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

Yes classes are much easier to fit in. I am doing the fast burner to start me off and there's always a spare half an hour.

My core is hurting after yesterday- in a good way!

MsMartini · 14/02/2021 10:05

Yes, sign up for an alert - they are never in stock, but I got an email later the same day.

@Matilda2013, yes and I like being able to plan classes around how I feel rather than planning me around classes......

Matilda2013 · 13/02/2021 23:45

@Pebbledashery I'd put your email address in for a notification of stock! They're always back in stock within a few days

Bc83 here today. Really tough release, love the music though makes it go quicker. I love track 6

Pebbledashery · 13/02/2021 23:08

Ah mirafit sold out :( typical.

rosettesforjill · 13/02/2021 18:04

@MsMartini

The variety is soooooooo good. I am not sure I will go back to a gym for classes.

I got a studio barbell set from Mirafit which are under 100 quid - they always show as OOS but I did the email me when in stock thing and got an email (and a set) that day. Not quite as easy to use as the LM ones which my gym has but I've managed fine with them.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've signed up for an alert 🤞🏻
Matilda2013 · 13/02/2021 17:52

My gym was sociable if you wanted it to be but I much prefer the classes being available when u have time rather than working round their timetable. And I was never brave enough to try classes on my own so this is much better Grin
@TabbyStar I always took the options during the plank track on cx. Can't do the whole track not on my knees! I just didnt care Grin

TabbyStar · 13/02/2021 17:16

I stopped doing classes at the gym, as although my cardiovascular fitness is good, I have various injuries that mean I have to adapt quite a lot and I don't quite have the confidence to brazen out doing something different from everyone else, so it's perfect for me and I'll definitely keep it. I've even just bought some resistance tubes for CX Worx, which I wouldn't do in a class because of being so crap!

MsMartini · 13/02/2021 16:44

@Matilda2013, they are good, aren't they, and so much cheaper. And yes, I also love the way if I have an hour to spare, I can set up, do a 45 min class and be in my own bath straight after. I may go back for the social life (my gym was very friendly!) and structure but though the instructors there were good, they rolled the same classes out more or less over and over again and with 20/25 people in a class, you didn't get a lot of attention.

Matilda2013 · 13/02/2021 15:56

@MsMartini we now have 2 of those mirafit pump sets! They work perfect and not too expensive.
I do more than I ever did at the gym and probably won't go back.

It is so fun isn't it? Such a lot of variety.

EasterIssland · 13/02/2021 07:58

I joined for balance and shabam 3 weeks ago and this week I’ve mainly done attack and combat Confused this is changing my life Grin

Matilda2013 · 12/02/2021 22:08

I've been trying to do 5 x 30 min classes per week and have managed five weeks so far. At first was mostly doing a mixture of BP, CX and Barre but have now found a love for BC! Very surprised as I'm not a cardio type. It's so hard trying to pick which classes and still try rotate through all the ones I like.
Need to give attack more of a go. Haven't done Barre half as much recently. Feel like my body needs Balance.. It's never ending and that's without any grit/step/bike stuff Hmm
I'm very new to this enjoying exercise. I've always done it but now I'm liking it!

Peachypips78 · 12/02/2021 20:03

Can I join? I used to have LM online and stopped it but have just started again 2 stone heavier. Angry

I'm doing the burn programme to start me off. It's changed a fair bit since I last did it all! Was jumping around the kitchen like a loony leprechaun to attack.

My fav was body pump and I have all of the weights. Made me feel powerful!

Pebbledashery · 12/02/2021 19:47

@sociallydistained will try it then. Was reading the comments on the app and people said it wasn't challenging etc.. The presenters weren't sweaty either.. But I remembered.. They are fit... And I am... Not!

sociallydistained · 12/02/2021 19:43

I did 108 just the 30 min one so far and I was dead... 😂

Pebbledashery · 12/02/2021 19:20

I did body combat 76 this morning, Marlon literally preaches throughout. 😂
Has anyone done body attack 108? Did you get much of a sweat on?

Cocacola12 · 12/02/2021 18:39

Did BP 111 today - OMG i can’t believe I’ve never done it before. Definitely a new favourite! It’s definitely slightly easier than other releases I’ve done. Music is good.
I love that Dan and Rach clearly have a lot of respect for each other to be able to work together so closely after divorce. I really love Rach she seems so nice. I also love Kylie - shoulder goals !

sociallydistained · 12/02/2021 14:16

Haha yeah I find Ben more fun in Attack.
In BP 110 (the outside in three beautiful setting one) Diana is proper flirting with Marlon 😂 I also did the body balance in that setting and it to was Diana and her mum and you could totally tell the mother daughter relationship with small little digs at each other

... can you tell I haven’t seen a lot of real life people for a whole? 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️

jerometheturnipking · 12/02/2021 13:20

I definitely have to be in the right frame of mind for Grit - which usually means I don't do it! I'd do a 30 minute BA over Grit.

I did the 45 min new Attack release today. I think at the moment I'm going to need to keep the 55 minute vids for the weekends when I've not got the kid's school work to fit in as well as my own work. Those extra 10 minutes really make a difference Grin

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the presenters as friends. Erin took a while to grow on me too - she can come across quite serious I think. I think the releases where Ben does BA helped me get on with him a bit better - he can be really serious in Pump and Grit, but when he's with Lisa she softens him a bit. It sounds ridiculous, I know!

kittykarate · 12/02/2021 11:35

You can do pump with dumbbells/hand weights if you already have some. Though admittedly they can be as hard to find in stock to buy as a barbell set. The step is a nice to have with BP, it just adds a little bit in that you have to work to stop your elbows going below the line, rather than the floor doing it for you.

Grit - grit is definitely worth it if you're time pressed, but you know, pretty full on and knackering.

HermioneWeasley · 12/02/2021 11:09

@Pebbledashery you can do pump with hand weights and step is optional.

Pebbledashery · 12/02/2021 10:57

I haven't tried Grit.. Is it worth it? I only do body combat and attack and body balance at the moment. Want to do body pump but need to invest in all the equipment.

rosettesforjill · 12/02/2021 09:19

DD woke up at 5am and wouldn't go back to sleep so I put her in bed with DH and went downstairs to do Bodystep. Feel great but Brew required now!!
