Can we make a Les Mills on demand thread?

Hmmm might have to try optimal mix.

@jerometheturnipking I feel the same- I stick to the simpler things like pump as I worry that I am not getting a proper workout if I am fannying about trying to do the right moves! I struggle to be even coordinated enough for combat.

I am totally addicted to Pump again though- I don't know what it is about it!

I did body combat today the one where Dan and Rachel were in nz. Omg. I was more focused in the nature rather than what I had to do :)

Did a 30 min body pump this morning to check it out if I could do it with my hand weights. I really enjoyed it! Just need to be careful where I position my arms so it reflects a barbell and I don’t hurt anything. Normally I’m a combat girl 😀 Managed to squeeze in an abs blast too before showering and going on a 4 mile walk with a friend. Loving the app. Running 11 miles tomorrow so will do a body balance when I get back to stretch out. Really enjoying adding the strength work and hopefully will aid speed and stop injuries 🤞🤞🤞

I
Gonna cancel the Courtney app, I don't need both then 🙌 I'm excited to look at the other stuff!!

I'm keeping my gym membership I like classes especially in school holidays (I work in education) and swimming! I'd miss being able to swim whenever.

Also a total LM fan girl. I am fitter than ever doing a variety of stuff on LM. The only reason I’m keeping my gym membership is that I belong to a lovely gym who are very supportive and I enjoy the group mentality in some classes I do there (they don’t do LM!) so when gyms open I’ll keep a mix. I’ve been doing LM for 4 years and it just gets better. The content and variety is top notch and the presenters are amazing.

The only thing I wish LMOD had is Pilates. Body Balance not the same.

Do you think you can get everything needed from the lmod app? Thinking I may cancel my Courtney black subscription now and just use lmod... but I haven't really looked at it other than pump...

Thanks @Cocacola12

@Cocacola12 Love it when you see that improvement in strength!

My spin bike came today!! I’m so happy. I did the latest The Trip. So hardcore I was dripping in sweat! Excited about integrating the bike into my new routine. I really enjoy The Trip. I’ve done a few RPMs at the gym and enjoyed that so will try that tomorrow and I only did Sprint once I think it’s more like Grit for bike. Not sure but I will experiment.

Do we think grit strength also counts as cardio? I was certain sweating and breathless

I did pump 107 again today, and managed to keep hold of the weight for the whole of that lunge track. I couldn’t even do the lunge track at all a few months ago. I’ve upped my weights most weeks and actually feel so strong now, it’s crazy! I think I’m a bit addicted to pump and it makes me want to get into weight training heavy weights.

I've been doing LMOD since Christmas and am loving it! Struggling to fit in much time with work and kids etc but am aiming for Combat or Attack 2-3 times a week and I'm feeling so much stronger already.

I used to do all the LM classes in the gym in my 20s and hadn't realised how much I miss all that energy and enthusiasm, am enjoying Lisa's vibes so much. It helps we have Roku so can get it up on the TV and turn up the volume, my main problem is low ceilings so I hit my head on the light fitting if I really go for the jumping!

Not ventured into any equipment yet but hopefully will have more time once schools reopen to get on with it. Am tempted by Barre as I've heard it's a good core workout?

I signed up this week through my gym as it was cheaper and really just for body pump cause I missed it! I also use the Courtney Black app which I really like. I didn't realise there was so much on the LMOD app tbh 👍

I've just joined LMOD! Had a horrible reality check yesterday and I need to act now for my own health.

I've chosen the fast burner 6 week challenge and completed the first workout this morning- body attack 106- and I am dying! Really pushed myself and the integrity of the floor for a genuinely intense workout!

@wishywashywoowoo70 I prefer the 4k firestick but if its only for LMOD the firestick lite should be fine I think! It just has less memory

I'm too uncoordinated for Sh'Bam and I think it affects how good a workout I think I've had - if I feel unconfident I always think I've not pushed myself as hard as I'd like to so I've not had a good sweat on. I think the last time I tried it was when I was getting back into exercise after my ectopic surgery last April.

I did the 45min Pump Remix this morning - it's reminded me why I rarely do 112 - the Squat and Bicep/Tricep tracks are not my favourites. Kylie = tricep pushups

Sorry wishywashywoowoo70 I don't know which Firestick you need, I watch my LMOD on a tablet as the only space with a decent floor in my house is the hallway, so I just squint at my tablet.

@ScrapThatThen - I did Optimal Mix Prime - it was such a good way to try out most of the programmes. I think it's a shame it's hidden away under the 'older plans' now.

@sociallydistained actually it's called Optimal Mix on the workout plans and challenges tab, screenshot attached. It's a real mix of everything, Body combat, Shbam, RPM, The Trip. Body Balance, BodyStep, with no equipment alternatives. I have some equipment so I usually just go with the order but I might skip Shbam if it comes up again because I am rubbish at it.

Next question. What type of fire stick should I get?

[quote kittykarate]@wishywashywoowoo70 if your tv doesn't have an app then can you screen share from your phone to the TV? I can on mine, but both are Samsungs so they probably speak the same language. Otherwise, get an external streaming thingummyjig, like an Amazon Firestick or a Roku.[/quote]
I tried screensharing from my iPhone with no lock ( didn't have a clue).
Have given up and am doing some combat invincible workouts from you tube now

I've signed up for a years subscription too so I need to get this sorted really.

I have sky Q so didn't really want to get anything else but maybe I'll have to get a fire stick. That's sounds like the only way I can do it

I just connect an hdmi from my laptop to the TV.

I recommend the fire stick too. For the price it is brilliant and has everything on there.
