BODYSTEP® 79 brings Latino and South Pacific vibes, cardio peaks that will push your heart rate through the roof and possibly the most intense leg burn yet. We’ve got Boom Boom Pow in Track 1 to really get you warm. Track 2 will have you singing along like a diva to the Freemasons’ mix of Whitney Houston’s Million Dollar Bill. Check out the new arm combo – you’ll feel like a pop star on MTV. You’ll move around the step with some Spanish flava in Track 3. Move like a ‘Torero’ (bullfighter) or a Flamenco dancer. Let’s Get Excited in Track 4. Look out for the surprise Madonna moment! Moonwalk through Track 5 to Blood On The Dance Floor. You’ll work your lower body, toning and shaping the legs. Add flava by striking a pose each time you hear him scream! Start working your way up to the tough cardio peak in Track 6. Squat Jumps, Double Jumps, Nutcrackers – Nod Ya Head if you’re gasping for breath already! The low options are there if you need them. Watch out for the great new move in Track 7, the Step Jump. This is propulsion training at its highest! Get up even Higher in Track 8 with some Latino flava. I Got A Girl in Track 9 is a super-quick Speed Step Track for the boys. Get your feet moving double time with the new Zigzag Combo. The King of Pop is still in the building with the cover of Smooth Criminal in the first part of Track 11. This is possibly the most intense leg burn to date!

Has anyone been to the workshops yet this quarter?? I'm heading to the Melbourne one next weekend and can't wait!! / Will be my first workshop so I'm pumped. Does anyone know if they still do video sizzlers??

Looks like I may be doing my initial training to BS79, so I'll be really interested to hear any early news and feedback about the release

I got a nice surprise last night when Will Brereton was covering my step class and pulled out 79. The music is nothing to write home about, but I found the cardo tracks intense. And the final peak track in particular is a killer, really hard on the legs. The "new arm combo" that the sizzler talks about is a bit poser-ish, looks like it was stolen from Body jam, I felt like a a bit of a plonker doing it...

Sounds great - I love a good track 10!! I've seen a track list and to be honest I'm a bit unsure about some of the songs, but I'm sure the release will grow on me after listening to it a few hundred times... O:) .

Arm lines sound interesting!! The picture frame arms in 78 took me aaaaageeesss to master so hopeully these ones are easier to get the hang of!!

I went to filmings and can't WAIT to get my dvd. I have it on good authority that I'm all over it... arm lines are not nearly as tricky as 78, but I'm not really a fan of track 10 as I found it really hard on my calves.

I'd love to see a dvd of some of the filmings I've been to - I often wonder if I'm on them! 79 was the first one in ages that I wasn't at - have moved to the other side of the world now...

It's a bit of a bugga that you have to wait 3 months to see if you show up on the DVD!!! I'm going to April filming so I'll have to see if I can make an appearance!! :-D

I've just done 79 for the first time, and in all honesty I'm a bit disappointed. I think tracks 1-3 are great openers (even though a lot of people in the class couldn't master the arm movements in track 2). I really didn't get a lot of motivation from track 4, and thought it lacked "oomph". Tracks 5, 6, 7 and 8 haven't stuck in my memory yet, which isn't a particularly good thing. The speed step had me puzzled, as there really isn't any "speed" to it. Then came track 10, and suddenly it made sense; this is definitely one of the best I've ever done and you certainly need the energy you saved in speed step to get though it. Top it off with one of the hardest track 11s ever (in my opinion), and you get what is I think a very mixed release. It starts off well, dies a death in the middle, but comes back with a vengeance at the end.

What do you guys think?
