Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

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

Good luck @kittykarate - it is so frustrating to have to stop exercising when you have found something you like!

[quote MsMartini]@kittykarate oh no, what does the physio think you did?[/quote]
He wasn't very detailed, but it sounds like a ligament tear in my hip flexor region. To be honest he was reluctant to do anything more than massage and gentle manipulation to try and ease things. Next week will be when he can do the big leg waving and poking to work out what I've done.

Anyway, it has eased a bit, just got to keep up with the stretch regimen and massage.

Ooh good news that your weight plates have arrived Rosettes you must be so excited.

Matilda2013 · 26/02/2021 16:31

@rosettesforjill glad they arrived Grin we have 2 sets of these now.
I've been deciding my own classes... I've done body combat x3, body pump and core this week. Really should have been 2 pump and 2 combat but I'm really enjoying combat at the moment so figure I'll just go with the flow. Still want to fit in barre and maybe the occasional balance...

@kittykarate

Been to a physio today about my dodgy hip - looks like no LMOD for me for a while, which is a bit sad.

I can't work out if it was caused by Body Pump (I'd just upped my weight slightly), doing Body Combat barefoot (because I had blisters) or just shitty luck. I'll just have to take my recovery steady.

Get better soon!

I've just done The Trip #21 - I am one big sweaty mess 🥵😆

They've arrived this morning! Now I have to decide if I'm doing another challenge or improvise from next week Smile

EasterIssland · 26/02/2021 10:08

if anyone likes sweaty Betty they've got discounts today .

@Pebbledashery It took me just over an hour alone and I’m so proud of that. I could of waited for my partner to help me but I didn’t and the fact I didn’t cry once as usually happens when I attempt anything DIY tells me anyone could do it 😂

Matilda2013 · 25/02/2021 21:30

@rosettesforjill they do tend to come in two separate packages but I can't imagine they're far behind!

Pebbledashery · 25/02/2021 20:17

@sociallydistained oh that looks great. Was it easy to put together?

sociallydistained · 25/02/2021 20:16

It’s this one: www.fitness-superstore.co.uk/body-power-sp-ic14-indoor-cycle.html

I live in a flat and my living room is now a gym too. Have my barbell in front of the tv. A step I tuck away. A slam ball and now the spin bike 😂

Pebbledashery · 25/02/2021 15:20

@sociallydistained what spin bike did you get? I really want one, but I only live in a small house and don't want to use my dining room as a home gym ha x

jerometheturnipking · 25/02/2021 15:18

Oh no @rosettesforjill! So frustrating! It'll be worth it when they do arrive :) My bar set is one of my favourite things I've ever bought - right behind my hiking boots and Sweaty Betty leggings for running Grin

I did Combat 78 on the recommendation upthread - I tend to rotate the newer ones and it was AMAZING! So much fun and the music was great. There weren't actually any tracks that had that "ugh, lets get this over with" feeling like some of the releases do.

(Feel like I should clarify that the hiking boots aren't for running, just the leggings)

rosettesforjill · 25/02/2021 12:47

I ordered the Mirafit pump set but it's arrived without the weights - disappointed as I would quite like to get started with BP once I'm done with Fast Burner at the end of this week. (I definitely ordered the right thing - double checked before contacting customer services!)

I did BA90 30 minute version yesterday - really, really enjoyed it! Will be coming back to it to do the full version without a doubt.

LMOD has improved my fitness so much. I've just been for a run and managed to tackle all the evil hills near me without having to stop to catch my breath. Amazed!

sociallydistained · 25/02/2021 12:13

@Pebbledashery

Ohh its pay day today so I've just bought a body pump weights set and bar and a step!! won't be delivered for 10 days though but I am so excited! been smashing the cardio for weeks so it will be good to even up with some weights.
Nice! My bar and step was the best Investment I ever made a few years ago. I hope I will say the same of my new spin bike too!

I did Pump 111 (I think!) Metabolic blast. Upped my weights slowly so I’m dead! Did a half hour combat remix to follow too which was good.

@devildeepbluesea

Hey there. Been a LMOD subscriber for a couple of years now. Anyone care.to share their faves? I tend to do Pump and Bodybalance, but occasionally I do Combat. I'm a Mossa Group Fight instructor and whilst they are similar I prefer the Mossa tracks for combat style stuff. My.fave LM workouts are:

Pump 108, 104 and 105 (the back track song is 😍😍). Also I have a bit of a crush on Marlon.

Combat 78 - it is EPIC. Best combat ever, I adore it.

Bodybalance - anything with Hindi squat / breadbasket. Working hard to progress with this.

Thanks for combat 78. Really enjoyed it today

@Knackerelli

EasterIssland did you not enjoy it? I did I just felt so unfit! My ankle was feeling dodgy after running last night too so was cautious. I do miss the energy of the stage but, that’s how it is at the moment.
I did like it but I think I wasn’t having a good day so I wasn’t up for moving the body
sociallydistained · 24/02/2021 20:12

I literally do everything on there except barre, Sh’bam and Body balance although I have done all of these and will do them again, just not in my regular rotation.

At the moment with no gym I’m probably doing LM 5 days a week and one run at the weekend (I don’t run much just a short one!) i do a lot of walking too but LM is life. I can’t believe my legs and arms are actually changing. I’m so happy! (I am still overweight but working to change it)
I probably did LM to this intensity (almost everyday) last time in 2017 and I had good shape then too. I do reckon GRIT has something to do with this. I do it twice a week and I just think it improves my whole fitness quicker and so I perform better in other classes too. If you’re scared of Grit, def give it a try and just do what you can. You will improve quickly! can I bang out as many reps as Erin? Nope, never! Maybe one day lol.

I just did Sprint tonight, I guess it’s Grit for the bike. Wow eee my legs are burning.

ultragroupie · 24/02/2021 16:21

I am late to the party but just posting so I can come back and read the thread.. and join the next one!

I've signed up but haven't done any classes yet

MrsTJOsbornee · 24/02/2021 16:09

Am I too late to join? Signed up to LM last November I think. It's fab. Favourite class by far is combat followed by attack and pump. Am scared to try grit!
