Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

I was a regular body pumper pre Covid 😢, how much is the on demand?Do you think you can adapt the pump session as I do not have any weights at home but could maybe adapt something!

Bodypump....

If the music on OD is the same as real life, then I love 109

I have to watch where I stand for pump and step so that I don't hit the ceiling lights

We have a ceiling fan. I had it switched on for The Trip. Top tip, don’t do a yoga cooldown UNDER a fan.

Oooh Love this Thread.

I joined the free trial at the start of lockdown, specifically for The Trip, and thought I’d,try combat and Balance for a laugh.

Im now hooked. My sister warned me it was a cult. And she was right. (She has been doing LM at the gym for years, and signed up to LMOD in Marcutoo)

Still love the Trip, 12 is my fAvourute. But I have to be careful with some releases as the give me migraines (#14 ow.ow.ow) does anyone else get that?

I do combat and balance in the garden, and I started pump last week for the first time. I don’t have weights, but use soup cans and milk bottles. Seems to be working ok so far.

Im looking to graduate from Pump Basics, what’s everyone’s favourite release? 106 seems popular on the Facebook pages.

I did combat 82 today too. It's my fave. When Rachel yells 'say my name' and 'play with me' I have to sing along. How sad am I?!

jerometheturnipking - I love combat 82, mind you I haven't really found one yet that I don't like but 82 is a fave.

Greenteandchives - I do it in the living room in front of the big tv too. I push back a chair and a footstool to give me a bit more room. I do some of the moves on the spot or take smaller steps than I would do if I was in the gym studio. I have to watch where I stand for pump and step so that I don't hit the ceiling lights

I've been using this since lockdown

Love body combat 66 and 78
Usually do the 45 min classes online if stuck for time.
I've done some weights at home but don't have a bar for pump

I finally broke the exercise drought and did Bodypump 111 (as I predicted!). Is there another release people would recommend with as good music as this one?

@jerometheturnipking Marlon is great isn't he? Very entertaining and motivating.

Am a big fan of les mills. Prefer it in a RL group because of the camaraderie, music and my gym has great instructors, but on demand is good too if can’t get outdoors.

Greenteandchives If I'm in the living room using my laptop I've got plenty space, but if I have to I can do it in less so long as you've got enough space around you to kick out to each side/front/back without hitting anything (for Combat obviously). Sometimes when they want you to do shuffles I just do it on the spot.

How on earth do you all have room at home to do BodyAttack and Combat? I’m a bit envious. I’d be leaping into my kitchen cupboards.

I did Combat 82 this morning - a great cobweb blowout. I really like the presenting team for that release. Dan can sometimes come across as a wee bit patronising but Marlon is great.

Wow impressive. TOTM for me so did Body Balance 76 which I actually loved the music is great but skipped the abs track and gave myself an easy ride.

What I've loved about being able to do it at home is that you can do that. Previously I just would not have gone to the class if I was feeling a bit crappy but I tend to go down and think well do the warm up then it's yoga stretches which are fine and by the time I get to the abs track often I'll just do it because I'm warmed up and I'm in the mood by then.

What did everyone do today? I tried The Trip, borrowed Dh's ipad as my bike isn't near the tv. Then I did a 45min step class and a 15min cxworx!

So glad I found this thread. Joined LMOD as soon as gym closed and have been doing pump ever since; have sprinkled in a little balance , rpm & combat but need to get re-energised.
I also bought a used smart bar and extra weights, and got a reebok step online. Looking at how to set up a more permanent workout space at home as we really need to get back to eating at the table.

@PseudoBadger my DH picked us up a York Tri bar on eBay as it matched the plates we had at home. It was £80 and is about the same length as the bars they use in classes.

I love LMOD too! Very pleased to see this thread. I signed up at the very very beginning of lockdown, as had been doing Combat at my gym. (Which I had only been going to since Christmas - I'm embarrassingly new to exercise!)

I love Bodypump, and feel noticeably stronger. And it's fun. I agree with a PP that 111 is the best I have done - the music is fab.

I do Attack, but cant say I enjoy it too much and find it extremely heavy on the knees with lots of jumping. It's a bit disheartening to either stop or have to modify everything. But it is a good workout though.

Balance is good, but I find the releases all a bit samey.

I want to try step and Barre - but I always get drawn to Combat and Pump as they're so fun!

I had a bad run of shifts a couple of weeks ago where I didn't do any classes, and now struggling to get my motivation and energy back again. Hopefully today will be the day!

Completely agree with this! I struggle with lunges after breaking my leg and ankle last year. I have to concentrate and go slowly because I wobble a lot. I can do this at home without feeling judged.

Although it's thanks to Les Mils that lunges are now my only problem! It's been a great rehab!

nbee84 yes exactly. I did Body Pump at the gym but tore my rotator cuff so haven't done it since. Still in pain with it 3 years later. Regret not sticking to balance.

Anyway the joy of doing it at home is I don't have to explain why I'm not doing certain moves. I once had a bloke mansplain to me I was doing a move wrong when I was doing what wouldnt cause me pain. Most annoying.

I tried pump with my limited hand weights when I first started, it didn't feel right, probably because I was used to using the bar in the gym so I stopped doing that one and thought I'd just do the others but soon missed pump and ended up shelling out for the bar.
I tried sh'bam when I first signed up. I did the instructional one and was all over the place, especially when you added arms in. I've just sat and skimmed through one of the mix releases and there's no way I could do that Barre is also not my thing. I do balance occasionally because I know it's good for me but I prefer to get my heart rate up and get hot and sweaty. I didn't think I'd like step but have been having lots of fun with it. I love the hybrid and combo workouts where you do a mix of the different styles.
That's the beauty of having it at home, you can try things out and see what you do and don't like. You can switch it off and change your workout half way through if you're not feeling it. If you're knees don't like lunges you can skip the lunge track in pump. If you hate burpees you can do star jumps and no one can see you to think you're wimping out

I have been doing a body balance class every morning since lockdown started. I do it every morning and it really sets me up for the day. I used to be a member of David Lloyd but I don't think I'll be going back after this. One of my favorites is 80 I love the music in it.

I was looking at my arms in the bath earlier and it's the first time in my life I've actually been happy with them.

I've been doing body pump so much more regularly (only started this at the gym before lockdown). I also do Cxworx at the gym and have been trying to keep up with this for a core workout.

The one thing I do miss is Bodyjam! Not sure it would be quite the same as we have a fab instructor! Did try Barre but not sure I'm made for ballet!

I'm loving Bodycombat. The latest release is really fun. And the Facebook group is very inspiring too.
