-20T20:42:00.000+10:00

Posted this somewhere else I recently put on this CD and 09 Back together again (remastered edit version) would be an awesome track for Bodyvive as a last track. In fact anything by Roberta, Dionne Warwick would be an awesome addition to any Bodyvive class.

I adore Roberta Flack and Pebo Bryson and their music and her duos with Donny Hathaway.

Her music has been apart of musics landscape for almost the last 50 years. She was wonderful in Bodypump 24 as a track 10.

When you go through her music on her site you remember places and where you were when you heard her music. Born to Love is one of my favorite CD's. "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" is an outstanding single from that release.

Around about 1982 I re-discovered her music with her song "Making Love" that song touched me on so many levels and to this day when I put on that track it still has the same effect. It is from the movie "Making Love" which was a controversial movie back then. Harry Hamlin and Kate Jackson were in the movie. I adore Kate Jackson from (Charlies Angels.) and Jacklyn Smith and Fara Fawcett Majors.

Well Roberta has a new CD all her wonderful songs are now collected in the one place. If you love Roberta Flack then you must have this CD.

Trackview:

01 Killing me softly with his song
02 Where is the love?
03 Feel like makin' love
04 The first time ever I saw your face
05 And so it goes
06 Tonight, I celebrate my love
07 The closer i get to you
08Till the morning comes
09 Back together again (remastered edit version)
10 Making love
11 Only heaven can wait (for love)
12 Set the night to music
13 You are my heaven
14 Oasis
15 Don't make me wait too long
16 And so it goes (reprise)
17 Trade winds (tom mouton mix)

Check out the wonderful music of Roberta Flack :) I would love it if Jackie would use her music in Bodybalance/Flow.

So if anyone from Les Mills is reading here this CD should be a must in any Bodyvive class :)

New Idea - Song Suggestions for Bodyvive and other thoughts!

2007-01-07T18:57:00.000+10:00

Adding this as a category here on the blogger should be fun to suggest tracks for a program I have never done or seen. I will get a better idea next month at our 1/4 at the new location in the city.

Have a fab location now we get to see views of the city and the skyline which is pretty cool. On the way to the class I pass an all you can eat B&B with everything imaginable to eat there. So will eat a small breakfast there this time before the 1/4.

This time we start at 8:00 am and end sometime like 6:45 pm at night which is close to a 10 hour day. So need plenty of carbs and protein to get through the event.

Should have some pictures of the Bodyvive Masterclass the week after for the site. I am excited about this as this is going to be my third programme.

I think we have the best location now for a 1/4 release here what more can I say I live in one of the best places of all "The Sunshine State" :)

I adore where I live :)

Lynne Brick - Presenter for Bodyvive Mix 01!

2007-01-06T17:32:00.000+10:00

The guys at Les Mills corrected me!

Here is a picture of our international boss Lynne Brick doing BODYVIVE™!

I said it was our Boss Maureen Baker she looks like Maureen. Many applogies for this and to our International Training Manager boss Maureen Baker.

Lynne and her husband Victor own a chain of gyms in the US called Brick Bodies and they also own the Les Mills Mid Atlantic!

I am going to get some photos at the 1/4 in February and post them here as well. :)

BODYVIVE™ DOWN UNDER UPDATE!

2007-01-06T17:09:00.000+10:00

BODYVIVE™ is heavily featured in this months "Revolution" the official LMAP magazine. Which I got this week. On page 20 & 21 are details of the release and generally what I can expect from BODYVIVE™ when it comes my way. Test Driving the release is the focus on the February 2007 1/4 for BODYVIVE™ it will also be featured at FILEX 2007 in April.

They say that the program is aimed at Babyboomers well I am not in that generation and I can see that BODYVIVE™ can have a broad appeal to everyone. I guess that they are targeting the 45 - 60 age group and the deconditioned participant that might come to the gym for the very first time. I personally think this is a good thing for people that have not exercised ever. This may bring them into the gym gradually and allow them to get their feet wet in the aerobics room which is a good thing.

I am not a baby boomer I am Generation X "Revolution" says that the "Baby boomers have taken Bodypump to the heights of its success. (Revolution page 21 2007.)" I am in Generation X and think that everyone has taken Bodypump to where it is today and Generation Y as well.

Finding the balance will be the success of BODYVIVE™ in 2007 and allowing the program to be accessible by everyone. I am looking forward to seeing how that demographic balance comes out this year. It might be a success across multiple generations also. The issue of getting people back into the gyms and the aerobics floor is the main objective here and offering clients the best exercise for for them as I see it. Many people in the demographic that is being targeted have been leaving the gyms because of the massive cardio demands of modern aerobic programs with MHR's and BPM's taking to a level that is not sustainable by allot of people that enter the aerobics room. I remember one lady coming to Bodypump when we were launching Bodypump 50 at that time she was well into her 70's and she found that Bodypump a real struggle. She stayed for the class and did the lower options and decided that Bodypump was not for her because of the structure of Bodypump.

In saying that I hope that BODYVIVE™ does not go extreme and stays at a base level with some challenging moves and delivering a cardio blast in a short sequence (I will see how I go when I do the program in February.) I will write up more coming close to the time of the classes taking off here and provide my viewpoint of BODYVIVE™ then.

kia ora pipera!

Bodyvive Mix 01 Sizzler!

2007-01-04T09:07:00.000+10:00

Welcome to BODYVIVE. Our new program is set to take its place alongside the other LES MILLS programs as a fitness phenomenon with incredible participant appeal. Pre-launch classes have shown that BODYVIVE offers a distinctive take on the addictive 'exertainment' experience that has popularized our programs throughout the world. Now it's time to bring BODYVIVE experience to life on a global scale - with a debut class that will leave members fizzing with energy and hungry for more. Who better to get the party started than the Bee Gees (were you at that concert in '75?) And who better to get the heart rate pumping than the 'Big O' himself? Oh Pretty Woman was ranked one of the top songs in our trial classes.

The hits keep coming through our first Functional Strength block and members mingle in an interactive Heart Fitness track to the huge bring-back sound of Woman In Love. Earth Wind and Fire's Let's Groove energizes the upper body workout; then cue Sting to introduce the core and restorative work with his dreamy Fields of Gold. The class winds up with the moving Time To Say Goodbye from Sarah Brighman, as members reflect on a job well done and look forward to their next BODYVIVE session.

Many thanks Tigger :)
