You're so right! I still regularly do the original Thunderstruck, love that track. Not happy about this one. Same goes for Perfect Day warm up. And now in BC, they have re-choreographed 'Set You Free' from a T3 to a T8 and the original is just totally awesome. It gets me even more than when they use the same music in 2-3 different programmes in ...

I am pretty torn right here. I love No Good from BC 38, LOVE the esquiva combo but on the other hand I love the original track, 'I Don't Need Nobody' from BC 20, a killer track 7 which I still mix in and everyone loves it.

Although discouraged in Pump, you could try dumbbells which allow your shoulders to move into compensatory positions. It also allows you to do the same exercise but 1 arm at a time which might be easier for your shoulders. You could also check with a doc/physio on what exercises you can do to rehabilitate your shoulder and speak to your ...

Paul, of course your lower body is stronger than your upper body - largest muscles and compound groups. Take your time and slowly aim to take approx same weight for back and chest, from a body balanced point of view. Althought as I said, technically we are told to advise same weight for chest and back or a little more for chest. I also take the ...

When I did my Combat training we were made to lift one leg up and see at what height we could hold it, so there was no momentum or swinging. We were told where we could hold our leg up was where we kicked. Works well when you think of Nick's comment of pushing forwards through the hip and foot rather than just aero/attack kind of high kicks ...

Then again, no matter how hard I try and work at it, I just can't do a Body Jam body wave! Some people get some moves and some don't. And if you don't have someone around who can train you and teach you to do it then you're pretty much stuck. I'm lucky, I got the ESK. And I'm not a jam instructor

Paul, I wouldn't worry too much about how much weight you're squatting as long as you are feeling it and working hard. If you've just upped your weight then you should give your body some time to adjust to the new demands. however you're feeling comfortable at the end of a track, or just a little tired rather than having to push yourself, then ...

Looks pretty good to me! Rough guide: W.up = biceps, triceps, shoulders W.up x2 = Chest, back, lunges W.up x3 = Squats. Then if you want to get picky, you can do a little extra on triceps and back weight can be a little more than chest. These ratios are based on the size and number of muscle groups  involved in the exercise - so if ...

Where I teach, the instructors can't so don't and won't. But when I say can't, I mean they  tried a couple of times, decided they couldn's and so wouldn't. I bring back 'This ain't a scene...' (BC 33 T4) into the mix almost every quarter and the people love it. As Breaker says, first just a kick, then with a hop which almost everyone can ...

Dave, try to push downwards and forwards with your hips, not your back. Keep your shoulder blades squeezed together and your spine long whiel pressing your hips forward. Watch your knee alignment as well, keeping the knee well behing the toes, in line with the ankle. The tips on joining a Balance class (even just once!) is good because you do ...
