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

nbee84 yay! How lovely!!

I did combat 82 followed by cx 35 abs blast tonight. Was about to do bb deep stretch when my ds and grandson facetimed me - my grandson won! He's 8 weeks old now and I'm finally going to meet him on Saturday Grin

I have been thinking about joining LMOD and this thread has spurred me on.

I do Pump at the gym and hate it, but God - I am missing it now and all my lovely muscles have turned to flab.

Struggling to motivate myself this week. I did Body Pump this evening, can't remember which release already (Blush). It was when they were randomly in the mountains. Did not help my motivation at all!

I’m loving it also and I’ve signed up for 3 months during lockdown. I’m not a gym person, more of a runner but my sister got me into it and it’s brill. I’m an ex dancer so I’m loving barre and runners hybrid one....I enjoyed body attack (think it was 104) though it is very full on.....I want to do more combat too but need to try an intro one. I’ve also done the contemporary and house dance sessions with Gandalf which I loved, short but great.....sh’bam makes me feel a bit silly when I tried to do it but l will give it another go! Love being able to do classes anywhere anytime at home and will definitely keep it up

I did Grit Strength followed by a 15min CXworks ab blaster. I think I'll be feeling it in my core tomorrow!

Boopear I find they track well in my Apple Watch. The class names aren't there so I just do Strength for Pump, Martial Arts for Combat, Core for CX, HIIT for Grit, Yoga for Balance. The calorie burn estimates on the LM website are I think the very top end of what you'd burn. Grit is advertised as burning "Up to" 400 calories in a half hour session, my watch, which knows my height and weight, says I burned 235 calories based on those, my HR and movement.

Does anyone use a Polar Ignite to monitor their Les Mills sessions? I'm in the market for a new smartwatch/fitness tracker and Les Mills seem to be really promoting the Polar Ignite. It seems to fit the bill for me in general, but I wondered how good it was at specifically monitoring LM sessions..?

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 11/06/2020 15:42

I've done RPM today and then a BodyBalance specifically for cyclists - the stretches in that were amazing. 😍

Abraid2 · 11/06/2020 10:45

I’ve done Grit strength! All I will say is that it was short and I didn’t have time to check how long it was taking because I was trying to keep up! Good luck’

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 11/06/2020 09:14

@NotGenerationAlpha - me too! Usually do balance but I'm thinking I might give it a try!

NotGenerationAlpha · 11/06/2020 08:55

You guys are making me want to try Barre now. It sounds like it's something for me. I carry my weight on my lower body and also have hurt me back in my 20s. I like a core and lower body workout.

jerometheturnipking · 11/06/2020 08:28

I'm wanting to get my workout done quickly this morning, so going to try a Grit Strength video this morning. Wish me luck Grin

It is torture flouncy but done in a very friendly, wholesome Kiwi way. For your own good

Im sure we could adapt that as a Tagline tbh. Im sold.

*God not Got

flouncymcflouncerson · 10/06/2020 16:20

I didn’t do Barre last light but did attempt it today as I’m pretty tired and wasn’t feeling able to manage a combat class. Got for only a 15 minute class that killed!!! I did it barefoot which wasn’t so fun either and also in my pjs...not my best move!

flouncymcflouncerson · 09/06/2020 22:24

I suspected as much @nbee84. I’ve not managed Barre yet tonight either...I did do some pelvic floor exercises though 😂

nbee84 · 09/06/2020 18:31

In that case flouncy, you're probably right to avoid cxworx without proper advice. Well done on your combat, hope you enjoy barre when you do it 💪

flouncymcflouncerson · 09/06/2020 18:15

Abs and obliques??! Jesus you’ve made it sound like torture now! I’m done my combat and shower. Dinner is in the oven and my swanky new Apple Watch tracked my workout!

I’m not so sure I’ll manage, I’m not supposed to do crunches and the like due to massive pelvic floor issues, think womb dropped out of my body and then hysterectomy, cervix tacked to my spine with mesh and a remaining bladder and bowel prolapse! One of the reasons I can’t do bouncy bouncy things like attack!

nbee84 · 09/06/2020 17:48

Cx#24

MozzchopsThirty · 09/06/2020 17:05

Is it barre 24?? Or CX works24??

I think I'll run tomorrow, easier Grin

nbee84 · 09/06/2020 16:19

Even shorter 😄 9:54 #24 Abs & obliques

flouncymcflouncerson · 09/06/2020 15:39

The 20 minute one? That’s all I’ll be fit for after combat! Waiting on a parcel then I’ll be starting my afternoon combat. New Apple Watch is charged, on and ready to go!

nbee84 · 09/06/2020 15:28

Mozzchops and flouncy, just to clarify, it's the short version of 24.
