Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

Hi! I quite like Grit as it’s all over quickly but works you really hard.

I’ve had a couple of days off Burn Amplify (I think it’s called) as I’ve been back to boot camp and PT. Really missed it though, I’m getting quite addicted. Managed a run tested too.

I’m in all sorts of pain from a Hybrid Workout Heart Health I did on Monday. Can’t sit on the loo 😫

Hey where is everyone???

Tried grit tonight for the first time as I couldn't be arsed to run
Hard but enjoyed it

Eaten really well this week so happy

Did body pump 112 tonight, only the 45 min but as I haven't done pump for about 7 years I thought that would be enough

@Upsidedownrightnow I couldn't make a link work but here's the details, 'Women's Health Barbell Set - 20 kg' product number 722/5369.

I've just had a look and locally they are sold out again in my Argos so I think I just got lucky. I also heard Decathlon were due a restock of dumbbells and barbells so maybe check there too.

I might try one of the plans as a pp has, I like the idea of following a programme and ticking things off!

After 4 days off I'm back on the wagon
Did BC 80 tonight, the one where they're in the outdoors South Island of NZ

Going to try pump tomorrow with my hand weights
Any suggestions for best one to try?

upside I felt epic!

So good that I did another one yesterday. Ihave found a way to balance the iPad on a stool so I can do The Trip in the Hallway and not need the Turf Everybody out of the living room. This seems to be working well, so I might be a bit better motivated.

Im debating having a rest day today as my asthma is playing up. Suppose I could do an easy pump and keep my heat rate down, or a balance.

Hmmm.

I love watching Des in pump 112 - he presents the chest track. He's always grinning 😀 I just picture him doing the funny kids stuff in born to move as he does the age 4-5 ones.

I agree about the difference the instructors make. Dan and Rach are great for Combat, out of the "travelling" presenters I really like Reagan and Marlon. Actually anything those two do is good - they make appearances in Pump as well and they're always so cheery it makes me forget that my muscles are on fire .

I like Glen and KG in Pump. Lisa is fun too for Attack/Step though I don't do those programmes often.

I'm less keen on Erin (Combat and I think Grit) and Ben (Pump and Grit). They take themselves very seriously, which is fine because it takes all sorts, but I prefer the cheerier presenters.

Did Pump 112 this morning and might do a Balance this afternoon in lieu of going for a walk because of the horrible weather.

Just realised it was 112 of Pump. It was the one with all the calf raises is all I now!
For that plan you can also choose an equipment free option so no Pump!

I love KG too in Pump! Lisa in Attack and Step is always fun. I do so much LMOD I feel like they're my actual mates

I came on to say I have started the new Gamechanger plan with Ben (there is a beginners one with KG and a quick burn one with Rachel) i am going to follow all of the workouts on here but I also run once a week so I will stick to that but do two of the other workouts on one day as some are only half an hour... recently I've not felt encouraged to do Pump and haven't done it for a long time but it's on the plan so I did it last night... wasn't looking forward to it but I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I'm being pushed out of my comfort zone again!

I've attached the screen shot of the plan (I haven't marked off Pump yet but did 111 last night). I quite like being told what to do and marking it off as it feels like I'm achieving something!

I think the instructors make a massive difference.
I love Dan & rach for combat
Glen & Brett for rpm
Marlon is great

Other ones I can take or leave

@Upsidedownrightnow I got the barbell and weights today! Argos got them in early (marvellous!) and I had a session with them this afternoon. They have transformed my workout, it's now just as it would be in the gym. Clean and press much easier and not messing about with dumbbells that weren't the right weight for the exercise I was doing.

Very happy with them and would recommend as I think I'll actually carry on LMOD when the gyms reopen. I can't imagine with social distancing, spaces in classes will be easy to come by.

Done it!

This Thread made me feel slightly more accountable

So I did my favourite Trip.

Thanks

I do 3 strength sessions per week - usually 2 Body Pump and one of something else I find on YouTube. Always leave a day between Body Pump sessions

Really nice to find this thread! I used to do BodyPump at the gym years ago but haven’t gone near a weight since until a few weeks ago.

I got the subscription for BodyPump - which I’m still enjoying - but really like being able to try different classes too. I’ve given Sh’bam a shot and BodyCombat, and just tried first cxworx today. Wow that was HARD. I am hoping it gets easier? My core strength must be really pitiful, I’m always struggling with the core track in BodyPump too.

upsidedown

That’s very true. I always think the hardest bit of, say training for a marathon is putting your shoes on (ie actually comitting to doing SOMETHING)

Im currently procrastinating again...

Can’t go out for a run because the pollen count is stratospheric I fancy doing a Trip, but it’s 10 minutes of faffing setting up the bike and tv....

I went for the 55, didn't regret it

I don't really have a particular routine either, it depends on what I'm in the mood for, what the rest of my day is looking like (e.g. I might do a 30-45 minute Pump and go for a run later in the day, or if i'm having a rest day do a 55 minute Balance). Today I've not really been out but did the longer Pump class because we're in a flat and my downstairs neighbour was in. If he was out I'd have done Combat, which I don't do if I know he's in because I don't want him cursing my existence for that hour . I prefer doing CXworx after Combat compared to Pump.

I did combat 73 this morning - great fun 😀 then followed it with cx 14.

I sometimes do pump 2 days in a row but try not to do 3. I really don't have a particular routine, I just do what I feel like on the day. This week I've done a run, some outdoor bike rides (finally got some new tyres!) step and 1 pump.

Body pump for me too this morning. I think it’ll be release 111 but undecided between doing 55 and 45. I really love the tricep track to Panic at the Disco 😂 the shoulder track is a killer though.

Have been doing LMOD for most of lockdown using dumbbells 2.5 and 5kgs. But body weight squat track and lunge as holding the dumbbell at shoulder height tires my arms too much for the biceps, triceps and shoulder tracks! I'm doing bp 99 at the moment and loving that. But....big news I've managed to source a barbell today at Argos. Pick up on Tuesday. I'm ridiculously excited about it...

Haven't really got the space for combat and where I have got the space I've got wooden floors which creak when I jump on them and scare the dog! But would love to do combat again, guess I'll have to wait for the gym to open again.

Great to find this thread!!

So happy to have found this thread. Love LM classes and loving LMOD mostly RPM -76 is my all time favourite.
Just got some weights so will be trying pump tomorrow.

Yay Welcome! Well done for getting stuck in. You always feel so brilliant afterwards

Ah you lovely people.

I had started to lose my way a bit this week. Hadn’t done anything.

Re reading inspired me. And I have just done a 30 min pump.

Feels so much better.
