Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

986 replies

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

@Blossom513 do it! I'd missed Body Step so much. I've loved being able to do it again. I'm thinking I might keep LMOD when my gym opens and use the studio to do Step a couple of times a week.

Attack and Combat are amazing for fitness

Interesting thread. I've been tempted to try LMoD as years and years ago I used to love going to a body step class, but then I moved and I've never been able to find one close enough, many gyms seem to do their own step class but I specifically enjoyed the LM one. So I've been wondering if I should buy a step and do it at home.

Is there a good balance release for a beginner? I want to start it but a bit nervous Hmm

I’m another fan. I do pump and balance at the gym, so signed up for LMOD when lockdown started. I’ve done a fair amount of both (I don’t have a bar, just various hand weights and that seems to work fine for pump). Also, DH and DS got a spin bike just before lockdown which normally I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole, but I’ve been doing Trip on it, which is really good - really recommend it if you have a bike and haven’t tried it.

Really good value as well - think it works out at a tenner a month, and DH and I are both using it several times a week.

I've been using them since my little one was born as had to readjust to home workouts then! Grit strength is my absolute go-to. Amazing workouts in under 30 mins.

Try Grit strength 25, 26, 27, 29, 30 and now 31. Bloody brilliant!

Body Attack is brilliant. I've done it for years now.

I've been doing Attack, Combat, Pump and Step Athletic regularly. Trying to get back into Grit but my kitchen doesn't really work for Plyo or Athletic and they're my favourites.

Some of the hybrid ones are good. I've been doing the heart health ones.

I've got some (very) old Attack and Pump DVDs too so throwing one of them in every now and then.

I don't think I would have coped with lockdown without LMOD. Making myself have a rest this weekend though.

Body attack is like 80's aerobics on steroids! Grin You can take the intensity down by modifying and keeping it low impact, they show you the options.

I'm loving LMoD ❤ I started using it once the gyms closed and did wonder if I would have the motivation to work out at home and the online classes are great. I really listen to the instructors to make sure my form is good and they say some really uplifting stuff that keeps you going. I love that I can rock up to class in my scruffs without brushing my hair 😁 Nobody is there to witness me cocking it up Grin and I can pause between tracks if I need an extra few seconds to get my breath back or change my weights.
I'm doing a real mix of things from combat to pump and even some grit. I've just added in step after I finally managed to get a decent size one from Amazon and I'm finding it fun.

Well done on your eating well Smile food is the main issue for me.

I used to love bodybump years ago so I deffo want to try it again.

So they have instruction videos to teach you all the moves (i think under getting started) but i thought it was abit long to watch and I actually just wanted to work out so jumped in at the deep end. But they are pretty good at explaining the moves anyway during the workout.

I found it easy enough to follow and I love that they do different routines which last for like 3-6mins each one so it keeps changing and keeps it interesting, I don't normally like cardio and get bored easily but I'm really enjoying these workouts.

What is body attack like? I'm thinking of trying that one next :)

I’ve just signed up, mainly for bodypump. I usually do it at the gym but have done nothing for 9 weeks!

My goal is just to do the classes regularly, I’m eating well so want to see what 4 weeks will do before I’m due to finish furlough.

Is body combat hard to follow? I’m tempted to try it now as it’ll be less embarrassing to cock it up in my garden than in front of a class of people. I’m also sort of tempted by body attack but am not sure that’s my kind of thing.
