What does BODYVIVE ^TM offer?

BODYVIVE ^TM offers the core benefit of all Les Mills programs: namely, an enjoyable, motivating pre-choreographed group fitness experience that produces real fitness results. Specifically, BODYVIVE ^TM is designed to deliver:

1. Improved muscular strength and endurance
2. Increased heart fitness
3. Improved flexibility and range of movement
4. Better agility and balance
5. Improved posture
6. Weight loss through elevated calorie expenditure
7. Reduced risk of bone and joint degeneration
8. General wellness and "feel-good" benefits

How is the program structured?

BODYVIVE ^TM starts with a simple warm-up, "Rise and Shine," and continues with alternating "heart fitness" and "functional strength" blocks before a final block of core and restorative exercises.

The basic structure is fixed but the moves and music will change when a new class is released every three months.

What kind of equipment is used?

BODYVIVE ^TM uses small Pilates balls and stretchy rubber bands for resistance training.

What type of music is used?

BODYVIVE ^TM is choreographed predominantly to popular, mainstream music from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The music is catchy and many people sing along!

How fit do I need to be to do BODYVIVE ^TM?

First-timers do not need to be fit - simply physically active and able to move freely.

If starting exercise for the first time or resuming after a break, it is advisable to visit your doctor first.

Do I need to be in a particular age group to participate?

No. Australian trials have proved that BODYVIVE ^TM has broad popularity across all age groups. People of all ages are welcome!
