My personal preview of BP 55

We all know what BP55 is about, we've done it over and over again. It's going to take some time before we get the new release, so it's not too late to write my own preview of current one and also leave this here to remind me later what fun we had.

1. Warm Up - Back To Basics - Shapeshifters

At first I didn’t get any kicks from this one. There’s no feeling of explosive, aggressive “here we go, are you ready, people?!” But it’s okay. I’m getting used to this one. The moves are simple and especially great for beginners. My mom just started new hobby with BodyPump, so I'm glad the first song didn't scare her away.

2. Squats : You are all of That – Danzel

This song was a disappointed after Danzel’s “Pump it up”, of which I madly love! But I’m getting used to this one, just like the previous one... And the song gets better every time. I had a chance to put some extra plates, finally. So, I got new challenge that way.

3. Chest : Sweetest Poison - Nu Pagadi

I love this song. It’s just sad that I have to stop singing in exstacy and get on the floor to do some push-ups. This song with my favourite move of the class gets me high! I'm trying to learn the lyrics, but I guess I have to settle for the chorus...
Are you surprised if I tell you that Nu Pagadi is actually Germany’s Popstars-winner of the 2004? You can watch their video for this sexy song on their website. I would marry the other male singer (Pat) any time, any where. Oh, Pat, I’m waiting!

4. Back & Hamstrings : Olympia - E-Type
Like we haven’t got enough E-type yet... Well, this is the same song as always. And it works. After some listening this is just fine. After chest-track back-track is my second favorite, so enjoyable moves make up for the E-typish song. I love dead-rows and dead-lifts.

5. Triceps : California - C.O. Club Oriented
I hate tricep presses. Because I suck. I don’t know how to do them right and any instructor in the world wouldn’t have the skills to teach me how to do them properly. I like the kick-backs and the one move, where you hold one plate above your head and… but this sucks. The whole song before those party-poopers is okay. O.C. just started in Finland before BP55 release, so I’ve heard this song on the radio too many times before.

6. Biceps : Galvanize - The Chemical Brothers
And time for my second favourite! I always find some new favourite songs from new BP releases. I listen to the BP tracklists at home too (as long as downloading mp3's in peer-to-peer-network is possible...), and some of the songs will stay at my playlist forever. I love the slow moves (four up-four down... oh yes...) and the fast stops when counting to three, it gives my biceps some time to think what they did wrong to get punished so badly. The whole routine is fun and new and very fresh.

7. Lunges : As the Rush – Motorcycle
Very beautiful, dreamy song. Simple and effective. And biceps get their well-earned rest. I'm trying different ways to use the barbell or a single plate, but I still prefer having the barbell on the side giving balance.

8. Shoulders : I Get Up - INXS
Yes, I like this one. Some rock'n roll. Nice to have some cool songs that are not burnt already from the beginning. There's not a single move I don't like in shoulder-track.

9. Abs : Karma - Alicia Keys
I’ glad they decided to keep the same move like the in the previous release, the one with the plate. It’s my favourite ab-killing move. Oh yes! Sometimes ab-tracks are maybe a bit lazy, but with this move you can get the good-kind-of-pain to the abs.

10. Cool Down : Liberatio - Krypteria
I wish there was more time, it always runs out… And the song is a bit boring. Maybe because lyrics are so weird I will never learn them.

Music is a matter of taste. I may not like all the songs as much, but this is still one great release and I'm loving every second of it.
