Secret - Seal

2011-06-25T16:35:00.000+10:00

I was watching the last (season 7) from Medium, the final season of this wonderful show. Well one of the episodes of the show had the track Secret, I was hearing the lyrics of of the track in the background and throughout the episode, I knew it was Seal, so today I went and bought the CD.

That track would be so cool in any Bodybalance (Original Artist) release.

Wonderful track :)

Sorry, have not been posting on any of the sites since February, my day job took pretty much over my whole life for the past 3 months. I am a training complaince officer, and that is my day job, I have been working in my day job pretty much 7 days a week for the last 3 months.

We survived the audit :)

Lots of stress, but I got there at the end :)

BODYBALANCE® 53 ZIZZLER

2011-06-03T19:52:00.000+10:00

BODYBALANCE® 53 is an internal journey and a big workout with limitless possibilities, reflected in a Tai Chi Warm-up track to Redemption Song, a song of freedom that fills you with energy and takes you into the seamless flow and extension of Sun Salutations. Standing Strength offers perhaps the most challenging track of this release and will have your legs burning by the end. Just focus on your breathing, choose to push calmly through the pain and redirect that energy through your finger tips... it’s an Amazing sensation! While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a gorgeous song for a beautiful languid Balance track that encourages you to gain in confidence, knowing that strong legs and steady eyes will get you through. By then, you will have earned your Hip Stretches, so let your tension dissolve away ... This is the calm before the storm. That tempest arrives in the form of back-to-back Core tracks - the first works the abs and features the Iron Cross, just like a gymnast on the rings. Then, on your tummy, imagine you’re a plane ... and then parachuting from one as you strengthen the butt, back and hamstrings. But Stay with us ... Standing Twists invite you to feel the freedom again and let your light shine. You’re on the home stretch now and soon you’ll have a chance to quieten your mind, body and breath ... to feel your life force once again as you collect your mat and head back into the world.

Taylor Swift - Breathe

2011-02-19T20:19:00.000+10:00

Taylor Swift released a CD called Fearless. On the CD there is a track called Breathe (featuring Colbie Caillat)

I have been playing this track for months now.

It would be a perfect song for a track 1 in Bodybalance/Flow.

Check it out.

BODYBALANCE ® 52 SIZZLER- FIRST LOOK

2011-02-07T19:14:00.001+10:00

This is the very first look at trhe sizzler for BODYBALANCE® 52

Invite your class to take some time out of their busy days and find a tranquil place in BODYBALANCE® 52. Your Tai Chi Warmup is more energetic and powerful than usual. Taking you into a new sequence of moves sees you paying homage to the Daylight in Sun Salutations, before joyfully opening up your heart to Give Love through Standing Strength. You’ll need to trust yourself during an intense Balance routine. Feel the elegance and extravagance... if your legs are shaking, they’re doing a great job! Pretty soon, you’re heading into an abs track billed as the most challenging in the history of the program, which is saying something, starting with a Pilates Roll Up for mobility and core strength. If that isn’t enough, you’ll soon make the acquaintance of Lola, a move that will severely test your pelvic strength and stability... and have you celebrating with joy when you finally nail it! If you’re happy, why not tell your face. Stretch out those tummy muscles by switching attention to your back, then release with some liberating Twists. Forward Bends start slowly in Gorilla Pose, but build dramatically to an enormous climax and finish beautifully with the Arm Circles you first tried in the Warmup. As the workout winds down, you can take this opportunity to be at your most expressive. But before returning to your real lives, make sure to thank your bodies for allowing you to relax a while and make a promise to yourself to return this way soon.

QUEENSLAND FLOODS JANUARY 2011

2011-01-11T16:05:00.001+10:00

Some of you may not know this but this blogger originates from Brisbane Queensland Australia. We are in the midst of our worst flood since 1974. There has been a number of deaths and 66 people missing. It is a tragedy that I last saw in 1974. I thought that I would never see this again in my lifetime. This is worse than 1974 we now have a massive wall of water around Queensland. It is the size of Germany and France in area effected.

My thoughts go to the people effected in this flood.

Would love to see this track in a PPCA version of Bodybalance.

10 Years

2010-12-27T22:09:00.001+10:00

It has been 10 years since the release of the tracklists. I released all my tracklists December 2001. Up till then they were on my computer and that is where they stayed. Mid October 2001 I decided to launch my tracklists on the old domain I used to post to.

Thanking everyone for their support and looking forward to the next 10 years.

BODYBALANCE® 51 SIZZLER

2010-11-12T19:50:00.000+10:00

Beautiful smooth,fluid movements are the signature of this 51st release form BODYBALANCE®. The transition between moves is almost a important as the poses themselves - you're working but it should all feel very relaxed.

The Tai Chi Warm-Up in Track 1 gets things flowing with the aptly-named song Breathe leading you through some lovely big circling sweeps of the arms and body to warm you up slowly.

We move into Yoga with Gorecki and the songs slow build provides the perfect backdrop for Sun Salutations immerse yourself into your breath as you rise with the swell of the song though each inhalation and exhalation.

Enjoy a change of scenery with the cute love song I'm Yours in the Balance Track. Be prepared for a few wobbles in this one when you first start out. The travel to New York where Empire State of Mind urges you on through those slow deepening lunges.

Track 6 and 7 provide some contrast to the drama of the songs around them and will really give you core abdominals and back a great workout Then celebrate with Twists in Track 8, set to the 2010 FIFA World Cup theme song - Sign Of A Victory. No vuvuzelas here please.

Hamstrings time and we welcome back the Dolphin Pose, which provides a deep big stretch for your shoulders and legs as you push your body back. Then lie back and indulge in some well earned Relaxation and Meditation.

Super8 & Tab feat. Alyna - Perfect Day

BODYBALANCE® 50 PPCA FREE - REVIEW

2010-10-14T19:06:00.000+10:00

This release marks the 50th release of Bodybalance/Flow/Healing. As everyone knows we have the PPCA Free version of Bodybalance here. The review is based on this release.

Well were do I start a massive release. This is the kickoff of the 50's series of Bodybalance. At the workshop I came in late and did not to do the preview section, where they went through the new moves. So, I was fresh and had no idea of the moves or the chore for the release.

Track One - Soldier of Love, a very cool and funky start to the class, the return of the swing and wrap from previous releases. It is not hard to learn, love the flowing blocks in this track. The breath forward sequence is breathtaking, I have the original "Sade" CD with this track on. Ours feels more soulful and was a wonderful intro to this class.

Track Two - Won't Give Up, a classic sun salutation sequence. It is a long sun salutation sequence this time. Reminds me in bits of earlier sun salutations. The moves in this track are very fluid and seamless. The sequences encourage, more rythmic breathing and sinking into the poses. There is nothing new in this one, it still feels new and fresh.

Track three - Breakeven, WOW in one word. Harder than you may think. My hips (well if I had them) felt this track. Love the Extended Warriors and the new Lateral Move. For a track about 6 minutes in total it left an lasting impact on me. Love the music and love the cover artist version of this track.

Track four - I See You, is one of the hardest track four's in a long time. The transition in the poses requires great concentration. By the end of the track I was dripping water all over the place. Love the return of the star pose. Overall a wonderful sequence of poses. Just love the flow of this track.

Track five - Wanted - Ujjay Breathing come to this release. There is allot of softness in this track. The breathing cycles stand out for me in this release. Kind of reminds me of Kiss Me from a few releases back. Both are short tracks and leave a memorable mark. The end in star sequence, is breathless.

Track six - Sweet and Amazing, comes to Bodybalance part of the track remind me of track 6 Ain't Nobody - Kelly Price from Bodybalance 23. There is the same sequence in this track. My abs were screaming by the end of this track.

Track seven - Hey Soul Sister, it is a massive back track a short track with allot of sting in it. Parts of Music Matters - Faithless feat Cass Fox from Bodybalance 38 in parts. A funky track lots of loctus poses and leg work. It is exactly what I love about this track and outstanding.

Track eight - Please Don't Stop the Rain - nothing new here lots of familiar yoga poses. In saying this I don't this distracts from the track and it's objectives. Love the intense poses, and the ending set of poses.

Track nine (a) - Vanilla Twilight, to me this is the highlight of this release along with track nine (b) we don't get to often a standing track 9 this is very welcome, love the triangle poses. This track and the poses are breathtaking.

Track nine (b) - Here I Confess, as with the above is the highlight of this release. Love the new pose in this track. I thought when doing it originally how in the world am I going to do this? Well it is broken down into a set of wonderfully strung together poses. The track is simply outstanding the poses, what more can I say. I love this track.

Track ten - A Hundred Thousand Angles - What a wonderful ending to the class. Reminds me of the early days of Bodybalance, say from releases 8 - 10 meditation and relaxation.

Track - Tally's Lullaby bring out the release and connects to the start of the release. Love this track and reminds me of the journey from track 1 to now.

Overall, an out standing release. Loved every moment of this release. The best is yet to come in the 50's series of Bodybalance. If this is the gauge of what is to come bring on Bodybalance release 51.

The PPCA Free version is an awesome release.

BODYBALANCE® 50 PPCA FREE

2010-09-07T19:59:00.001+10:00

Last weekend we had the workshop for Bodybalance 50. I will write a review of this massive release celbrating the 50th release of this wonderful program.

I love the music to this release. The PPCA cover versions of the music is 100% outstanding and I am loving the PPCA free versions of Bodybalance.

Hopefully one day the rest of the world would get to hear and do a PPCA Free version of Bodybalance 50.

I will write a review of this release early next week.

Enjoy Bodybalance 50 :)

BODYBALANCE® 49 REVIEW

2010-08-18T15:42:00.005+10:00

Track 1

Extraordinary Ways - Conjure One

Track 1 begins the class with a massive sweeping track. Jackie has incorporated new moves into this track and a return of the archer pose from previous releases. There are massive arms swings in this track. The arm swings are hard for new people to do. to fully let loose and experience the pose for someone new is hard. There is a wonderful new pose in this track. Dr Dave does this track on the DVD for this release. It is a duo release with Jackie Mills and Dave McKenzie presenting.

Track 2

Send Me An Angel - Sleepthief feat Kristy Thirsk

Wonderful track, 4 sets of sun salutations in this release. This track is the highlight of the release. The track reminds me in parts of 14,15 and Bodybalance 16 in parts. Dramatic moves and flowing choreography.

Track3

Live Like We're Dying - Kris Allen

This track is a fast track 3. There are two parts to the track. I got lost in the music with this track and pretty much the choreography is a blur. The track is a legs standing strength track. Tons of wide leg moments, which means lots of quad work and going deeper in the pose each week. I love this track.

Track4

To Love Again - I'Image

This to me is one of two show case songs from the release. To me this is the best track 4 in the 40's series of Bodybalance. It is a short track where you immerse yourself into the Eagle Poses and the balance sequence of the track. Love the poses not complicated to learn which allows me to immerse myself into the track and enjoy the music and emotion of the track. Loved this track and hope to hear more or l'Image in the future releases of Bodybalance.

Track 5

Fireflies - Original Fire

Loved the cover version of this track. More so that the one by the original singers. The cover versions we have are I feel better than the originals. We have the return of firefly pose. I thought great like Crusin from Bodybalance 13. It is a slightly different in this release. We go into several fast poses in this release. There are a few modified poses in this release. We end the track with an awesome new pose. It is a fast track in parts the track fits well with Track 4 and 5 make an awesome combination.

Track 6

Don't Mean Anything - Alicia Keys

This is a hard track tons of side poses hitting the obliques and the stability work. Then we have an awesome abdominal stabilizer sequence in this release. The release also works the transverse abdominus at the end of the track. Loved the joining of the poses from side ab work to working the transverse muscles. Nice work Jackie on this track.

Track 7

Just Say Yes - The Cranials

Track 7 is a hard back track in parts. For those who love challenges in a back track this is one of those releases. There are three athletic sections in the release. There are two challenging poses in this track. I managed to do the back bend pose :) that has been a real bug bear of mine for years.

Track 8

Happy - Leona Lewis

A short track one of the shortest track 8's I can honestly remember. However, being short does not make it less harder to get into each twist pose. Love the last 1/2 of this track. I love intense pose.

Track 9

White Flag - Pisolet

Wow (This is now my all time favorite track ever in Bodybalance)

Loved every single part of this track. Tons of wide leg poses, and lots of hamstring work. Loved the beginning of this track. Jackie intro's a new pose into this track. I can honestly say this track is awesome. The poses in this track flow perfectly. Awesome work Jackie.

Meditiation - Gift of Light - Nadama - Shastro

A shorter meditation track. This is now my favorite meditation track in the 40's series of Bodybalance. The PPCA Free version I feel is better than the original in Bodybalance 50 PPCA.

Presented by: Dr Jackie Mills and Dr David McKenzie

Choreographed by: Dr Jackie Mills and Diana Mills

May 2010 2nd Quarter

PPCA Free Version of this Release:

By now the world know we have a 100% cover version of this release. My review is on the PPCA free version of this release. The main reason is that we now have two versions of the release and all I can review is the PPCA Free releases from now on. We won't get to hear the originals anymore I welcome anyone who want to review the PPCA version of this release.

I must admit I love the PPCA Free version of Bodybalance 49. We have the original release here and I guess I don't miss the original at all. I was surprised about that.

If you get to Australia, ask to have a class with the PPCA Free version of this release. You won't regret it all all.

In two weeks we will have Bodybalance 50. Looking forward to this release and begins the 50's series of this epic program we call Bodybalance/Bodyflow.

The epic journey continues!

REVIEW OF BODYBALANCE 49

2010-08-15T18:53:00.003+10:00

I am posting back here after a long absence. It has been a long time since I have played attention to this site and I guess with work and also a hectic life I have not been able to post here. This week I am writing a review of Bodybalance 49.

This has been a remarkable release not only our first release which is PPCA free and 100% cover versions of the tracks in this release.

Track 9 is White Flag is now my favorite track 9 ever in Bodybalance. It is a wonderful song and an awesome remake of the massive hit by Dido.

Dido is now recording her 4th CD as we speak.

Now I have to put pen to paper and write a review of now my all time favorite release ever. The PPCA free release of Bodybalance 49!

SIZZLER BODYBALANCE 50 - BODYBLANCE TURNS 50 RELEASES!

2010-08-15T18:43:00.000+10:00

BODYBALANCE® is turning 50 and it's never been better with a sublime blend of music and choreography that takes you deep into the Yoga experience.

Sade warms things up in Track 1 as we ease through a series of simple moves to the deep tribal feel of Soldier Of Love. Standing Strength will have you stretching to new limits with a reworked expression of the Warrior 1 stretch – the Lateral Bend. Fortunately, old favorites The Script are on hand to help make anything seem possible with their track Breakeven. We're joining the stars of "Avatar" for Track 4 and it's not just Leona Lewis' uplifting song I See You that's courtesy of the award-winning movie.

Jackie Mills has also played with the themes, and references the story of the Navi in the choreography. Track 4 introduces Ujjayi Breathing which is new to BODYBALANCE® but a fundamental practice in Yoga. Imagine your throat narrowing as you use the technique to release stress and calm your body. The two Core Tracks get straight to the point and are focused on what they do best – working the abdominals and back – before Please Don't Stop The Rain leads us into a Down Dog Twist in Track 8. This is an advanced move but give it a try. The feeling you get when you master this is incredible – you're grounded on one arm and get a beautiful twist through the spine.

There's plenty of drama in the Forward Bends – with a dramatic move to match – and then the emotion of The Bliss' track, 100 Thousand Dancers, provides the perfect bridge into the final Relaxation.

PPCA - Free Bodybalance 49

2010-06-01T13:26:00.000+10:00

About 4 weeks we got Bodybalance 49. I just listened to the PPCA Version of Bodybalance 49, and it will take time to get used to not having original artists on the releases.

This is an interesting time in transition.

I feel like someone has ripped my heart out and threw it on the pavement.

I am still in shock that we will never have original artists ever in Bodybalance anymore. That we are now going to have PPCA versions of the music. I adore Conjure One, Sleeptheif and Leona Lewis. To have them in a Bodybalance class anymore is not cool.

I love this program and will be with it to the day I die. I am trying to now come to terms that we will never have original music in the releases.

Thankfully we have 49 releases of this wonderful program to draw from.

You will love the new artists and the new versions of the music in Bodybalance 49 and believe that Bodybalance can survive and will survive.

Long live Bodybalance :)

Peace to all :)

BODYBALANCE® 49 - First Look

2010-05-08T19:35:00.000+10:00

Hi I don't know if anyone is reading here like before.

This release is the final of the 40's series of BODYBALANCE® I cannot believe that the 50's are just around the corner.

This release begins and ends with two of my favorite songs. This release has allot going on in the release that in previous releases. I do believe that this release is more truer to when I came into Bodybalance it feels and moves like those releases. This release comes from two counter points that are what I think is what Bodybalance is all about simplicity and getting a pose right and thinking about the pose. I feel that this is the core of a good class. There are moments in this release that are reflective and also allow room enough to move into a calmness of movement. This release to me allows the participant to not only explore the move, to understand the movement and to connect to the movement over a longer period. No more so than the last track (track 9) it is a remake of an original track we had back in the 20's series of Bodybalance. An awesome remake of this classic Bodybalance release track 9 is phenomenal.

This release is going melt your heart and allow you to experience what I think is the best release of the 40's series of Bodybalance.

You are going to love this release.

Congratulations to Jackie and also Dr Dave you make this all seem so real and I am truly blessed to be able to apart of what you bring me and allow me to experience.

Extreme love and joy to everyone :)

Graduation Day Today Masters of Education!

2010-04-24T18:25:00.002+10:00

I have been up at Toowoomba for the last few days. Today I graduated with a Masters of Online Education. There was over 600 or so graduates there today from the Faculty of Education receiving their Doctorates, Masters, Bachelor Degrees.

I now have a sense future for the education and training of Australians with the wealth of passionate people talking about the craft of education and training.

It was a honor to accept my Masters from the Chancellor of the University and to partake in the graduation march out of the building. I now look at my Masters and I am in total shock. I cannot believe that it is real and that I finally have it.

I have made another decision to go for a Dr of Education later in 2010. I also made another decision to commence a Graduate Diploma of Management in the mean time.

To everyone out there peruse your educational goals and live your dreams :)

BODYBALANCE® 49 SIZZLER

2010-04-02T08:21:00.001+10:00

This release comes to you from the heart. You will feel light and uplifted as you journey through song after song filled with beautiful lyrics.

Conjure One's Extraordinary Ways sets the mood in the Tai Chi Warmup. Feel the energy of this wonderful music during the Arm Swings and Archer movements before coming into calmness for the Arm Circles.

The fun continues in Track 3's Live Like We're Dying. Lose yourself in the feeling as you work through these Standing Strength moves and work on bringing life and vitality to every pose.

Play with chart-topping Fireflies in Track 5 and look out for two fun new moves. This song was the most downloaded song on iTunes in the USA when it was released.

Work confidently and Just Say Yes to the emotion of Track 7 and move towards the optional Back Bend. We finish with a chilled-out remake of White Flag and a Pyramid Pose.

Surrender and enjoy.

Bodybalance 48 - Track 5

2010-02-20T20:04:00.000+10:00

Briefly, track 5 from Bodyblance 48 is the most moving track you will ever hear. It stands in line with Gabriel from Bodybalance 18 by Lamb.

That song has a place in my heart.

Through salvation one is alive and has a right to pass on in their way and according to their own terms and have that respected.

Peace and love to all!

Bodybalance 48

2010-02-20T16:31:00.001+10:00

You are going to love Bodybalance 48. Track 1 begins a magical journey. You will love this release. I will see if I can review it sometime this week. I can't believe that Bodybalance 49 is coming our way soon and then Bodybalance 50 is releases.

Wow!

It seems like only yesterday Bodybalance 13 in 2001 and the phenomenal Bodybalance 18 :)

Les Mills Forums

2010-02-07T11:23:00.004+10:00

There seems to be some sort of negativity on their forums.

I really don't understand what has happened to their forums? I think that there are bigger issues in the world than the negativity on their forum. I have learned in the last 2 years that it is only a forum where people place their thoughts and that there are a range of view-points going on there.

There are a number of people who think the forum needs moderation. They decided to allow it to self moderate meaning they thought that as adults they would act responsible and post correctly. Now comes the issue of a forum out of control. There seems to be a main point here that the forum can work un-moderated. The issue is that people are over 18+ there posting it would assume that they can act responsible and post as adults.

The other issue is that there is a wider audience going there and that seems to be the crux of another issue that this part of their site is viewed by the wider community in particular under 18 are going to the forum to read the forums.

The whole forum issue also comes with a certain amount of freedom to say what you want to say. To have what is said respected. To be able to write in a forum and simply leave the forum and come back to see what replies have been made. It is a as simple as that. Respect the rights of other view points and not to ride over people and try to embarrassed them or others in any reply back. To some extent this is the central issue of posting in a forum. You are not going to agree with everyone, some people have different view-points, others are going to disagree with what you say.

I have also learned via my studies over the past 2-years that I need to step back and listen to what others have to say. To simply say occasionally I am wrong, or have information that can be changed via an open exchange of ideas. Through doing this I have changed the way I think about certain teaching thoughts I have had in the past. I now have new ideas, and changed the way I now think about teaching. I now have new approaches to what I do now as trainer and assessor. That is the great thing about a well run forum you can learn from others and don't take it personally that you don't know the full picture. I have learned new ideas from the lecturers teaching me and fellow class mates in our on line learning environment.

To me this is learning and I am not afraid to say please expand my knowledge and help me learn new ideas.

On a personal note I loved posting in the forums originally. I don't now. I have read allot of bad things there over the past 9 months. As they are nor serving the best business interests of LMI. They are doing the exact opposite. I suspect that RF and BTS USA are delighting themselves in what is going on there. It can only serve to increase their product range of products at the detriment of the current situation in their corporate forums.

Which currently are rather embarrassing to Les Mills International where members (participants and instructors) are not representing LMI to their best business interest.

IMO!

Where to Start?

It has been a very hectic two years during that time I embarked on a new learning journey. I started my Masters and it has been pretty much that since 2008. I have completed my last assignment and been told that I will get my Masters. I have learned allot in the past 2 years.

What I have learned is that education is an important thing to have. It is what makes your future and destiny. It allows you to dare dream of a better life and to better oneself.

I encourage anyone out there to get a University education. To reach for your dreams and dare go beyond what you can think you are capable of. I also encourage everyone to get their Masters and one day to dream the ultimate dream to get their Doctorate.

I am so very happy to have reached my dream and have the courage to get my Masters in Education.

Have a wonderful 2010 everyone :)

Happy New Year for 2010

2010-01-01T06:05:00.002+10:00

Happy new year to all may 2010 be the year you want it to be :)

BODYBALANCE® 48 FIRST LOOK AT THE SIZZLER!

2009-12-23T19:36:00.000+10:00

BODYBALANCE® 48 is a journey towards peace. This release will lead you from an epic battle of Ben-Hur, through protest and reflection, and finally into deep understanding and awareness of your body and the world around you.

We’ll begin with sword-dance inspired by the Love Theme From Ben – Hur, and then sink more deeply into our breath than we’ve ever gone before in the Sun Salutations Track.

The Balance Track feels like a massive hug – you’ll understand once you experience this track. You’ll understand once you experience this track. You’ll then expand your hip horizons with the 3-Legged Down Dog with open hip track 5.

Find your beet in the Core – Abdominal Track. Heres your chance to break out of the BODYBALANCE ® mould and beat your protesting drums on the floor. We are One Tribe!

Begin to wind down into calm to the emotional Before the Worst. Then fall even further with Kelly Clarkson Already Gone, before experiencing the phenomenal beauty of our remake of Moby’s Study War.

The meditation is Wildflowers, asks for true reflection on the joy already present in our lives – the perfect not on which to end the class
.

Bodybalance 47 First Look My Viewpoint

2009-11-13T20:00:00.000+10:00

This is the final release of 2009. I come to this release mentally exhausted and emotionally wasted. Due to personal things going on in my life. It has been a really reflective month and I now know how saying you love someone is very important.

This release is now my favorite from the 40's series of Bodybalance. It is my favorite release of 2009. Mainly for the fact that every track takes me back to the teens, and twenties of mid section of Bodybalance. What I love about this release is the music and more important the flow of the moves from one track to the other.

Here we go:

Track 1 is a beautifully flowing track it is a happy and joyful intro to the class. There are 5 set moves in the track they flow really in synchronization from one pose to the next which sets the pace of this release. Jackie does a wonderful job introducing us to this release.

Track 2 by a group I have featured here a long time ago.I love their music. There are 6 blocks in the sun salutation they flow in perfect unison. There is a natural flow in the music and it just moves into your head and stay there. The music and symbols synchronizes the music to the moves. When you hear the cues and match them then you are in perfect flow with the music and yoga poses.

Track 3 from this release has many challenges the most challenging is the second sequence. Just trust yourself and know your mental toughness and you will be amazed what is possible and what you can do. It is a fast track transitions are the main focus in this release.

Track 4 Is the best track 4 from the 40's releases for me I don't know why? It just relates to me and I guess where I am currently in my space I love this track. There are a set of poses that are bought together in synchronization. As I said I love this track and it beings a softness to my heart when going through it.

Track 5 A very tough track 5 not saying much about this track. However,. the poses are tough and require good yoga base to work from. You simply melt into each pose.

Track 6 brings back allot of floor work it is a set up track. Reminds me of Foolish by Ashanti.

Track 7 the big track from this release. Not saying much till everyone has done this release. It is a cool track :)

Track 8 Short and sweet lots of twisting variations in this track. Nothing complicated by well worth exploring options.

Track 9 Brings back something from the past and something new Annie Lennox closes the class to a classic 70's song. It is a body position - set up and correcting track. The ending is simply wonderful.

Overall this is the best release for 2009 to me and the best for the 40's series of Bodybalance. I may come to this release emotionally drained and that I think makes it an awesome release. It lifted me out of a space I was in and brings a happiness to my life.

Awesome work by Dr Jackie Mills and well 2010 is coming soon and Bodybalance 48 and 49 next year. It has been a awesome 2009 for Bodybalance. Bring on 2010 ;) and the 50's series of Bodybalance.

Cheers all :)

You are all going to love this pose. You really are won't say much for those who have not done the release. But will do a deep article here in a few weeks when everyone has done this release.

Stay strong and be committed to this pose and you will feel a sense of achievement. :)

First Look Bodybalance 47

2009-11-08T19:24:00.002+10:00

Bodybalance 47 came my way this weekend. You are going to love this release. To me this is a highlight release of 2009.

I am going through he release tonight, it looks a really excellent release to me the standout track would be 1 and 5 so far.

There are a number of long held poses in this release. Some inovation in tracks 2 and 7. Love the Scorpion Pose in track 7 and also the return of a pose from the early 20's of Bodybalance. They say its is a new move but us old skool remember it from way back then. There is some variations in this release and a few suprises. I won't say much about that.

I will do a review of Bodybalance 47 when it all sinks in.

For those who have not done this release be prepared for a tough class, strong poses and an awesome track 1 :)

You will love this release. :)

Denied the Right to Post

2009-10-14T20:20:00.002+10:00

Up until Monday this week I was posting on the main Les Mills Forums. I was a member of that forum since February 2007. I enjoyed posting there and really liked answering peoples questions and getting involved in the general chats on the site.

Now it is impossible for me to post there because I feel un-welcome there. I feel as If I was to post there then it may end up not so cool. The thing is I just wanted to post there and talk to others who have my passion for Bodypump and also Bodybalance. Thats it and thats whaI I wanted to do.

To go to a forum that has been apart of my life since 2007 and it has been a daily visit there to not being able to go there and post is not cool. Because I have no idea who is going to enter the thread and what they are going to say to me there. I have no control of what people write in each thread there and choose not be a part of a thread where I have no idea where and who is going to take it in another direction. So to avoid that I cannot post there :(

From now I will never be able to post there.

Rather sad to say the least.

NOVEMBER LAST 1/4 2009

Don’t let the soft and flowing nature of BODYBALANCE® 47 fool you – this is one of the most challenging releases ever created. Warm up with a series of simple, traditional Tai Chi exercises.

The new innovation is the 3-Legged Dog, shifting to Plank Pose and then sinking into Crocodile Pose. 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. 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. 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..

Bodybalance 46 Review

2009-09-11T18:41:00.004+10:00

Hi Everyone,

Been a-while since I have posted here. I am in the home straight of getting my Masters of On Line Education. That is a dream for me to get 5 more assignments to go and there you go a Masters :) expect to finish January 30th 2010.

Then a voice inside says Dr of Education and where there is a voice you have to listen to sometimes :)

Bodybalance 46 came my way on the 8th August 2009. This is a wonder full release.

The track lists are here for this release this is an epic release.

Track one (Delerium) - Lost & Found

Strong athletic moves 7 short sequenced poses. Blocks are back in this track strong martial arts feel to the release. You will love this track very sensual in parts.

Track 2 (Delerium) - Serenity

The longest sun-salutation ever to me. Two part sun salutations. There is a surprise in this track. Must remember to breathe :) when you get into the flow of this track it is simple to follow, you need to remember the sequences. Have fun with this track.

Track 3 (Yellow Hue) - Magnificent

Another long track, complicated in parts, requires concentration on all levels and there is a sequence in the release where you feel it in the legs towards the end, stay strong :)

Track 4 (Amanda Myers) - Shine

One of the shortest track 4's I can ever remember. Easy transitions in movement. Tons of options and a few dance based poses in the release. There is a magical sequence at the end of the the song.

Track 5 (Annie Lennox) - Why

Wow is the word a few moves and long sequences. Love this track and now one of my favorite track 5's now. Just melt into each pose and drift into the track. Awesome track Dr Jackie Mills.

Track 6 (Jennifer Hudson) - Spotlight

A fun track 4 major moves and lots of Pilate's in this ab track. What I have noticed is breath is important in this track. There is a return of a old pose here. If you remember My Culture then this is all I can say :)

Track 7 (Broken Strings) - Mike Stone

Strong athletic track two new poses won't say much more :) love the beginning and the end ouch :)

Track 8 (Changes) - Will Young

All I can say awesome :) love the return of Power Yoga to Bodybalance.

Track 9 (Run) - Leona Lewis

This is my all time favorite track 9 ever. Truly a wonderful track, very moving tons of inversions and love the ending.

The meditation track restful - wanting more of it :)

It is one of the best Bodybalance experiences one can have a big 10/10 from me to Jackie and Diana Mills :)

Awesome now waiting for Bodybalance 47 :)

Bodybalance 46 - Leona Lewis - Run

2009-08-10T19:55:00.003+10:00

Bodybalance 46 came my way last weekend.

You are going to love this release. Track 9 is one of the most moving tracks I have ever experienced in the last 9-years of Bodybalance.

I will write a full re-view this week.

This Bodybalance is one of the best ever.

Congratulations to Jackie and the team for such a wonderful release. I don't know how they are going to top this release :)

Back to Posting Here Bodybalance 45

2009-06-08T09:53:00.004+10:00

Its ironic that people post on forums and think they know you. They can say what they like and no one censors what is said and pretty much anything goes.

So from now on I will be posting here and totally ignoring what is going on there.

Gets pretty much when you come to a forum and post and have to defend oneself each time I post there.

Much debate on Bodybalance 45 and Ava Maria by Beyonce Knowles.

It is an awesome track it is part B to You Make it Real by James Morison. Both tracks compliment each other.

Tracks 8 and 9 link so well together.

Track 8 Ava Maria is wonderful track :)

Sorry for being absent

2009-04-16T12:17:00.002+10:00

Hi,

I am sorry that the blog has not been updated.

I will update the tracklists and this blogger this weekend.

Once again sorry.

New Format for choreography notes - issues!

2009-03-07T15:09:00.005+10:00

New format to the notes (seen at least 5 of these in my time) the latest one is hard to follow. There is a gap where they describe the next movement. Then they recommence the notes. This makes it harder to learn. The counts need to be next to the sequence. They are all over the place makes i harder to learn.

To the point I have to translate them back to where everything is in close prox to each other.

Another concern, where I am from we have CEC's we need to have 18 for re-registration every 2 years it is a requirement for registration. In the past versions of the notes we had a detailed written component which tells us about the poses and in-depth analysis of the poses. Based on this we have examinations, well they have gone, I have no idea why? We need them there so that we can do the examinations and understand the releases from a teaching perspective.

I am for progress, but they need to consult the end user of the notes to gauge reaction to the new format. Based on that rectification yes. They need working on.

MVP!

Time for a slower Bodybalance.

2009-03-07T15:05:00.003+10:00

Recently, Bodybalance has got a bit hard core, not that I am complaining I love it. I would like to see a Bodybalance that is understated - softer music - slower yoga poses and a deep connection to pose to music.

Take "No Ordinary Love" by Sade that track would make an awesome abs track. It is slower, longer track perfect count for longer poses - planks - greyhound pose - side planks - ballet abs with longer poses (32/64) count poses.

Comments?

The Music from One Tree Hill

2009-03-07T14:59:00.002+10:00

Recently I have been watching One Tree Hill on DVD/TV watched all episodes from season 1 - 3 now waiting for season 4 on then 5 (allready released)

What really captures me is the music from One Tree how it would be perfect for Bodybalance.

I spent a-whole weekend watching seasons 1 - 3 in one block.

I hope Lucas and Peyton come together :)

Chris Brown in Bodybalance the debate continues!

2009-02-24T20:51:00.002+10:00

Over the Les Mills forums a debate is going on over the use of Chris Brown and his music.

There is due process regarding Chris and what he did or did not do. The current climate says that he did what he has done. The courts will eventually sort this out.

Allot of emotional language is being used. People are making decisions and choices based on their choices to use his music or not to. The music is a side issue.

Two people were in a relationship - on a night of the Grammy awards situations and incidents happened. The courts will come into play and sort this out.

In the time scape between the incident and the court case. Hard choices are being made. People are drawing up lines in the sand. The I will continue and the I won't continue lines are established.

People make choices for their classes - they will of course canvas the view points of their members attending their classes. They will make choices based on that feedback.

The people in the class will say what they want to hear in the class or not. Opening the debate to the class is the only way I see out of this. If they decide that he should occupy slot no 7 in the class then they have spoken.

I wish someone from Les Mills comes into the thread and say something about the use of Chris and his music.

The debate rages and continues on.

DVD for BODYBALANCE 44

2009-02-07T19:49:00.002+10:00

Watching the DVD tonight :)

BODYBALANCE® 44

2009-02-07T19:07:00.004+10:00

Today Bodybalance 44 came :) it was our 1/4 here :) it is such a cool release. It is a very athletic release. Track 1 and 2 are from previous releases. Track 2 has a different choreography from release 9 which was over 9 years ago loved that version of track 2. In release 24 it is choreographed different, and in this release it is different the same. I like this version but I love the version in Bodybalance 9.

Track 3 is a long track settle in for some serious standing strength work. You work both sides of the body with deep poses. I was pretty much spent by the end of this track dripping all over the yoga mat :) that makes me very serious about Bodybalance and Yoga. I left the mat in the same position.

Track 4 is not complicated to learn, working both sides of the body. There is allot of courage in getting into each pose and position.

Track 5 is a short track, you work both sides of the body. I used an optioned hip opener that I was using for along time. That option is coming up in Bodybalance 45 in May 2009. That is a bit of gossip :)

Track 6 is a hard core abs track again short but effective and brings back allot of old moves.

Track 7 has some old school - there is a new move in the release won't say what it is.

Track 8 lots of twist options - 4 phases and easy to learn. It goes back to core twists which is so refreshing to see - no complications.

Track 9 simple and easy right, not :) it is an awesome track 9 effective.

Track 10 is cool lots of time to relax.

This is a great release. An awesome release a great beginning to Bodybalance for 2009 :)

I am officially old school :)

I like it :) being old school that is :)

BODYBALANCE® 43 SIZZLER

2008-09-21T17:23:00.001+10:00

The Tai Chi Track has only two moves, allowing us to sink deeply into our breathing, and immerse ourselves in the simplicity of Coldplay's Lost.

Transiting through the playfulness of the Sun Salutations to Standing Strength, the focus shifts to power, culminating in the challenging Bent Knee Floating Half Moon Pose accompanied by the uplifting Mary J Blighe song, Come to Me.

Prepare for drama. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' Soft Rock hit, Your Guardian Angel soars through the Balance Track. This unites with the Angel Sequence to challenge and uplift us.

Invite members to extend into the intense Quad/Abductor Stretch, increasing hip mobility and potentially improving knee alignment, before releasing into a delicious, extended Happy Baby Pose, which does magic for the hips.

Plenty of options are needed in the wickedly tough Core Tracks, overflowing with kooky innovations like Commando Crawls and Plank Pose Pullbacks. Warning – these moves will transform your body!

Sheryl Crow's Always On Your Side is back by popular demand, this time in a duet with Sting, to gently twist us free and begin the glorious descent into Forward Folds and Meditation.

BODYBALANCE® 42 BRIEF REVIEW

2008-08-19T20:00:00.002+10:00

This is an awesome release now my 2ND favorite release of all time :) it is just so very cool I can't believe that every track has a nice / calm effect.

The standout tracks to me are 1 with the return of an awesome warrior pose. :) I also love love love love track 2 so very very very cool :) it is a very different sun salutation awesome music from sleeptheif who is in myspace and if you search this blog for Jody Quine I reviewed her way back in 2006, so have a look for that here and mentioned sleeptheif as well.

Track 3 is less complicated so very well structured you get deep into each pose and really work at technique and the pose. Half the battle is trying to remain strong and focused :)

Track 4 comes to us from Seal so very very cool as above Jackie has bought the poses to the forefront of the track and you can feel it in very sense.

Track 5 Awesome set of longer held poses which I really love about this release. Some of the releases are fast moving and you don't have time to work on the poses. This time in track 5 you can do that :) thank you Jackie for that.

Track 6 Towards the end there is a set of tricky poses :) just love it. :)

Track 7 is from one of my all time favourite movies :) we have a new set of challenges in this track "more challenging that in Bodypump 29 track 7 "Live - Heaven" just love this song and what Jackie has done.

Track 8 As said less complicated which is a very cool thing :) longer held poses and and awesome ending to the track.

Track 9 brings back "Conjure One" the best 6.51 minutes you will ever spend in any Bodybalance class. Love the ending of this track.

Tracks 10 and 11 sees the return of "Deuter" which is so very very cool.

Overall this is one of the best releases in the 40's series of Bodybalance. In was told that Bodybalance 43 is going to take us to places we thought never possible :)

I will do a track by track review when I place the track lists on the site this weekend :)

This release is awesome and so very very very cool :)

BODYBALANCE 42® SIZZLER (NEW RELEASE!)

2008-07-06T12:50:00.001+10:00

Welcome to BODYBALANCE™ 42. This class has a wonderful flowing quality and comes together as a complete package that's greater than the sum of its parts. You'll love getting lost in the beautiful music and the huge variety of moves and poses. They provide a challenging workout for the body and soothing, liberating therapy for the mind and spirit.

Moya Brennan's fabulous love theme from the movie The Last Of The Mohicans opens the class, creating a T'ai Chi Warmup that's perfect for bringing you out of your day and into your body.

The Shiva Salutation in the Sun Salutations is an expansive, warming experience where you are fully immersed in breath and movement, and you'll find new alignment in your poses in our Standing Strength Track, performed to a gutsy, lyrical song from the Sugababes' new album. Setting a strong foundation is the key to the challenging, but really rewarding, Balance Track, and a smooth sensual song from Delerium helps you surrender into the Hip Openers.

A highlight comes with the Forward Bends. You'll love the song Sleep from Conjure One, and the flow of the moves. BODYBALANCE™ 42 takes the program to a new space with something for everyone.

So get ready for something special!

Michael J Mc Sweeney was on a Bodybalance Video!

2008-05-03T21:52:00.002+10:00

I watched the DVD for this release sometime back and looked looked and looked again during the DVD presentation he was actually on a old release and was on stage with Jackie presenting a release.

WOW!

Been listening to.....

2008-05-03T20:09:00.002+10:00

I have spent allot of time on myspace lateley more than I have been at any forum or here. It is a great place to hear new music I have discovered so many new artists and songs there and now I am working my way through Spain and its wonderfull music.

Awesome :)

Bodybalance 41 Track Omission

2008-05-03T19:59:00.002+10:00

On the DVD there is a track missing it appears on the CD for the release.

Some people are wondering how can they learn it without the DVD as a visual guide. Most of my Bodybalance releases pre 18 have no DVD - Video for referencing I had to learn it from the Choreography and only the music as a guide and lots of research into the poses. It is hard to learn a release based only on the notes and no visual reference besides what I can remember in class as a participant.

The hardest to learn was the front end of Bodybalance 7 and the back end of Bodybalance 8 then the following week learning the front end of Bodybalance 8 and the back end of Bodybalance 7 to teach without a DVD for a guide.

Thats the fun of it for me :) to learn the poses and do research into the poses. Phillip and Jackie and Lee Parore choregraphed release 7. Release 8 was choreographed by Molly Fox :) loved her work and still enjoy her version of Bodybalance so much different than what Jackie does.

If you have a chance ask your Bodybalance teacher to teach those releases :) my class loved them :)

I'm Kissing You Desree

2008-05-03T19:49:00.004+10:00

For those of us who go that far back and have Bodybalance 6 Jackie brings back this wonderfull track from that release.

Back then it followed Written in the Stars by Elton John love Bodybalance 6 Bringing out that track and then using the choreo from Bodybalance 6 still sends shivers down my spine all the time.

For those who have done the original the ending is still a breathtaking as it was all those years ago.

I just love Bodybalance 6 an awesome release. But Bodybalance 40 track 9 is stunning and wow.

Love this release everyone :)

Bodypump 41

2008-05-03T19:39:00.002+10:00

The very best of the 3o's series of Bodybalance

2008-04-05T17:14:00.002+10:00

The 30's series of Bodybalance was awesome it began with release 30 and number 1 from the best of series goes to:

01. Here with Me (Dido) the reason for this track is that it blends so well with track 2 and 3 from that release and Winter in July (Bomb The Bass) from release 35.

02. Endless Dream (Conjure One) blends so well with track one from release 30. If you are mixing please mix track 1 and track 2. Awesome mind and body experience and the flow really fit so well together. This release 32 track is so cool.

03. Gods Top 10 (INXS) that track fits so well with track 1 and 2 from release 30 and release 32.

04. Because we Believe (Andrea Bocelli) from release 36 fits so well with track 3 and progression from both tracks senda chill up my spine.

05. No worries (Simon Webbe) from release 35 blends so welll into track 4 from release 36. Track 5's are a a hard pick. Gabriel from Lamb release 18 nothing compares to that one for me.

06. Crazy (Seal) from release 31 and Crazy (OneZeroOne) from release 39 are standout tracks the same song from the 30's series. both are so different but have an enormous impact into the whole mix from the 30's series.

07. You got the Love (The Source Feat. Candi Station) outstanding track it blends in so well with track 6 and 5.

08. Light Surrounding You (Evermore) love the track once you have reached the pinnacle of the release track 7 is so cool and melts so well into track 8. I guess the word blend is what it is all about the way a track blends to the next one :)

09. The honour of track 10 goes to Center of the Sun (Conjure One) from release 32. 8 or so minutes of total cool and the way the track moves from 09 to 10 in this release is chilling.

So track 10 goes to Heart - Perry Wood (Release 32)

Try that mix in class and see how it goes it is awesome and totally chilling and leaves the class with goosebumps :)

101,882 Hits

2008-04-02T17:38:00.003+10:00
