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

I did body combat 64 and now feel like I am about to keel over. As good a workout as at the gym.
Need to lie down now...

Pebbledashery · 07/11/2020 16:33

It's the best thing I've discovered in lock down I have to say

PurpleDaisies · 07/11/2020 16:04

I’ve just signed up. I’ve been doing physical body combat and body balance classes for a while. Looking forward to getting going.

JacobReesMogadishu · 07/11/2020 12:40

I’ve done my first ever cxworks class today. Number 38. It was ok.
Might try a step class in a bit.

I’m impatiently waiting for the missing clips for my barbell to arrive so I can do pump.

I did my first Step class this morning. It got me out of breath, which was good, but I was getting a bit irritated at not being able to work out the movements! My cardio fitness is good but I just can't move so quickly as I've got older, so I get behind, that might improve a bit I suppose as I get more familiar with it. I had the feeling I'd get a bit bored with it though, which I don't really with Attack.

Pebbledashery · 06/11/2020 16:22

I did body combat 64 this morning.. Muy Thai is a killer in that one..

earlydoors42 · 06/11/2020 15:48

I did the Body Attack on the roof today too! I liked that one, although I did take a breather between each track.

EatPrayYoga · 05/11/2020 18:58

I haven't done any LMOD for a couple of weeks

I might try some Shbam tomorrow but I only really like the ones with recognisable music that I like

TabbyStar · 05/11/2020 18:48

I like Body Attack 105, the one on the roof.

My step came today, I ran this morning but hoping to do BodyStep tomorrow, probably just 30 mins to start off with.

Pebbledashery · 05/11/2020 16:23

Sorry for the visuals but I sweat like an absolute beast by track 3 in Combat, by the end of it I am finished.. it's good for releasing tension as well! punching the air :P

kittykarate · 05/11/2020 15:43

I find Combat easier to work up a good sweat in, but it's more that the moves are more familiar to me from doing martial arts years ago, so I'm wasting less time standing there with a WTF expression on my face.

The only Body Attack I've noted down in BA#90 short (30 mins)- really enjoyed that and had a sore arse for days after because it was lunge-tastic.

I need to find myself a new plan to do, I was doing Optimal Mix Prime as it had no-equipment options. As I bought more stuff, I added in the 'alternates' from the schedule to make it a 5 day a week thing.

Pebbledashery · 05/11/2020 11:38

I got a bit bored with Body Attack today, I find Combat so much more empowering, but I will mix it up a bit, I think it's just the one I did today.

earlydoors42 · 05/11/2020 11:34

It's still a while until christmas - I'm sure you can do it!

Let me know any good Attacks you find and I will try them too. I am also doing Pump and Cx works depending how I feel!

Pebbledashery · 05/11/2020 10:17

I have a stone to lose and I want to do it by xmas..
Combat was brilliant! I was absolutely dripping!!!
I did attack this morning but I'm not very good at lunges and there was lots of lunges! I do enjoy attack but think I was motivated in a classroom setting rather than on my own in my daughters bedroom as she has a bigger bedroom than me ! :P I was still sweating a lot though and I am absolutely aching. Think I will alternative between Combat and Attack. x

earlydoors42 · 05/11/2020 09:33

How was the combat, @Pebbledashery? I am doing some this morning. I didn't enjoy my Attack class yesterday as much as the previous one - I need to start noting the numbers down.

I have lost weight by exercising this year but I also used My Fitness Pal to count calories until I had got as low as I wanted to (I only wanted to lose half a stone). It only worked well when I stopped eating my exercise calories.

Pebbledashery · 04/11/2020 10:50

Has anyone managed to lose weight training to les Mills? I'm aiming to lose a stone by Christmas by doing 2 classes every morning for 4 mornings a week.

Pebbledashery · 04/11/2020 08:30

About to do my combat workout with aching bones 😭😭😭

earlydoors42 · 04/11/2020 06:28

I join my laptop to the tv with an HDMI cable. I don't understand other technology to get it on the tv...

JacobReesMogadishu · 03/11/2020 19:04

I've just thought... How do you get it on your TV? I have a roku stick.... Is there an app.

TabbyStar · 03/11/2020 15:53

I started doing Attack low impact as I had a back / hip injury, though I found out that I could actually do high impact after a while. They give you low impact alternatives, though often not until a way into the exercises so you may need to do a few classes to get the hang of it, though if you've done that sort of thing before the adaptions are often obvious. I just made exercises up though in the bits where I didn't want to do what they were doing but then joined in again when I was ready.

Pebbledashery · 03/11/2020 15:40

I'm aching like a biyatch now 😢😢. So unfit. But looking forward to getting fitter

KnightsofColumbusThatHurt · 03/11/2020 14:47

Can you tell me if you actually sweat during the work outs?

Ummmmmm..... Yes! Grin

earlydoors42 · 03/11/2020 14:31

I love body combat! Especially kicking and jump kicking.

Pebbledashery · 03/11/2020 14:05

OK I signed up shortly after posting and did a 45 minute body combat workout. I'm sat here panting like a big sweaty dog 😭😭😭😭. It was brilliant though.. Think I prefer to do it in the morning first thing then in my lunch break.

earlydoors42 · 03/11/2020 14:01

I very much sweat!
