Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

986 replies

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

Ok I'm doing BP 100 tomorrow then too 😆😆

@kittykarate thanks for the information, I will try body pump with normal weights while other videos of Barre are made.

I’m inspired to do some BA 100 this week then! I can never remember which one is what but I do remember the cool down from that track 😂
I might do BP 100 too, that came out when I first joined LMOD so has a special place in my heart ❤️

Pebbledashery · 09/02/2021 14:13

Track 8 in body attack 100 is just everything!

Cocacola12 · 09/02/2021 14:03

Bc82 today (after watching Marlon’s stories on insta the other day!) haven’t done it for a couple of weeks. Love track 4 🥵

kittykarate · 09/02/2021 11:10

did body attack 100 this morning. It was absolutely fabulous! such high energy!

BA100 is an absolute corker! The only downside with it for me is the cooldown isn't very clearly shown.

kittykarate · 09/02/2021 11:09

@Shymoon - Barre is still being produced, but it's relatively new, only launched in 2018 (according to google!) so it doesn't have as many workouts in the library compared to ones that have been running forever like Body Pump/Combat/Attack. In general, they produce a new workout every 3 months for most of the programmes, but obviously Covid has completely cocked that up.

Just reigniting this thread - I did body attack 100 this morning. It was absolutely fabulous! such high energy!

Did pump 112 today, not done it for ages. Not one of my favourites - I find a few of the tracks too quick (triceps and back) and few my technique isn’t great in it due to that. Really don’t like the squat track in that release. My favourites are 100 and 99. Love back track in 100.

HermioneWeasley · 08/02/2021 21:38

I only realised last night that body pump united is 115. I’ve been waiting for them to add it as I enjoyed doing it at the gym. Did it this morning. The back track is HARD

@butwhatcanwedo

Joining this thread as I’ve been enjoying LMOD since last lockdown and it’s getting me through this one!

Not sure whether to get the barbell set - currently only really doing Combat so would be good to do Body pump.

Anyone into the cycling? Don’t currently have a spin bike but could get one if any in stock at Argos!

Not sure what else to do ...

Has anyone lost weight doing LMOD? I want to lose 20 pounds by the summer mainly by exercising a lot.

Last spring at start of lockdown I started LMOD with the aim of losing weight, over the course of about 4 months I lost a stone but I did work out every single day during that period (Mostly combat, but did pump once or twice a week) I didn’t change hugely what I ate. I’m quite overweight so not a huge amount. Start of Jan this year I again started LMOD (had fell into bad habit and not worked out for a while) and have been doing pump 3 or 4 times a week and combat on remaining days, and also watching what I eat (using MFP) and I have lost over a stone in 6 weeks. exercise helps but diet is most important.
Shymoon · 08/02/2021 10:55

Hi everyone! I signed up to LMOD and have tried Barre and Balance. Barre seems like there are very few workouts but I really like it. Do you know if it is very recent or have they discontinued producing videos?

nbee84 · 08/02/2021 10:21

I bought a spin bike a couple of years ago - a 2nd hand technogym gym quality one for a bargain price on ebay. I used it occasionally but it was a godsend last September as I injured my knee (running initially but then something snapped doing skater move in attack) I still can't do anything high impact on my knee so no step, jumping, running and squats and lunges can be troublesome. Spin allows me to get my cardio in. I tend to do combat and pump upper body workouts and cxworx. I love The Trip and throw the occasional Sprint or rpm in if I fancy a change.
As for weight loss - sadly no, I've put on weight through lockdown Blush but that's down to my sweet tooth and being in the house more. Weight loss is mostly diet but exercising alongside a healthy diet is great.

utterfailureasamum · 08/02/2021 07:39

There is a very active LMOD facebook group for anyone who hasn't checked it out.

LMOD has saved me over the last year. And i will continue to use it to help me fit in workouts in my busy life.

butwhatcanwedo · 08/02/2021 06:59

Also - can’t believe anyone apart from me remembers the Jill series - I was obsessed - that and the Black Stallion books

@oneglassandpuzzled

And great name, btw, *rosettesforjill". I still have all my Jill books and she's still one of my great inspirations in life.
Thanks! I used to love the series so much when I was younger Smile
HermioneWeasley · 07/02/2021 20:21

Grit yesterday and body pump this morning 💪

@rosettesforjill

Does anyone use any weights comparable to the Les Mills ones but less outrageously expensive?
I bought a set on eBay that aren’t les mills. Jordan Bodypump studio set.
Knackerelli · 07/02/2021 12:08

Ah, thanks msmartini I agree, it’s so important to have things that make you feel good. And physical health is so intricately linked to mental health.

I think longer term I’ll be doing mainly running with core workouts and then combat or attack on days I can’t leave the house. Mix it up with sh’bam for a laugh 😆

MsMartini · 07/02/2021 10:38

@Knackerelli, love the les mills love. So so good right now to have something you can do at home, any time, that is good for you and makes you feel good, I think.

I run too, and strength train (outdoors at the moment) - I've never done any of the challenges as my LM has to fit around that. So I do a lot of combat and core - enough to be challenging and a good workout but can be done with tired legs or back, and am fine for the next day. I find it much harder to motivate myself for attack or grit but maybe that doesn't matter.
