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

Got it. DS's year group is self-isolating so I did Body Attack with him just now. He was just going around shouting 'paaaaaarrrty!' at the top of his voice while I was dripping sweat and opening windows.

@SeasonallySnowyPeasant Grin. Good luck. I signed up on laptop he. dowloaded firestick app. It is worth it!!

SeasonallySnowyPeasant · 18/11/2020 09:22

I successfully downloaded the app to the Firestick last night but then failed to sign up as the payment page kept crashing on my phone. Trying my laptop today! If that doesn't work then I'll take it as a sign and just stay fat Cake

I cast the app from my (android) phone to my smart tv. I need to make sure my tv is switched before I open the app.

Hi Snowy, I've only recently started using the LMOD app via my Firestick. So far so good!

Prior to that, I was connecting my laptop to my (not so Smart - hence the Firestick!) TV via an HDMI cable and that also worked fine. If laptop was being a pain, due to regular, seemingly endless Windows updates I would 'cast' the screen of my tablet to the TV. I think it's called screen mirroring or something like that. I don't know if your phone would have that facility, but it's worth checking out if you have a Smart TV.

SeasonallySnowyPeasant · 17/11/2020 14:51

Ah brilliant. I'll have a go at downloading the app after work.

MsMartini · 17/11/2020 14:36

@SeasonallySnowyPeasant, I downloaded the LMOD app to my firestick TV - it works fine.

kittykarate · 17/11/2020 14:09

I'm just running it on my tablet and squinting a lot!

PurpleDaisies · 17/11/2020 13:54

I’m just using my laptop. That’s good enough for classes I know quite well like body combat but it’s harder for learning new moves.

SeasonallySnowyPeasant · 17/11/2020 13:45

Hi ladies. Sorry if this has been addressed already but it's a long thread...

What do you use to access LMoD? I had to give up on the Jillian Michaels app because I couldn't get it to work on my FireTV stick and my phone screen was too small.

TabbyStar · 17/11/2020 13:37

I'm okay with step until it gets to the "party" track and then I think wtf, get grumpy and give up!

PurpleDaisies · 17/11/2020 13:33

I tried Barre for the first time today and quite enjoyed it. Some of the jumping type moves weren’t particularly well explained and my legs wouldn’t move in the right way. It felt like a good workout for my legs though.

earlydoors42 · 17/11/2020 13:29

I don't think I could coordinate with the step! I tried Grit Cardio today - didn't love it! And tuck jumps make a bit of wee come out :-(

kittykarate · 12/11/2020 11:38

I do like their plans for making you try different releases and different programs.

I'm just finishing optimal mix prime and now I'm doing Burn Prime (no equipment), topped up to 5 days a week with stuff from the Tone and Strengthen Prime. It might be a bit of a step up , as Optimal Mix was the 30 min versions, and Burn Prime is full length.

I'm still finding Body Step a bit hit and miss. I cannot work out what on earth is going on with some of the swirling/turning routines (e.g. BS102 is one that has a lot of turning off and on the step).

Pebbledashery · 12/11/2020 11:18

I alternate between combat and attack.. Attack kills my legs. Yes bc 63 is absolute killer.. But i loved it. I much prefer the old ones.

earlydoors42 · 12/11/2020 07:42

Not sure whether to try BC63 as I don't want to be sick! Since BC 64 I have done 1 barre, 1 BA, 1 cx works and 1 pump. Back to Combat today!

JacobReesMogadishu · 09/11/2020 20:21

I’ve been doing BodyPump for 3 years in the gym so I must have done quite a few but no idea what my favourites were. And also loads more which I’ve never done.

I did the current release today to get me back into it but think I’ll branch out tomorrow and try a new one.

Duckwit · 09/11/2020 19:05

My absolute faves are Body Combat 77 and Body Pump 111. I feel like I probably need to branch out a bit more!

Pebbledashery · 09/11/2020 10:01

I did body combat 63 this morning.. NO JOKE - it literally made me sick!!! the 2nd power track and the last one are absolutely amazing!!!

earlydoors42 · 08/11/2020 15:46

I will try that one next!

I got quite a shock last week as I attempted one of those elbow strikes but went wrong and punched myself in the face. I am very careful with them now!

Pebbledashery · 08/11/2020 14:49

Body combat 65 is also absolutely killer it's quite addictive.

earlydoors42 · 08/11/2020 10:51

I just did BC64 after reading this thread. I managed most of it except a few push ups and a few lunges! Also took a slight breather before the muy thai! Great recommendation thanks!

Pebbledashery · 07/11/2020 18:27

@PurpleDaisies me too I was doing it in 2017 pre pregnancy and stopped in 2018.. I love that I can do it from home and feel a sweat on and don't give a crap what I look like because its only me in my home 😂

PurpleDaisies · 07/11/2020 17:41

@pebbledashery BC64 was out when I was doing combat at the gym three times a week. Lots of muscle memory. Loved it! Think going to seriously ache tomorrow though.

My local leisure centre hasn’t had classes at convenient times for ages and I’ve really missed it. I was surprised how good it was at home (and how much cheaper!).

Pebbledashery · 07/11/2020 17:34

@PurpleDaisies 64 is my favourite. The muy Thai is absolutely killer.
