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 seeting the scene.

Again, the music is a big crowd pleaser and the new release kicks off withIf You Could Read My Mind. This will be an instant winner with class members who remember the original Gordon Lightfoot hit. 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 4 where we work on heart fitness. I Was Made For Loving You motivates the class to use a full range of movement in the legs. The zen archery-inspired bow and arrow move makes a 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 focused on shoulders, arms and back strength in track 9.

Get ready to groove with BODYVIVE 4. You choose your workout level and finish fizzing with energy!

Finally saw this today and it was fun! So much faster than BODYVIVE 3 but the music is great and the moves flow nicely!

Had a chance to listen and look at BV 4.
I like the music. Our members however are going to have an issue with all the electric guitars...
Too many move changes, and way too many 80's step moves. And the Chicken?
I'm giving BV until release 6, and if it stays the course it's on, will have to say goodbye.

ok I did this release today. It's only my second Vive class ever with the first class being on Vive 2. I have to say, it was kinda fun. Obviously I don't get the same out of this class as I do, say, attack or balance........but it's kinda "cute" and I even like some of the music :biggrin:

I think my favourite track is definately "I was made for loving you" and the choreography is awesome. A hell of a lot of fun. Gotta be on the ball and ready to pass the ball though! :lol:

The chicken, hmmmm.........I guess I have reservations about this one too, but during our training today we were actually practising the moves and I felt better about this one after practising it in the mirror. It's just a bit of fun and i guess it isn't for everybody.

the bow and arrow thing feels like it was inspired by the tai chi in the current balance release. Or maybe it was vice versa?

Feels weird doing warrior 2 in shoes though, lol.

I'm looking forward to doing more body viving. Not many gyms with the licence here yet, but hopefully I get to pick up a class ;)
