		<description>Here are my thoughts on Pump 62, which was launched here yesterday.

Warmup:
Nothing special about this; music isn't particularly motivating, but I suppose it doesn't have to be as it's just the warmup

Squats:
Pretty easy track, with slightly repetitive movements; you're right about the sting in the tail with the bottom halves at the end, though.

Chest Press:
Average track. Relatively easy, though harder than BP61 (which seems to me the easiest one ever). 

Back and Shoulders
Again, quite easy; the track was quite good, and the slightly altered choreography makes it a very enjoyable track.

Triceps
Excellent and a refreshing change. I found the new  movement really hard, though no doubt one will get used to it after a couple of weeks. Very good track, and it's nice to have the standing extensions back.

Biceps
Quite rubbish; track too short and far too easy; the only saving grace is that the tempo was slower than normal so one could focus on better technique.

Lunges
I think this is the star track of the release, and I found having the dynamic lunges at the end works far better, as I felt I could carry on, even though my quads were complaining. In fact, they carried on aching for quite a while after the class, which is a testament to it's effectiveness. I didn't think there would be a lunge track more difficult than Body Pump 42 where the whole five minute track is done with the bar. While I've not done BP42 in ages so it is difficult to compare, this one certainly comes close.

Shoulders
New movement is good, and there is sufficient variety to make this an enjoyable track; still prefer the  BP61 shoulders track, perhaps because I found the track more motivating.

Abs
Quite impressed with this, mainly because a lot of the points made on the 'back school' which I did at Club La Santa were reinforced in this track - ie. slower movements and effort made to mobilise the core muscles. On the downside, it is quite an easy track.



Summary

Overall, a very good release with some good new movements. As for the music, some good tracks, some quite nondescript ones, and quite a few I seem to remember having for RPM in previous releases.</description>
