I just watched the DVD the other day and now am working on learning the chorey to launch on Oct. 19.  I don't know why, but I am having a dickens of a time learning this release.  I am spending more time watching/ practicing with the dvd than ever in past releases.  Just my personal opinion, the notes are not helpful in any way for ...

Our BV classes are doing well at our club and my classes have been expanding every week.  The fitness levels in my classes are so broad so I make sure I offer every possible option available at least twice for every track.  I always stress how it is ok to take the lower options especially when I see someone struggling to keep ...

This 30 minute format class will follow a Pump technique class and Zumba will follow my BV class.   I must say, we have no problems getting new members to try BV.  I think that goes to having a member services department that talks up BV to new members.  Our day classes have over 30 people in them and the evening classes have ...

I need some input about how to put together a 30 minute version of BodyVive.  My club is doing a special event this Sunday for all new members.  We are giving the members a sampling of a number of classes and BV is one of them.  I just need to figure out which tracks I am supposed to eliminate to get down to 30 minutes.  I am ...

I am wondering what is the correct way to do C&P.  I was trained to lift the heels off the floor to help get the bar up and over.  My boss told me last week that lifting the heels in not allowed and she said a new instructor who recently submitted their video got ''nailed'' for doing that.  But in Release 68, I am positive Glen ...

Too bad it isn't working for you. At our club, our Vive is doing quite well. We did drop 1 class, but we have a large number of requests to add a class on the weekend. We would love to do it, but we don't have enough instructors certified in BV.  I know that the day time classes are jam packed with participants.  Night time isn't as big, ...

I just taught to a packed Pump class Wednesday night.  The size of the group just ''pumped'' me up and I was on fire with quick comments to them.  I had so many people laughing it was great, but I cannot remember all of them. The biggest laugh I got when doing deadlifts I said ''pretend you are mooning the person behind you, that's what ...

I just wanted to send a KUDOS to Les Mills on the job they did on Pump release 60.  I just started teaching this release and I love it and my class loves it.  I even had a request to keep the music until we release BP 66 in mid-September.  Too long to do that, but will keep it longer than I normally do. I am glad I chose to do my ...

That can be one problem. Another common problem is locking your elbows when you press to the top.  Elbows should be ''soft'' at the top of presses (chest or overhead) and triceps.

Is there a tattoo image for BodyVive?  Will there be one?  Where can I find it if it does exist?  We were thinking about incorporating it in with our big launch in September.
