Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

I’ve been toying with the idea of signing up for ages but with the latest lockdown I thought I’d go for it. Oh my goodness. Absolutely loving it! Years ago I did combat at the gym and I’ve really missed it. Definitely indulged on that since I signed up! I’ve done an attack class which I’d previously done at the gym but my living room is far too small and as pp have said I feel stupid on the runnn g track.

Loving how because it’s at home I can give classes a go that I’d never attempt in front of others. Yes barre and sh’bam that’s you! I was absolutely useless! But I’ll give them another go 😂

I signed up for the fast burner challenge but managed to merge weeks 1 and 2. Also I like to run and I’m not coming home from a ten mile run to do a cardio class so I need to have another look at that. I’ve not lost weight ( entirely my fault I eat too much ) but j can tell that I’m starting to tone up.

Ooh, gosh, sorry that was a longer post than I’d intended! Just feeling the les mills love 😂

Done one of the tasters of ba today as I’ve not done it before in my life. Thought it’d be more tough but I’ve survived so I might add it to my routine :)

I enjoyed Grit Agility this morning. Plus it's one of the slightly shorter ones. Psychologically if I can tell myself it'll all be over in less than half and hour I find it easier.

I don't worry if I can't keep up or need more breaks. The point is just to work at a more intense level and push yourself to your own personal limit.

Les Mills training is a gentle introduction to Grit. I particularly like the strength one.

I’m too scared to try Grit, I’m usually flat out at the end of Combat so I don’t think I’d have the fitness to keep up!

Pleased to have found some LMOD fans. I started in January having not done it for ages. I have to be careful because I hurt my knee with some too enthusiastic bodystep a couple of years ago. Much too scared to try anything Grit. I love step and combat the best.

If anyone with kids hasn’t found Born to Move on the app I would recommend it. I have a 4 and 6 year old who like doing the age 4-5 classes. It’s an excellent way to occupy them for 20 minutes and burn some energy.

I’d love the LM bar one day! Yeah the plates are so expensive.
I have had a basic barbell from Argos which came with 40kg total but a lot is in 1.25 plates so I bought 2 additional 5kg plates a while later and one day I hope to get a pair of 10kgs! I think my bar was about £40 and had it about 4 years now so it’s definitely been worth it! The LM bar is so appealing though (not the price!)

So got up at 5.20am today 2 hours before I leave for work and I did the new Grit Athletic! So proud. Finished an hour ago and my HR is still up! It has a lot of explosive plate work so I feel I’m proper pumped haha.

I noticed the new releases included “GRIT Power” and “Grit Agility” but no Plyo or the combos. So many GRIT categories, all awful lol. I want to try those other two next week though 😬

Cocacola12

Well done!

Do you think that the official LM kit is worth the money?

Just found this thread!
Have been doing LMOD since April, having not done any LM classes since 2012 🙈
Absolutely loving them. So much so that I invested in the LM pump barbell/step set.
Mostly so combat and pump, but interested in trying Tone - can anyone recommend a good one to start on?
Did pump 99 today - and upped my squat weight to 15kg so feeling proud (started off not managing to finish the track with 5kg)

That meant to say 114!

I did Bodypump 115 45mins this morning - I did the 55min last week - dare I say this was tougher, that lunge and shoulder track was grueling! I enjoyed it though.

I see new GRIT’s are up. I am planning on doing a Plyo/cardio combo or athletic tomorrow morning. I haven’t seen which ones are up. I really “enjoy” athletic and Plyo as I love jumping over the bench 😂 hate almost everything else lol.

Kitty sometimes if I'm lucky the dog wants to go out halfway through. I feel the same way: lots of lunges and almost grit-like.

BA#103 for me - it felt very lunge heavy, and almost 'grit-ish' but maybe that's because it wasn't Lisa presenting. I luckily got a rest in the middle of track 6 when I had to reboot the router.

Grit athletic is something I have only done a few times. Seriously grueling.

Grit, not Brit FFS

Did a Brit athletic for the 2nd time this morning - ooof

I did Body Attack 108 yesterday and then 107 this morning - both the 45 minute ones. I need to change it up tomorrow, maybe back to Combat because my arse is killing me now

Spin bikes and smart leggings! Ooh! Lucky things 🙂

I just got some sweattybetty and some lululemn leggings, can anyone recommend any other legging brand that tends to be good?

And some steps that don't cost a fortune but dont break?
thanks!

I’ve just bit the bullet and ordered a spin bike 😬
Now I can really do all of LM woooo really like their bike stuff, especially the Trip!

*love

@Covidcorvid live a bit of improvisation!
