I have just restarted after doing it manically three times a week a year or so again. OMG my thighs are KILLING, i can barely walk.

I was delighted though that in the first class back we had one of those men who come in new and WAY over estimate how much they can lift. guilty giggle
Women never do this!

Les Mills are the 'inventors' of classes like body pump, body combat, body attack, etc and the centres they are taught in all work to the same choreography so wherever you go it will be the same

Ok thanks. I quite like repetion but not forever etc.

"Les mills" demented?

In Bodypump, there's a new release every 3 months. We (I'm an instructor) are supposed to teach that for a few weeks, and then introduce some old tracks in the mix, so people don't get bored. Not everybody does that though, in some gyms people ask that we teach only the same tracks for the whole 3 months.

And yes, I always tell the big bulky men that this class is different, they should go easy. If they roll their eyes and ignore me, I do secretly enjoy watching them the last 2 minutes of each track Grin

That's the thing about les mills classes, they have the same routines whichever venue you go to. They run in blocks of 3 months so it changes 4 times a year. The new routine will be released in January.

Genuinely excited about getting back into pump in the new year!

MrsMargoLeadbetter · 26/12/2015 22:26

I have just started after years...and love it.

I am at a Virgin gym. They tend to do the same music tracks each time. Teacher mentioned something about new ones in the new year.

Does your class have the same music? Just wondered.

That was me last Monday Grin My legs were so sore and of course the 3 year old (I'm a nanny) climbed all over me at every opportunity! Loving this latest release, particularly the back track.

I've seen a couple of blokes look slightly traumatised when they realise how much lifting there is and that their chosen weights might kill them before the class ends Grin.
