BPM on BB music?

[kathryn]

Cathe or SNM: Could you list the bpm of the music on the different workouts? Since the DVD's are coming with a "voice only" option, I'd like to be able to have some music in my collection that I could use for a change when doing the strength workouts.

Thanks!

Hi Kathryn! It is tricky to give you exact BPM's since there are tempo variations throughout some of the workouts. For instance, Kick Punch and Crunch gradually speeds up in BPM's during intensity drills then slows down quite a bit at the very end (it is mentioned in the workout that this is going to happen) to accomodate the hammer punch lunges. Step Jump and Pump deliberately changes tempo's per song to accomodate either the step, hi/lo/ or weight routines. Step Blast is pretty consistent as far as BPM's with a warm up at 130 BPM and a step routine at 132 BPM. All of the weight workouts are approx. 128 to 130 BPM's. Hope this helps!

Thanks! I was most interested in the weight work bpm, as I can imagine doing the lifts a bit off beat, whereas with the cardio, I would have a hard time not moving "to the music"!
