New Les Mills thread.

I like United but I can't remember how clean and press heavy it is!

Did 108 last night and the squat track is great. Have had the music from it in my head all day though

I need a good BP 30 min for tonight
Did 115 for last 2 weeks

Like a squat, lunge and dead lift tracks
Less keen on clean & press due to neck issues

Any suggestions

Did a Barre class I handn't noticed before - Barre #A. Must have been one of the initial classes from when they were developing the program.

No joining it up into dances, very few tendus, lots of fendu leg arabesque. Also possibly the clearest 'which way to go when you're trying to pirouette'. Very clear instruction with just one person in a bare warehouse, but obviously, very few options demonstrated as only one person (so no 'If you're feeling it, do a grande battemant with Summer').

Anyway, I had a bit of sweat on, and my hip didn't hurt too much during it, so will definitely do it again.

I've the Amazon basics one too. It's grand for the price. The only thing I don't like about it is when I try to do push ups on it the ridges hurt my hands! Easily solved with a towel though.

I just checked and mine is actually 110 cm ish

You basically need a step that's about 100 - 110 cm long for it to be able to do double duty as a bench in pump.

Mine is about 90cm but I'm a short arse and willing to shuffle around until all of me is on there.

I think others have also recommended the Reebok one and there's also the official Les Mills one, although the price was too high for me.

Where did everyone get their steps from.
I've got a bench thing which is too high for doing BS and a bit crap for pump too.

I started Game Changer today - went for Step rather than Attack which I'm not sure was wise as my feet were all over the place 😂 still I kept moving and got through 55 minutes without breaking anything so all good!

I also had the weekend off so this morning did combat 74 and core 38 as day 12 of game changer. Really enjoying it so far. Then I had a massive chocolate muffin for lunch 😄

I'm switching about my rest days so they fall at the weekend as that suits me much better.

Hi everyone, I started Fast Burner today. I've been LMODing since November-ish but lack structure, mostly just doing BP when I felt like it (trying for 3x week).

Have a fantasy where I complete Fast Burner, then see my family and they are all in awe of the "new me" 😂

I'm not a Core fan! I find it really hard and time seems to pass sooo slowly. In some ways I prefer Grot...

Core Nano for me this morning. It's a pretty good core release, though i had to take some rests during the leg waving parts.

BP 114 metabolic blast followed by core 38 for the first time.

Undid all my good work with a massive piece of baklava which wasn’t even that nice.

Just did Grot 30 Athletic - it was horrible! But I really needed to get my arse in gear and I did it!

GROT strength today. That is all 😩

[quote Pebbledashery]@wishywashywoowoo70 I'm sure it wasn't that at all. Some shoes made me look like naiomi Campbell and some make me look like Warwick Davis. I sometimes think no matter how much I exercise and eat well I'm still a fatty[/quote]
Ha ha that did make me laugh.
I feel better now I'm in front of my own mirror.
Definitely need to up my game though.

Having a total face on today.
Thought I'd was doing ok body wise with my Les mills. Got some new casual trousers and wore them today. I thought I looked ok until I saw myself in the mirrors walking through Next.
Dumpy is a word that crossed my mind.
Fat cow was another
🥲

Second day back at the gym today and I am certainly able to lift heavier than before lockdown thanks to regular pump. Feeling quite pleased but definitely achy!

@rosettesforjill Well done for completing the challenge thats a real achievement! Don’t worry about full length Attacks and combats, you’ll find the time flies by and the tracks they omit from the shorter releases are more chilled anyway.

Finished Stronger challenge today! 💪🏻

I like the structure of the challenges so I think I'm going to move on to Game Changer on Monday, but I might add a bit more Pump (just extending to the full versions instead of 30 mins) as I don't want to lose my strength gains. A bit nervous about full length Attack/Combat though!

I have those interlocking mats to put down to protect the carpet from my sweat - they are pretty good www.decathlon.co.uk/p/df920-floor-pads-4-pack/_/R-p-7742?mc=8224362&c=BLACK

I've seen people use garage floor matting too.

@MyLifeNow20 I exercise on tiles and don't normally have this problem unless I start getting really really sweaty, at which point I normally get my yoga mat out (which has the added benefit of an extra break in Grit!). Obviously it would be too small for a whole workout, but I wonder if some sort of mat might work for you? Like one of those nice baby play mats if you know what I mean!

I love combat 77 30 min one track 2! The jumping and kicking makes me feel good!

I work out in my conservatory which I have turned into my gym, its a laminate floor and find my trainers always slip, does anyone else have this problem?
