Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

I drip plenty, even with CoreCX which as others have said doesn't involve jumping around (it is a great workout I think, combined with other things)

I'm looking to sign up to it too.. Can you tell me if you actually sweat during the work outs? When I did body attack and combat at the gym I was dripping in sweat but I think they do purposely put the temperature up in the hall too.

Urgh, I did Grit for the first time ever today. I can't say I enjoyed it like the others at all, I hate burpees though so that might why! Then I did a lovely Body Pump 111, my absolute fave!

I tried the ballet one too which makes me feel like an elephant but I enjoy it. I haven't done much but I think that has some hopping about. The shorter / beginner ones are more plies and things (not hopping) so you could try those for a change?

Excellent, that sounds promising

I just got my tube thing yesterday so did cx works yesterday and today. My buttocks can feel it!

Thanks, I've ordered a Reebok tube thing so I can try cxworks.

I only have a small space and manage Body Attack. I just either stay on the spot or take smaller steps than they do. It still makes me a big sweaty mess!

Cx works doesn't involve jumping, worth a go!

Right I have ordered a barbell and weights and will sign up for Les Mills when they arrive. I’m used to Pump, combat and balance from the gym but no idea about anything else.

What else is good? I have an ankle injury so can’t do high impact stuff. So Attack would be out. Out of the others what doesn’t involve jumping about?

There is quite a bit of traveling in BodyAttack, I'm less familiar with Combat, but you could adapt most things to do them on the spot I would have thought.

In fact, I’d have less than 2mx2m as I’d have the baby on the play mat on the floor to jump around 😖

Hi all, I used to do Body Combat and Attack (plus body balance and pump a handful of times) years ago and enjoyed them.
I’m 10 weeks PP and only have a small front room to work out in (literally size of my rug 200x200cm!). Would be workouts be suitable for working out in such a small space or do you have to do a lot of travelling like in the classes?
We used to cover a huge room in Body Attack!
I always managed to do 30 Day Shred easily as everything is static/on the spot.

Ooh perfect thanks. I will try and get some this week so I can Body Attack through the lockdown month! (Or more....)

dh just got fitted with new trainers in a running shop - they let him try them outside.

Thank you! Are we allowed to try trainers on in shops if I rush before Thursday? I can't keep track of the rules! I feel a bit like I could run outside now too - I never have before!

I love Body Attack! Yes definitely trainers. I started out low impact and barefoot but even that seemed to benefit from trainers, then it got me jumping and then back to running again after a four-year injury break (I thought if I can run up and down my kitchen, I can probably run outside).

I did a hybrid workout which made me realise I like Body Attack! I usually work out bare foot but I'm wondering if trainers would be better with all the running in Attack? I felt it in my ankles. What do you think? (I don't actually have any trainers so would need to get some!)

We do Les Mils body pump at the gym. We did buy the kit (most) just as lock down ended but before gyms reopened as we couldn’t find in stock anywhere during actual lock down. We will likely be doing it again

I use a fit bit. I find using the larger single weight over my head either in combination squat and push over head or clean and press really gets my heart pumping and into “peak” minutes.

@TabbyStar Oh yes

And done two step classes - jeepers, they are hard! I am pouring with sweat even though I am usually doing the wrong thing

Sounds perfect

I've just bought a Mirafit step. It is great. And done two step classes - jeepers, they are hard! I am pouring with sweat even though I am usually doing the wrong thing .

BodyAttack - 90's aerobics on steroids

Thank you - yes I want the step for Step, I'm expecting to be crap! The 90s is probably the last time I did Step and I was crap then, I don't suppose another 25 years on my age will help but at least I won't be embarrassing myself in public.... It's a bit of variation on BodyAttack, which also reminds me a bit of the aerobics of the 90s!

Have a look on Amazon at their Amazonbasics aerobics step - about £40ish. It's the kind we used at one of the gym's I've been to. I bought the reebok one as it was about all that was in stock when I was looking, more expensive but does the job. You definitely need a longer step as you will be lieing on it for the chest track in pump.
When you get one have a go at bodystep - again you need the length for moving around. I wan't sure I'd enjoy step, thought of it as a bit of an 80's/90's workout but I really enjoy it and it's great fun - even when I end up going the wrong way

Hello all, I've just found you're here via another thread. I've been doing Attack, Balance and Pump since the beginning of the lockdown. I might give Combat a go again, though I feel a bit ridiculous doing some of the moves!

Can anyone recommend a cheap-ish step? I've had a look but am a bit worried about whether the cheaper ones will slip around. Also they seem to be shorter than the better-known branded ones, so I wonder whether that's an issue? TIA!
