Step is good fun, takes a while to get the moves and I tripped on the step more than once Grin Body attack is high energy. Core is a good one to do too. Lots love the bodybalance but not my thing, probably because I'm not very good at it!

Hi. Im trying to get back into it. Love bodypump and combat, not really tried anything else apart from grit and thats hard and dont like it!
Is step good? Might give that a try!

£75 for a pair inc delivery - they are £56 each plus £18 for delivery on the Les Mills site.

I've done pump 115 a couple of times this week - I really like it. I like the chest track and found the lunges doable with my knee.

I have a Les Mills smart bar - bought 2nd hand through their website at the start of lockdown 1. I really needed a couple of extra 5kg plates but they are so expensive. I found some 'like les mills' plates on ebay and though expensive at £75 they were cheaper than the real ones and look exactly the same, just without 'les mills' imprinted on them. I tend to need them when they swap from bar to flys on the chest track and sometimes other tracks need extra plates for squat presses etc And hopefully as my knee improves I'll be back to heavier weights and need them on the squat track too.

@rosettesforjill thank you, it's just all the crap I stuff in my face when I'm not exercising

@Ohnomoreno

I really hate the format. Tried so hard to find something I could do but it's just too hard to follow and all the lighting is really depressing. Looks cool in a studio but on screen I want nice colours and brightness.
Horses for courses I suppose. I've found the United ones and the various trainer series to be a bit brighter, and there are a few that are filmed outside as well

@MozzchopsThirty

I've lost my way a bit this week, have done nothing since Thursday I wish I was more disciplined
Thursday was only a couple of days ago! I'm sure you won't have lost anything and taking a rest is really important anyway Smile

@YeahNahWhal

Just de-lurking to share my joy with BP 115. I did the 30min metabolic workout this morning and it was fab. I love how Glen was getting distracted by the people on the wall of screens. Grin

Based on this thread, I'm going to bravely attempt Body Balance for the first time this week. And BA 100!

Think I'm going to try BP115 this week!

I found BA100 really difficult to follow because the cameras were all over the place but it might be because it was the first one I tried and I wasn't used to the moves at that point. I love Body Balance!

Did the Grot Remix yesterday and I managed to do all 30 burpees in the 30s sections 🥳 albeit a couple of sets without the jump and clap

@sociallydistained , love your post, so inspiring!

sociallydistained · 09/04/2021 14:17

I did Pump 115 this morning. It certainly challenged me in new ways and I’ve upped my weights slightly on squat, back and shoulders so I feel pleased about that. I disliked the Chest track on this one though although my upper is already feeling it a few hours on.

I also did a 30 min step. I am loving a bit of Step at the moment to get my steps in on Fitbit 😂

And this morning I am officially at my lowest weight in over a year (and after an Easter weekend no less) I put it down to LM for sure!! My consistency with it has been Key for me. The variety keeps me doing it every day and it’s been a game changer.

MozzchopsThirty · 09/04/2021 12:24

@Pebbledashery BC67 is awesome, 66 great too

kittykarate · 09/04/2021 11:39

Barre this morning for me, maybe #8? The one with the 'Single Ladies warm up'. Anyway, managed to pop in a couple of the low jumps and my leg hasn't fallen off, so that's all good.

Visited the physio earlier too, he's happy with my progress, but obviously saying I shouldn't get ahead of myself so stick with the Yoga most days, but he's very happy with me doing a couple of Barre and Core a week as they are good for glutes and core strength.

He was laughing at me describing the Stretch #1 Hip Mobility as being a bit 'emotional'

Well done to anyone who has done a Grot! I think that's off the menu for me for a long time.

I hadn't done combat for 2 weeks nearly and did combat 67 this morning and bloody loved it.

I'm definitely going to start calling it 'Grot'!

@rosettesforjill

Did one of the Erin Maw trainer series this morning which I quite enjoyed! Like a more achievable version of Grot Grin
My laughter was aimed at this 🙈

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 08/04/2021 20:23

Did GRIT cardio and core today - loved it and thank god I seemed to have retained my fitness after my weekend of indulgence, felt like I had fallen off the wagon completely!

MozzchopsThirty · 08/04/2021 18:06

I did pump 115 as it was already up on my screen
Really enjoyed it, the squat track killed me though
But seeing as I haven't done it in almost a year it wasn't too bad Smile

supercee · 08/04/2021 18:03

Well I can hardly walk today 🥴 Managed to plod through 30 mins of a BC class but it was half arsed as I struggled to get the moves and it was very fast. I didn't enjoy it all that much.

Not sure if I should continue with BP tomorrow or do a yoga/stretch one? Or step if my step gets delivered in time.

moiraswigs · 08/04/2021 17:52

I've started the game changer challenge so did BS 111 this morning. Am weirdly quite excited for tomorrow's pump and combat. Need to stop eating so much chocolate though or I'll never see these promised gains. It's also destroying my skin 😠
