Already posted this on LM.com, but no harm in sharing here too:

BODYPUMP® 72 is all about making your class stronger, faster. How? By focusing on Bottom Halves and Partial Range movements, the rest phase is eliminated and the muscles are kept under tension for longer. Look forward to a challenging workout and an overall strength blast where active recovery is your only break! Brace your abs and prepare for more Bottom Halves than you bargained for in the Squats Track.

Kelly Clarkson will motivate you to keep going with her huge hit I Do Not Hook Up. New Zealand’s own Dane Rumble sings Track 3 – Always Be There. Bottom Halves and Slow Bottom Halves will put your chest muscles under tension for a little bit longer than usual. Ouch! The good news is this will give you results faster. The Triceps Track is sweet like Sugar! Again, Bottom Halves are the name of the game.

Challenge yourself and go a bit heavier than normal in the rocky and upbeat Biceps Track. The Bicep Row returns, attacking your guns from a different direction. It’s back to the legs in the intense Track 7. The Lunges stick with the theme of the release – you guessed it – lots of Bottom Halves that will push up your heart and burn calories. The Shoulders Track is a tribute to the legend that is Michael Jackson – make sure you watch the DVD for this one! The range of motion in the Singles has been shortened to ¾ Range. Grit your teeth and hang on!

Ciara and Justin Timberlake will take you through the Abdominals Track with Love Sex Magic. The mix of deep, lower abdominals work and the Walking Hover will chisel your six-pack and at the same time strengthen your core.

Squat track was a toughie, as was the Triceps track (welcome back "Dips" ). Lunges were also surprisingly hard (with squats mixed in). Abs has a hover off the step again with a twist. Cooldown was all over the show - lie down, sit up, change directions, lie down... 8-[

I think I'll enjoy teaching this one. I didn't enjoy doing it (esp Ab track) on the hard wooden floor (I know, I know, toughen up!), but once I get a mat/carpet, all will be good.

Yay, I was just thinking I was missing dips.

[Mel]

omg........I don't think I'm ready for dips :shock:

Of course you are!! It's a war Mel, it's a war against your triceps! Are you going to sit there with your thumb in your mouth? NO!! You are a MOTHER, you can do anything! DO...US...PROUD!! One for the MUMS =D^

Go Mel!!!!! /

[Special]

I'll take dips over triceps push ups any day.

[Mel]

ok, I'm on a mission to try and lose more weight before we have to do tricep dips, lol!

[CuteZ3]

Yay! The return of dips PLUS some kind of funky twist on the bench hover. Can't wait!

Taught this for first time on Wednesday night, my butt is still outlandishly sore! :shock: It is true, the squat track is a real "butt-kicker", it kicked mine bigtime, and I'm the instructor!

Participants were lying down half-way through the ab track (in hover sequence), so had to really motivate them to stay in the work-out.

Now back to old Pump for this morning...ho hum...

[Mel]

I had to rest during those hovers at the workshop. My current fitness level is more representative of the general participant and it's pretty damn hard. Didn't even try the advanced option...........hmmmm

Eventually I'm here...
Dips are welcome for me.

I will do the entire release tomorrow O:)

Stay tuned for the review.
