Sorry all! Missed there was a new thread!
I saw there is a new combat can’t wait to do it

Matilda2013 · 14/04/2021 19:24

I did BC 85 today (30mins) and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Mine goes back as far as body combat 58. I did 63 this morning and I'm bloody aching I tell you.

@Mugginyouleftrightandcentre I love 77 too so maybe 85 is worth a look

MozzchopsThirty · 14/04/2021 13:04

Definitely older ones are better
I burn more in a 30min oldie than a 45min post 80 release

Does it go back that far on OD????
I think mine only goes back to about 64

Older ones are definitely better.. I don't go past body combat 78.. I like the 60s and 50s. You just sweat so much more.

I will have to look at that one as I think I prefer the older ones. Trying to find the one with speedball in it...

Oh body combat 58 is one of the very old ones.. There's a Dutch instructor.. He does track 5 and is brilliant. It's only a short 35 minute workout but I was sweating buckets

Bodyflow United for me tonight. Such a lovely release! I even managed to embrace the cheese in the meditation Grin

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 13/04/2021 22:28

I did BC 85 tonight and I think I have finally found a release to rival my beloved #77!!!

MyLifeNow20 · 13/04/2021 22:03

Pebble is that the newest one? Whats dutch style?

Did step last night, never done it before, must have pulled my knee because its so painful today and i twisted it at work too this afternoon.

kittykarate · 13/04/2021 10:57

I can't wait until I can do body combat again! I don't really miss Body Pump but BC and BA I used to enjoy so much.

Another morning, another spin random scroll down the Body Balance list and just doing one. They are getting less painful, which is positive. I also managed to walk for 45 minutes last night (though I did have to sit down on a wall for minute after about 30 minutes to get myself pulled together). I just wish walking would become more natural soon - at the minute it's a constant thought process trying to stand up straighter, activating my glutes and trying to support my hip.

nbee84 · 12/04/2021 20:45

I did the new combat 85 tonight - the 45min one as I didn't get home from work til 7. I enjoyed it, found it fairly easy to follow.

moiraswigs · 12/04/2021 18:55

I did grit cardio followed by core this morning. I was busted about 2 mins into the grit. The core I enjoyed, mostly, or maybe it was just the chance to lie down a bit!

rosettesforjill · 12/04/2021 14:38

Just did BP United in my lunch hour - love it! Like that the moves are so simple but absolutely killer at the same time Grin

Strongly expect to be summoned back to the office from Monday which will make this sort of thing much more difficult but going to try to be a bit more organised with batch cooking so I can get the workouts done in the evening. Not committed up to get up an hour earlier and do it before work!

Started this week off energised. I did step 101.. I love it.
Does anyone else start sweating profusely a minute into step.. Usually I'm sweating buckets by track 3 in attack or combat but step is like someone has opened a tap 30 seconds in 🤣

Barre again for me this morning, followed by 15 minutes of hip openers. I managed to walk 3.7 km yesterday which is a new record, and coincidentally, would get me to the local Wetherspoons and back. Downhill walking is still a bit challenging, even worse if I'm carrying something at below hip height (e.g. handbag).

Who was my dodgy hip flexor twin? Was it @Peachypips78? How are you getting on?

HermioneWeasley · 11/04/2021 20:17

Back at the gym tomorrow so can use their weights

I’ve done BP 115 a couple of times and it’s growing on me.

nbee84 · 11/04/2021 20:13

Muggin - I would have been happy with a cheaper barbell set, I've used them in a gym I used to go to and they do the same job. The smart bar is good and the weights are a handy shape to hold in your hand but they are overpriced imo. But when the 1st lockdown started it was so hard to source any sort of bar & weights and I just couldn't get any. I signed up to LMOD and a few days later was browsing round the site and came across a used equipment section - I think it had only just appeared. I uhmed and ahhed over the price (about £250) but decided to order the bar & weights and within 24hrs they were out of stock.

nbee84 · 11/04/2021 20:00

I cast to my tv in the lounge. On my bike I use an ipad and headphones.

MyLifeNow20 · 11/04/2021 19:32

I might try step then!
Oh Ive done attack at the gym and liked it and tried at home but the split room thing drives me nuts! Ive done bodybalance a few times and enjoy that.
How do you all stream? I use my laptop with earphones

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 11/04/2021 19:05

Step is brilliant - it's both more enjoyable and harder work than you think it's going to be Grin

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 11/04/2021 19:04

I would love a Smart bar but they are just so expensive, and I have a perfectly good barbell set so I don't need it! However, I have noticed a few second hand sets coming up on ebay now, I guess with the gyms opening up again, so am wondering if in a few weeks I might be able to bag myself a bargain!
