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

Did combat united this afternoon. The part when Rach said that sounds like a war cry to me? No Rach, they are laughing at how bad I am at this! Then Dan suddenly introduced a burpee! Whaaaat! 😂😂😂😂
I started that one the other day but had to stop

I did body attack 108 yesterday - I was a bit dubious as I much prefer the earlier releases.. in the comments on the app people were saying how easy the release was.. glad I did it as it kicked my a**!! Between tracks 5 - 9 I am literally sweating like a tap!

I have been doing only bodypump and a bit of running for the last couple of weeks since I started the free trial. Tried bodystep this morning and omg it made me feel like a big clumsy sweaty oaf. And I am quite experienced in step! Just goes to show if you stop something long enough it really puts your cardio back! I only managed to follow it loosely but will try again.

Tagsisbk · 23/02/2021 23:05

Just signed up for LMoD. And also got back in to running. (As in run number 1 😂)

I used to be into bodypump and GRIT (although it was a killer). I’m incredibly weak now though so hoping I can use LMoD for a few months until classes are resumed, and so I’m not a complete disaster when they do

MsMartini · 23/02/2021 22:11

OOoh, I am going to make a note of people's recommendations.

I strength train and run, so do LMOD once or twice a week for variety and cardio.

Mainly Core and Combat - which makes me smile too! I enjoy Combat so much, I find it easier to motivate myself off the sofa to do that rather than Attack or Grit, which is the main thing I think as any of those HIIT style ones complement the other stuff I do OK I think.

Hughes2909 · 23/02/2021 19:13

I’m a spin girl but have tried the body pump and grit and it nearly kills me, I hate running but I do like barre all be it I’m not very coordinated

devildeepbluesea · 23/02/2021 18:46

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.

ilovetomatoes · 23/02/2021 18:36

Did body attack 107 last night. It was insane!!! I was wrecked!

How many times a week is everyone doing LMOD? I’m managing 2 with a couple of runs.

I find Body Combat fun and cathartic! Go for the shorter versions to start with if you're quit unfit. I have also enjoyed Bodystep.

The Fast Burner challenge is good - I'm on the final week now and I really feel like it's helped my fitness.

Hughes2909 · 23/02/2021 15:40

I definitely would try the body balance classes they are really Good at stretching you then maybe progress to a body pump if you have weights then also if you have a bike you can try the RPM or Trip class they are really hard but so worth the effort and I feel great after , tired but great, I then do the meditation in the evening which makes me fall asleep every time 😬

Hughes2909 · 23/02/2021 15:03

🤣 I literally have two left feet so cannot do the Shbam at all but I do love the Trip and body Alan e classes

GnarlyOldGoatDude · 23/02/2021 13:25

Thank you both!

I eventually managed to use a connector thing to link my phone and the telly.

Then spend about half an hour learning some basic dance moves for Shbam, before deciding it was lunchtime Grin

Hughes2909 · 23/02/2021 13:20

Hi there I usually go to my Bluetooth in my phone and it picks up my TV it’s also a Samsung one so it does work fine but you will need to pair your phone with your TV first I hope that helps

@GnarlyOldGoatDude

Hi, so sorry to crash your thread but I’ve just signed up for Les Mills as lockdown has turned me into a potato who is 2 stone heavier than she was at the start Grin

It looks great but I can’t seem to get it on the TV which is a rather large initial hurdle.

I’ve got a Samsung telly but it doesn’t appear on apps, and won’t let me login via web browser on there.

We’ve got Sky and Amazon prime TV. Is there any way of getting it via any of those?

Or am I going to have to somehow mirror from my phone?

I just wanted something easy to click on the telly, as any obstacles in my way will keep me as a potato....

Thanks in advance for any help!

I don't think you can get on Sky, not sure on Amazon. You can in theory mirror my iPad to our LG TV but it's so dodgy I've stopped bothering and just use the iPad on a recipe book stand!

I think you can get the app on an Amazon Fire stick if you don't mind spending £20-£30.

I did but it works in browser.

@Hughes2909

Is anyone else having trouble with the Les Mills app every time I try to do a class it comes up with error code 3 and I cannot get any help from customer service I have the yearly membership so it shouldn’t be a problem I’m desperate to do some classes
Yes. Given up.for the evening.

MsMartini · 21/02/2021 09:39

It sounds horrid. I hope it starts to feel better soon. Some physios doing zoom consults.

kittykarate · 21/02/2021 08:45

Pressed post too soon.. so my plan is rest, ibuprofen and very gentle movement. If no improvement tomorrow see if the local physio is open because there's no point taking this to a GP.

kittykarate · 21/02/2021 08:42

Never in my hip before, but it feels similar to a couple of previous injuries such when I did my LCL ligament in my knee at chill factor skiing and when a calf injury caused pressure on a nerve (really feels like this to be honest especially with the pins and needles and what feels like random nausea inducing pain)

MsMartini · 21/02/2021 08:30

Oh no @kittykarate, has anything like that happened before? Can you get advice on it?

kittykarate · 21/02/2021 08:27

No LMOD for me for a while. I have absolutely no idea how, but my left hip went from fine on Friday morning post workout to completely unable weight bear by 5pm . It feels like something has gone wrong in the hip flexor area, maybe inflammation + trapped nerve. #Gutted
