Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

Upsidedownrightnow · 05/06/2020 14:54

I'm just wondering if others are using Les Mills on demand and if we could maybe check in with each other to discuss what we are doing and what our goals are etc?

I am trying to loose 1 stone and doing 5:2 but i eat too much on my non-fasting days so I don't really loose any weight, so I'm adding exercise in the hope of shifting some weight Smile

So far I have done bodycombat 3 times this week for about half an hour each and some weights and flexibility training, but I think from next week I will be adding in bodypump

Is anyone else using this? I am really enjoying it so far Smile

Do we need to start a new thread?

Peachypips78 · 13/03/2021 13:15

Ahhh that makes sense.

I'm still suffering @kittykarate too. My hip pain has now migrated and is affecting the top of the inside of my thighs. I'm forcing myself to walk but not sure if that's going to make it worse! I'm like an old woman hobbling around particularly after I've been sitting for a while.

I defected to Peleton this morning and did a 60 min spin class. Enjoyed it but definitely not as challenging as The Trip.

kitty - small progress is still good progress. The BB are good ones to do when you're recovering from an injury. I understand the frustration when you can't get your cardio kick. Hope you recover soon.

I managed one of the intro to Body Balance videos today- my first LMOD since I did my hip flexor. What's really annoying is I still can't walk for more than 3 or so minutes without getting crazy quad pain.

In the UK BodyFLow is known as Bodybalance. I think it's the US where the BF name is used.

Peachypips78 · 13/03/2021 09:22

Can anyone tell me if I've totally made up a class called body flow? I am sure I have heard someone mention it but can't find it!

Peachypips78 · 11/03/2021 21:43

@wishywashywoowoo70 oooo no- missed that drama!

I like the French bloke. Very sexy.

Pebbledashery · 11/03/2021 14:14

I did step 101 this morning. I love Mark Nu..
I don't know what it is about step but I sweat on a total different level to attack and combat 😂

wishywashywoowoo70 · 11/03/2021 13:38

Jesus did anyone see that bloke calling some a C&"t this morning on the FB page. 🙄🙄

@SmellsLikeAHamsterCage

Might sign up for this. I used to love doing attack, body balance and body step classes at the gym.

What are the step classes like? Are they only the 'athletic' version?

No, there are just "normal" step ones as well Smile

ZenNudist · 10/03/2021 20:45

Just seen this suggestion. I am not a home exerciser but used to love combat pump and attack pre dc in my 20s! Toying with the idea of a trial

sociallydistained · 10/03/2021 20:29

I’m not an early bird in the slightest but after reading an inspirational book a few years ago I decided to give it a go. I find it much easier when the gyms were open as I booked on a class and then just got up and went and woke up in the car... I didn’t want to have to cancel so always went through with it.

At home I find it harder but I’ve recently started doing it again just twice a week but I have to get up at 5.15 as I have a coffee and wake up for half hour before then start at 5.45. I leave for work at 7.20. As long as I get enough sleep on the other days I can manage twice a week. I really feel good for it and love the fact it’s done and I don’t have to dread a workout after work when I’m done in lol.

MsMartini · 10/03/2021 17:40

Just done Step athletic - thanks to whoever recommended that. I'm hopelessly uncoordinated but got a real buzz when occasionally I was doing something similar to the instructors Smile. Really fun and great workout.

wishywashywoowoo70 · 10/03/2021 15:12

@Peachypips78

Are you feeling tired? I want to do this but I'm scared I'm going to get more and more tired. What time do you get up?
Not at all. Feel much better. I was getting up at 7 having a shower then sitting in bed with a coffee for 20 minutes to start work at 7.50. Now I get out out bed and dressed by 6.45. Do 45 minute combat and maybe 15 minute core. I have loads more energy. I didn't fancy it at all but after a few days of making myself do it it's fine. Once I'm downstairs I'm glad I shifted my arse
nbee84 · 10/03/2021 11:47

I've tried several times over the years to exercise early before going to work. For me this means getting up at 6am. My last try was 2 mornings last week. I'm not a great sleeper at the best of times but knowing I was getting up early made my sleep worse. I also felt sluggish and didn't get the best out of my exercise. Even on non work days I prefer to be up and awake for a good hour before I workout. I'd love to be an early exerciser but I don't think it's for me.

wishywashywoowoo70 · 10/03/2021 08:19

I absolutely hate getting up before I need to. But for a week and a bit now I've been getting up an hour earlier to do combat (cos I love it)
I'd let myself get so overweight and out of shape I was embarrassed to see anyone.

Can feel a difference in myself and I have so much energy. I've gone from waking and dressing to my desk at home to waking doing an hour class putting a wash on getting our first coffee organised and having breakfast before work.

It's been so long since I did attack so I'm working towards that.

Peachypips78 · 09/03/2021 18:44

Yes- and really helpful if you have a question. Nice bunch!

wishywashywoowoo70 · 09/03/2021 18:22

@Peachypips78

Yes I am. I find them quite motivating.
Me too. Really positive which is unusual for FB 😂 So helpful and knowledgeable about releases too.
Peachypips78 · 09/03/2021 17:54

wishywashywoowoo70 · 09/03/2021 17:10

Anyone in the Facebook groups?

sociallydistained · 09/03/2021 09:35

I did The Trip last night and Grit Nano again first thing (quite like that one) followed by a short Sprint on the bike. I am so glad I got the spin bike now, I am really enjoying doing the LM bike workouts and can feel my legs getting stronger already.

Two intense cardio sessions so think Bodypump tomorrow.

Peachypips78 · 09/03/2021 09:26

Yes punching on a vaccine arm wouldn't be fun! I didn't have mine with that so was lucky.

Today going to take the dog for a nice long walk in the sun and do body pump upper body. It's my first day off without the boys at home and I'm so looking forward to just being by myself.

Did body step beginners yesterday and it was really good- I heeded the warning about coordination and did the beginners to learn the moves. Made life much easier.
