Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

I wanna do step but I'm worried about impact... it damages my back if I do too much of it so worried ii'lll end up injuring myself

I struggled with doing cha cha cha ha. Didn't realise how uncoordinated I was. I think I can only do step twice a week max, the burn was unbelievable in my legs!

Step has taken over as my favourite from Attack. I bought a second hand Reebok step from eBay for the width that some of the others don't have. Some of the coordination was challenging to begin with, but I think I'm mostly sorted now.

Oh my god, I did body step 100 this morning! it was amazing! i'm hugely uncoordinated but was such a good work out and literally the sweat was something else!

I really enjoy Bodystep athletic over the regular one. The stuff they do when they incorporate weights is really good.

Why have I not see the nano releases?!

I did bp nano this evening. Didn't love the music at all - and for me the music is one of the big things I like about Les Mills and what pushes me through a workout. I liked the chest track and with the short set with a barbell, there is the potential to go heavier so I will try 15kg next time. I also liked the bi/tri combo track - probably because it wasn't too hard so very 'do-able'
I also did half of the grit nano - I have to make adaptions due to my knee injury and by halfway I was having to adapt every move so I gave up and did a combat upper body, but the half that I did do was good.

Sorry to tell you @Peachypips78 that there is still some jumping in strength. If you’re after cardio without jumps have you looked at Attack and Shbam?

@HermioneWeasley what is grit strength like? I hate jumping due to big boobs and bad pelvic floor so have avoided Grit for now- but is strength more like extreme Pump?

@wishywashywoowoo70 I started it then hurt my hip so didn't get past the first week, but it is really good. When I'm better I'm going to start again.

Anyone else done the Fast Burner challenge. How did you find it and were results good?

Did grit strength 25 this morning - I think it’s my favourite of the Grits so far.

BP nano music sounds awful but might give the nano grit a try

My step is pretty much the same as yours Pebbledashery but from a different no-name brand. It's more than fine for step, but depending on your height might be a little short to act as a bench for body pump. I do a certain amount of skooshing around when I've laid down to make sure all my important bits are on the step.

Amazon basics one is pretty much the same as what I have just different brand 😊

Thank you both !

I have an Amazon Basics one which is cheap and cheerful! I'm sure more expensive versions will be better though

I went for this one

There was an offer on last week with the step and barbell and weights which I snapped up.

The barbell and weights are on pre order though but the step arrived today. If looks quite neat.

Hehe ill try tomorrow then. Was initially going to use the step for body pump but I now have an additional use for body step 👍

I am incredibly uncoordinated (Sh'Bam is absolute carnage for me) but I manage to get enough of it to get a good workout. With some adaptations where necessary!

I do body attack.. But I worry I won't be coordinated enough for body step 🤣. I'll give it a go tomorrow. It looks like a good workout.

Does anyone do body step?, I got my step delivered today.. My weights and bar will come later in the week. Was going to try body step tomorrow..

The physio said pretty much the same to me 'feels like a hip flexor tear or ligament damage' but he wasn't able to diagnose further. Honestly, mine has improved so much over the past 10 days, and I just need to keep reminding myself or I'll get a bit glum.For about a week I couldn't stand up long enough to wait for a kettle to boil without lightning bolt pain from the gods, and climbing stairs was kind of an all fours bear crawl affair. Now I can stand up for whole minutes at a time. I've been doing self massage using some golf balls in a sock and heat packs on the hip, and also doing some really tiny stretches.

I think mine is a hip flexor slight tear or strain, or ligament damage. I did it four weeks ago and it's just in the last two days improving a bit. Hope yours gets better soon!

Aw @Peachypips78, we're two hobblers together!

I'm not sure what did mine in - could have been a slip or trip or just getting old. I do naturally have very tight quads, so maybe they've been giving it too much oppositional pull.

I did a bit much yesterday (changed the quilt cover!) so I'm very sore today. I haven't even tried walking outdoors yet, the stairs are enough of a challenge for me.

Funnily enough @kittykarate I have also got something wrong in the hip flexor area. I did it running which is why I started doing Les mills again instead.

I saw the physio on Fri and I am doing stretches, clams and raises. She said squats and lunges are ok if you are careful but to stay low impact.

I find that it's worst when I get up in the morning and I'm quite stiff. I limp when walking and it's worse going downhill!
