Every little thing about Track 9 is magic! This is the Speed Step Track so lift your knees up and run like an athlete on the sprint track, but watch out for the police and their speed cameras!

If it's possible, reach even higher in Track 10! Rock out with Knee Repeaters and new move the 3 Knee Rocker before working on your leg strength in Track 11 with 1-Legged Squats and the Tree Pose.

BODYATTACK™

BODYATTACK™ 67 is about having fun and finishing the class together as a team! Provide your participants with options so they can work at their own intensity level and feel successful. The release is charged to the limit with high-energy, strong aerobic moves and sports-inspired flavours for you to enjoy and have fun with!

Once you get started you just can't stop! Chris Crew sums it up well with chart-topper Closer in the Warm-up Track. The huge hit Release Me will motivate you to open your mind, release your body and start building your heart rate in Track 2.

Amp it up in Track 3! Turn up the energy and make the moves bigger in four blocks of work. There is a new combo consisting of three Knee Crossovers and two Single Knees. When you're ready, add a turn! You'll finish off this track with 30 seconds of Jumping Jacks to Gimme More.

Surrender to the music and Rock It to your peak in the insanely intense Track 4. Single Lunges, High Knees and Jumping Jacks will push your heart rate through the roof! The options are there if you need them.

Come down to the floor to get some Boom Boom Pow in your shoulders, chest and triceps with Push-ups, before getting ready for the second cardio block. First, be Number 1on the studio floor and then it's off to soccer practice. The class splits into two squads for some agility training and football-inspired moves. You'll feel like a real star on the field! The question is – which team will win?

Get ready – you are now entering the high-energy phase of BODYATTACK™! Take Me To The Clouds Above will inspire you to reach the clouds and take the intensity higher than you have ever been before!

Stay in the zone to push your body through Tuck Jumps, High Knees and Jumping Jacks, while singing along to the cover of The Cranberries' monster hit Zombie, before moving the focus to strength, toning your legs with 1-Legged Squats, Repeaters and Lunges in Track 10.

Get down for some core work with Leg Extensions and Crunches before we say Goodbye.

BODYBALANCE™

BODYBALANCE™ 47 is a strong and graceful release that will take you on an internal journey. But don't let the soft and flowing nature of the class fool you – it's one of the most intense and physical BODYBALANCE™ releases ever created.

Warm up with a series of simple, traditional Tai Chi exercises to classic chill-out Café Del Mar sounds. The exercises are laid out in an evolving progression, making it easy for your class participants to master the moves and feel the Tai Chi experience.

You will be challenged in the Sun Salutations Track. The new innovation is the 3-Legged Dog, shifting to Plank Pose and then sinking into Crocodile Pose. Use the options to make the poses even more challenging, while enjoying Balligomingo's beautiful hit, New World.

Find grace and make the movements feel beautiful in Track 4. There's a gorgeous strength and balance sequence in this track, set to one of the most unusual pieces of music ever used in BODYBALANCE™ – Soul Saviour's For The Windows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti.

The Core – Abdominals Track features very slow, controlled Pilates moves which will put your endurance and abdominal strength to the test. It's tough but hang in there for more Definition!

The uplifting song Show Me What I'm Looking For brings back the Bow Pose and Pilates Swimmer Kicks, building back strength in Track 7. There's also a new pose called the Scorpion, evolving from the 3-Legged Dog. There are options available, either to make the workout more powerful or to take some of the pressure off.

Increase your mobility with the beautiful twisting poses to Beyoncé's Halo, before coming into the Hamstring work to Annie Lennox's stunning rendition of Whiter Shade Of Pale. You'll love the Forward Folds and the Standing Split. Then relax into your own Quiet Place.

BODYCOMBAT™

The Muay Thai-inspired BODYCOMBAT™ 42 transports the class to Bangkok! This release will take you on a Martial Arts journey, from Karate and Tae kwon do to the boxing ring. Fight your way through and hope you've got enough left in the tank for the epic Muay Thai onslaught that is Track 7!

Sing along to Kelly Clarkson's I Do Not Hook Up while warming up with Side, Front and Roundhouse Kicks. Then get ready for Karate and Tae kwon do in a battle of Martial Arts in Track 2!

Find out how fit you really are in Track 3. Boxing is the name of the game in six rounds of interval training. You are in the ring and you don’t stop!

Watch out for the new move in Track 4 – the Sweep will knock your opponent out of the way and work your inner thighs at the same time.

The class splits into two groups for some social interaction, fighting style, before you're whisked away to Brazil. You will be practicing the art of defense and attack in authentic Capoeira to The Prodigy’s Warrior's Dance.

Now, what we've all been waiting for – eight minutes of Muay Thai! This track will transport you to a dark fight club in Thailand and push your heart rate to unknown heights.

It would be a Miracle if you could do the last Power Training Track with the same energy you started with. Your speed and endurance are certainly tested in this track. Stay with the fight and punch your way through the fatigue wall! It’s the only way to get to the other side of it.

Somebody call the Fire Brigade because your abs will be on fire in Track 9! Then relax into a well-deserved Cooldown and stretch to Shinedown's Second Chance.

BODYJAM™

BODYJAM™ 51 is here to drop a funk bomb on the floor in your club! We've got hits from T-Pain and The Ting Tings, the best Gloria Estefan track ever and the hottest House anthems of the year!

Track 1, Scared Of Me from Fedde le Grand, is so funky it should be illegal. The first combo comes back strong in the second half of the class, so feel the correct flava from beat one.

T-Pain's track, Freeze, will take you through the Isolation block. This is about feeling your hips from the beginning. Sing along while you get your class to "dance like me".

Get your Swag Swag on to The Ting Tings’ Shut Up And Let Me Go – one of the hottest tracks from 2008. So what is Swag? Swag is your flava. The style is purely you, and you know you are all over it! Make it oversized and Swagalicious, baby!

The new Tribal Salsa routine is a cosmic concoction of Latin styles. It's going to fire up your floor and push your heart rate through the roof. Drop down and pump your torso in the Tribal Chest. Then turn up the heat to Gloria Estefan's Oye!

Are you ready for the hottest, nastiest Recovery Track ever? Missy Elliott's anthem One Minute Man is Hip Hop 101. Get yo' Bounce Bounce on with the Kick Back Step.

Surrender yourself to the rhythm and Leave The World Behind! This standout anthem of 2009 is so phenomenal that we've included two versions for a full 11½ minutes! Drift, stretch and sway your way through the sickest sounds ever and take your outlook of BODYJAM™ to new heights.

Want more jammers on the floor? Use the two complexity levels to grow your BODYJAM™ class. Teach the low-complexity version for at least three weeks before adding in the advanced options. Get your class comfortable with the release as a whole, then start throwing in the advanced options over the next couple of weeks. Save some of the trickier options for later to keep your advanced class participants on their toes.

BODYPUMP ™

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. Look out for old favourite the Press/Pull-over Combo that will keep your muscles under constant tension.

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. Use the Squats as an active recovery, and then get back into it again! 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, again to put your muscles under constant pressure. 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.

RPM™

RPM™ 45 is all about creating awareness of how to use resistance. Show your class how much resistance to use, how to find it, what it feels like and what the benefits are. Also coach your class to ride fast – find the working load and ride the beat!

Set off on the open road to the uplifting classic Life Is A Highway. The goal of this track is to progressively add resistance, warming up the legs and increasing the heart rate to get ready for the interval training that's coming up.

Your heart rate will pick up in Track 2 with three fast sprints and one small climb. Use this track to find the right working load. Turn the resistance until the legs slow to half pace – this is the working load you need to be able to ride the beat. A good load means that you will work hard and ride with control, which will make you fit faster.

Listen to the lyrics in Track 4! Take a leap of faith and close your eyes when you hit the fast sprints to All On Our Own by New Zealand band Midnight Youth. Don't let go until you cross the finish line!

Power equals force times speed. The more resistance you use, the further distance you are going to travel and the more calories you're going to burn. So switch on to power up! Track 5 is all about razor-sharp attacks. Don't be fooled by the fun nature of The Prodigy's Piranha – this is intense and you will be challenged! Quadruple resistance turns and Standing Attacks will push your heart rate through the roof.

Speed is the focus for Track 6. Gradually increase your leg speed to this iconic RPM™ track – Bruised Water by Chicane featuring Natasha Bedingfield.

Switch from speed to strength in Track 7. Look out for the heavy Power Climbs! This is pure strength training in four short, sharp efforts to heavy rock riffs.

Recover to The Man Who Can't Be Moved from Irish band The Script. Let the heartbeat drop before stretching and lengthening your muscles to Adele's beautiful Chasing Pavements.

BODYVIVE™

BODYVIVE™ 13 has a sporty feel with simple choreography that will make your class get the most out of their workout. Have fun with the new Boxing moves in Track 5 and look out for the new back exercise for great posture in Track 8.

Play That Funky Music and build strong legs with the Squat and Hamstring Curl Combo in Track 2. You'll use your VIVE™ ball to engage the upper body as well. Track 3 is a real classic – Earth, Wind & Fire's September. Have fun with the Disco moves that will lift the intensity to new heights.

Get ready to stride across the room in the empowering Track 4! The anthem No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) will push you through the Squat with VIVE™ ball throw.

Your heart rate will climb even higher with the Boxing theme in Track 5. Activate your abdominals and hit the target with new move the Fighting Knee!

The Tai Chi and Yoga Track has an Electric Feel to it. Use the floating waltz move to recover. Extend and lengthen your body and enjoy the poses, before getting down with the Balance and Leg Strength exercises to Five's If Ya Getting' Down in Track 7.

The combination of one-legged balance work and upper body resistance will really challenge your class to push their limits.

There's a new move in Track 8 – you'll be working your upper-body and back, holding the VIVE™ tube in a different way. Step on the handles and grab the tube with an underhand grip to work on great posture.

Track 9 is all about getting sexy hips! Push through the resistance of the VIVE™ tube to Justin Timberlake's SexyBack.

Lisa Stansfield's classic This Is The Right Time will take you through the Ab Strength Track. Single and Double Leg Extensions are in the house! The options are there if you need them.

Track 11 features Pushups – for the first time ever in a BODYVIVE™ release! Using the VIVE™ ball, you'll work at your own intensity level. The Bow and Arrow using the VIVE™ tube will work your upper back and build a strong posture. Then Release and Restore to the beautiful words of Because You Loved Me.
