1. The Les Mills Instructors Hub (Archived)

If you were an active instructor back in 2014, log into the Les Mills Instructors Hub (formerly the Eshop). Under "My Releases" -> "Archives" -> "Bodypump" -> "2014." If you purchased Release 86 digitally, the PDF is still there. If not, you may have to purchase the "Back Catalog" DVD/USB, though Les Mills phases these out. 🎧 Throwback Thursday: The Hunt for Bodypump 86

• The Music: 86 featured iconic remixes, including the legendary Tove Lo - Stay High (Habits) for the back track, which had a synced tempo that perfectly matched the clean-and-press rhythm.
• The Difficulty: This release is notorious for Track 7 (Lunges). The lunge track included a 3-2-1-1 tempo change mid-track that caused even experienced instructors to stumble.
• The Recovery: Unlike modern releases that offer constant recovery, 86 was a "grinder." The squat track featured a 2-second hold at the bottom for a full 4 minutes.

Track 3: Back

• Song: Stay High (Habits) – Hippie Sabotage Remix
• Timing: 3/1 & 4/2
• Choreography Note: The "Clean and Press" section is legendary. The PDF details a specific hand-grip switch. You must keep the bar close to the shins during the clean.
• The "86 Quirk": There is a single-right-arm row halfway through the track to fix muscle imbalance, followed by 32 reps of narrow grip rows.
