Credit to Fall Out Boy for this one, and before any berates my choice, remember it could have been a lot worse.
Shortly after arriving here I bemoaned my decision not to bring some mementos with us. My point was that inconsequential items acquired during life often have significance and stimulate associated memories. Tonight I found [...]

Now the new year is in and Christmas is over inevitably thoughts turn to losing those pounds gained over the holiday season - just as adverts on television change from the pre-Xmas ones encouraging food and excess to the post-new year ones promoting the latest diet plans and exercise machines.
It’s also time to consider the [...]

Quick disclaimer - this is (yet) another gym orientated posting. Look away now if this doesn’t interest you!
I’ve almost clocked up 2 years of BodyPump now. When I started I was in poor cardio condition and lacking strength. I can remember in that first class at Central, struggling to lift more than a couple of [...]

That’s right - it’s out - the new BodyPump 64 release from LesMills arrived tonight and here is the review for all of you back in the UK who will have to wait a little longer before getting it. This review will be in the same style [...]
For those of you who do the FitPro / LesMills classes:
LesMills Clothing in Auckland has a sale on at the moment. They are rolling out a new range of clothing and all the old stock is being sold at significantly reduced prices. I took advantage of this offer and bought a fairly plain BodyPump top [...]

I found a short video clip on the LesMills website - click here to go there. It features Glen Ostergard and Susan Tolj, the new directors of BodyPump, talking about what BP64 holds in store for us. Unfortunately I can’t post the movie here directly as it would be a breach of their copyright.
The workshops [...]

Hot off the press - the preview notes for the next release:
BODYPUMP® 64 has a great mix of old school weight moves with new school innovations. This gives the release a real athletic feel with some clever functional training.
Innovation is key in Track 7 with the new Forward and Back Stepping Lunge. This brings the [...]

Every 3 months LesMills release a new version of BodyPump, and once upon a time I wondered why. Standard practice, as recommended by the BTS handbook, is to do the new release for at least 2 - 4 weeks after its launch. After only doing each new one a couple of times I find we [...]

Here it is, hot off the gym-floor! That’s right, we’ve just had the launch of BodyPump 63 tonight. Here’s my review of this release (the fourth in the series now!):
Warmup: A fairly typical first track. It was rather brief on the shoulder presses and squats. Instead they concentrated on the biceps, even including some bottom-half [...]

I found this preview on the great WWW.
This is the total 10-track package! BODYPUMP 63 is full of challenge for effective strengthening and shaping and great motivation in the music. The new class comes with functional exercise innovations in the lunge and abdominals work and a new weight-change option called the ‘Drop Set’ in the [...]
