Les Mills BodyPump 93 playlist

The new Les Mills release of BodyPump 93 launches this morning at Gold’s Gym and each release I put the playlist here for members to view because I get asked time and time again “what was that song for….” and putting it here means they can check back anytime. Plus I know a lot of people come online to look for the playlist so here it is. Bodypump 93! Holy heck I’ve been teaching this a LONG time… almost FOUR YEARS…. time flies. So I’m gonna break it down the new release track by track as always. Links to iTunes and Amazon are affiliate links so I get a little kickback if you click through to purchase, which means I get to spend more time working out, ok maybe blogging lol!

BodyPump 93 track by track

Warm Up – Break Free by Ariana Grade feat. Zedd   iTunes  /  Amazon

I realize there isn’t much you can really do to make warm ups different with each release so I appreciate when Glen shakes things up. We did side raises and rotator raises/presses in the warm up a few releases ago and they are back in this release. I love the song and it’s a fun one to start off the workout. It’s funny that a few of the songs from this release are on one of my recent spinning playlists!

Squats – Booyah (Lucky Date Remix) by Showtex feat. We are loud & Sonny Wilson   **iTunes  /  **Amazon

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a fan of the instrumental tracks but I really like this song. Honestly it reminds me of my vacation to Ibiza when I was younger, techno! It goes well with the choreography too which is always  a plus for me. I like the combination they used and the overall feel reminds me of Antidote from BodyPump 85.

Chest – Kings and Queens by Thirty seconds to mars   iTunes  /  Amazon

In the interest of honesty I don’t like this song at all for the chest track, this to me is more a cool down stretch track. So slow and no ‘oomph’. We go from a top 10 hit, to techno to a snoozefest. I like the chest fly and the slower tempo, it’s definitely a good chest workout but the song itself does NOTHING for me. Not keen on the bottom halves in a fly either. Coaching needs to be on point for this exercise, and this track as a whole just to drive the in the participants track and keep them awake. My least favorite track of BodyPump 93

Back – Here Tonight (carita la nina radio edit) by Dash Berlin & Jay Cosmic feat. Colin McLoughlin   iTunes  /  Amazon

One of the easiest tracks to learn for sure. Another techno track, but at least it has some lyrics for me to sing along to! I love the addition of the power press at the end of the clean and press/dead-row combo. Fires up the intensity for sure. Three blocks of work, back to basics for the back, which I LOVE!

Triceps – Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj   iTunes  /  Amazon

I’ve played this to death in spin so I was happy to see it in BodyPump to give it a different twist. No bar needed, this one is fun and I just love the fun upbeat vibe that the song and choreography gives the participants. You feel it in the triceps but the song pushes you for more. If I have to put any negatives it’s the kneeling overhead extension after the tricep row, I just don’t feel it. It’s active recovery I guess. This song is just missing one thing – tricep dips, those are my favorites!!!

Biceps – Centuries by Fall Out Boy   iTunes  /  Amazon

The song has a little riff remix from Suzanne Vega’s Toms Diner. I’d heard this recently on Pandora and liked it enough to download for a future spin playlist but didn’t do anything with it. Well now it’ll be ingrained in my brain as a bicep track. Bar or plates/dumbbells for a long track with minimum recovery. I like it but really not keen on the combo, it just feels weird with the song, almost too upbeat for the ‘feel’ of the song… shocker I know.

Lunges – 1941 by Klaypex feat. Virian   iTunes  /  Amazon

Ok for me this is THE song of the release, super fun! I’d never heard this before but I remembered Klaypex doing a bicep track in BodyPump 84 but this one is WAY funner. It works really well for spin too, heads up spin instructors! Anyway I love the song, love the choreography but boy is it challenging! Continuous tension training means NO BREAK. Loved it.

Shoulders – Twisted (Eptic remix) by Fedde le Grand   **iTunes  /  Amazon

A dubstep type of song which I don’t mind but feel like this release has a lot of instrumental type songs. The choreography is broken down differently this time, short blocks with the bar, loving the tempo switch ups. The standing shoulder work with plates/dumbbells is good. I feel like it’s just missing something though… It does grow on you though, like all BodyPump songs really.

Core – All about that Bass by Meghan Trainor   iTunes  /  Amazon

Naturally I’ve played this in other classes since it’s release so now it feels old in BodyPump 93, or maybe it’s being given a new lease of life? I like the song obviously, as I already bought it, and I like the choreography. You need a few catchy songs that people know to just set the mood and this delivers that. Not that I mind at all but there are some bleeped out curse words, I wish they just left them in personally because everyone knows the words!

Cooldown – What are you waiting for? by Nickleback   iTunes  /  Amazon

Usual melody from Nickleback, again. Honestly I like Nickleback it was only a few releases ago we had Nickleback for the cool down (BodyPump 90!). I am just waiting for SOMETHING in the cool down to bring life back into it. Yes we’re stretching, but lets not fall asleep. This one is a better than than those of late but since Radioactive (BodyPump 89) they’ve all been a bit… blah. About 30% of the people in the BodyPump classes leave during the stretch. We need some better music to KEEP them there. Maybe we need to suggest this as a focus for education and coaching in a future release?
