Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

Are there different releases on different systems? I use the app on my tv.

OK, thanks about Mirafit - they are OOS atm, but I will keep an eye. The outdoor gyms in parks where I do my stuff were closed for quite a while so it could be useful if that happens again.

Oh - and the United Combat release in on the app for 24hrs only. I need to try and fit it in again before it disappears to decide who much I like it 👊🏻

I do pump, and bought the mirafit set at the start of lockdown which has been fine. I’d like to add more weights but they’re still insanely expensive to buy separately so I’m just making do, pausing tracks if I have to.

I used to do a couple of heavier/less reps weights sessions a week in the gym before lockdown, but making do with what I can. I don’t appear to have lost much in gains I have to say, but that might be proved wrong when I finally get back into gym and heavier weights 🙈

I am wondering about getting a studio dumbells/barbells set so I can do pump and grit strength. I do quite a lot of calisthenics but don't know how easy it will be to keep that up over the winter. Does anyone here combine the LM strength stuff with heavy weights or calisthenics training?

I can't work out how I would do it as I sometimes feel upper body for a couple of days after a calisthenics session. I do combat, attack, some grit and running on my off days at the moment.

I know it’s nuts 🙈. But I like the idea of hundreds, thousands of people all jumping around at the same time. Gives it more a gym atmosphere.

@gingerscot I'm not getting up but I've done all the live stream workouts afterwards anyway 😂 I loved Pump and Grit with Ben recently. I'll do Rach's for sure if it goes on after (but not 7am Sunday sorry lol)

@SoManyActivities when you say dance stuff, do you mean music or actual dancing? Try sh’bam - it has both and once you get started it’s really good fun. Just dance like no ones watching and you get a real sweat on. I like 28-30 best, they burn more calories for me. I need to branch out though. I think the newer ones have more “dance music” though.

Anyone done Rach’s livestream combat on the app? I did get up for the 7am class yesterday but tech gremlins stopped it going ahead so they put her earlier livestream online. It’s combat 72 which isn’t one of my faves, but it’s still great.

Anyone else getting up for the livestream 7am on Sunday? It’s the combat United release with Rachael. I am sooooo not a morning person but I’m going to give it a go. Can always have a Sunday afternoon nap 😴

I think it's great value and I've kept it running alongside my gym membership. There is something for everyone and every mood. It's proved invaluable this week as I have a knee injury and most classes at the gym aren't suitable without loads of adaptions. So this week I've done lots of cxworx and pump upper body.

Yes, nice cup of coffee a week price. I love it and especially now - at the moment I am using it to top up my outdoors workouts but if weather/covid rules/situation restrict those, I am go glad I have something to turn to this winter. Also, if the day has gone wrong or I have family worries, it is great to know I can do a quick combat class in the evening and feel better and sleep well. I think because the classes have such high production values, you get almost the same buzz as from a real life class.

No what it is £9.99 a month it's a bit more I think but I got in with that deal years ago and it hasn't changed. But it's honestly worth it! The best fitness content I've seen that keeps pulling me back... definitely worth its weight in gold for that miracle

Oh it sounds great, and it's not even really that expensive is it?

@SoManyActivities Honestly LMOD has so much content and is constantly updated that I am amazed by it. I've had it for 4 years now but during lockdown and now it has been better than ever! I have enjoyed the live streams and the new trainer videos and programmes. I have done a different LMOD workout 5x this week already there is so much variety I can't get bored!

I'm due back to the gym September 19th (membership unfreezes) and I'm honestly not sure where I'll fit the gym in because I am loving all my LMOD workouts and want to continue doing this variety. The only thing I need the gym for is spin and some heavier weights.

Thank you @Floofsquidge and @MsMartini I think I am going to take the plunge - there are a couple of body pump/body combats on YouTube (I think they have released a couple in Covid?) but once I get bored of those ones I think I am going to get it! Have just done a body combat and forgot how much I love it - i used to do it at the gym years ago but haven't had a gym membership for ages.

I enjoy it so much more than say Joe Wicks which is just hideous, these are much more fun! I don't know, I wonder if it's the music? I much prefer exercising to music, I love dance stuff as well. Is all of the Les Mills stuff to music?

Did the new Grit Athletic and Grit Cardio and so many ladders,.,, also one legged burpees. They're taking the Mick! Grit always makes me feel so good though.

Just seen new BodyAttack is on there how exciting! Shall we trying that this week.

@SoManyActivities Hi, I think it is up to three devices. I've got a firestick TV and downloaded the app to there so nice big screen.

@SoManyActivities yes, username & pw. I have it on phone and iPad and usually mirror to the tv. They do 30 day or more free trials if you want to try before you buy.

Hi, I am thinking of getting this. Can I just ask, do you access it via username and password? Can someone access it on a different device, so if I got it could DH use it on his tablet?

I’ve just done a Trip - am a sweaty mess!! Really recommend Trip for anyone who has a spin bike and is a reluctant user of it (admittedly might be a small demographic!)

No combat for me today, ran 5k instead and followed up with CX works. Made the mistake of taking my trainers off to do it - don’t recommend resistance band wood chops with bare feet 😬

Great, thanks

These are the ones I have, they look pretty much the same.

@nbee84 and @jerometheturnipking thank you!

@nbee84, do you mean those are exactly your bands? How extraordinary, of all the bands and makes out there.... . What a pain about your knee....so frustrating.

I've had a few problems with my knee lately - possibly an IT band or meniscus problem. Caused I think by a Garmin training running programme I was doing - my mileage upped considerably. I found I was ok doing pump as you are static and I was fine with squatting and lunging I was just avoiding any impact. Feeling much better this week so I attempted combat 83. 15 mins in something went pop behind my knee and I'm now in agony I've iced, elevated and taken ibuprofen. Currently applying some heat but I can't wait bare on that leg at the moment and had to come down the stairs on my bum! Don't think I'm going to be doing anything for a while [cry]

@MsMartini - those are the bands I have. I find they work fine for cx, as mentioned you have to be careful to anchor them under your feet properly. They are particularly good because you can use the different strength bands that suit you. They are great for additional strength workouts. If you do a youtube search for resistance band workouts you can find loads.
