I agree - it will get better. Focus on a new move each time and if necessary swap out the complicated bits for eg jumping jacks - gradually, you will be able to do more of their moves and it is such fun and so satisfying!!

Barre remix this morning- no jumping and fake echappes for me as part of my hip rehab. There's no cool down in this one which is a bit weird.

Followed by stretch #1 hips. My leg feels a bit zingy now, but nothing twanged.

I did 106 pump just now - not my favourite - I don't like the lunge track there are too many squats imo but the rest was ok. I am not a Gritter - I used to do Metafit (not LM) and loved that but the gym stopped it. I do alot of body step but do whatever the instructor on zoom is doing. I used to do attack but tend to run nowadays.

Is anyone else just totally amazed by Erin? She is so energetic in Grit, bouncing around everywhere, I love her!

Did my fave bodypump 111 yesterday, am finding it difficult to branch out! Same for BC I keep going back to 77!

@petalsandstars - it will come with time. Keep your resistance low enough that you can keep up with the cadence (though be mindful to have enough resistance on when you stand to protect your knees) Also, if you need to just sit back and pedal for a minute or so when you need it and then join back in. There are some shorter ones you can do to build up.
Try 'The Trip' - they also have shorter length ones of those too. You are cycling to futuristic scenery and listening to the instructor for cues - I find I feel less guilty doing my own thing as you can't see instructors on bikes.

I need to try some of these newer pump releases. I'm still in my comfort zone of 96/97/98!

I did body combat 66 today. Rest day tomorrow. So stuffing my face with pizza and chocolate.
I'm going to do body attack 101 on Monday

I did Attack 90... for fun 😬 what is becoming of me?! I just love the second track though.

Well I say for fun but it was at least partly driven by wanting to get a big burn in to earn myself a bit of Wine

I've just done BP 106..I try and do a different one most days and not sure how this one had escaped the carousel as I hadn't done it for ages.
It's definitely a challenge. I quite enjoyed the back track although tough, it was the lunges and the shoulders that killed me. Kylie is a machine!!!! She's amazing. I'm not so amazing Grin

HermioneWeasley · 27/03/2021 15:57

Did BLAT this morning and have spent all day in the garden so my back is aching, but my new weights have just arrived so I’ll be doing pump 114 tomorrow!

petalsandstars · 27/03/2021 10:45

🥵🥵🥵 wow, I couldn’t manage the full 30 mins of rpm. So much harder than combat - how long does it take to build it up?

PilatesPeach · 27/03/2021 07:37

ooh well done rosettes I will try 106 and 111 over the next few days - I remember pump at the gyms 15 years ago when the back track was one clean and press and one row - seems so hard nowadays compared to then

Pump 111 done! I'm not sure I will ever be able to raise my arms above my shoulders again

I discovered Les Mills when the gyms shut and I eventually clicked on the gym sent me and now I love body pump. Did 114 this morning, cardio day tomorrow 😀 so either combat or spin.

Oh Tabby I feel like such a fraud being on this thread at the minute. The best I can do is walk for 1km and then my leg just locks up and I start limping. Anyway, another morning, another 30 mins of Body Balance. I don't see me being able to do BA/BC for a long time, even with low impact options. I might bring Core and Barre in over the next couple of weeks, but that's going to be on a suck it and see basis. Pump, I have to get more all over body strength and them maybe start bringing in arms only tracks.

sociallydistained · 26/03/2021 12:40

I have no idea what release is what but I really wanna try 106 now to see what you guys are on about. I’ve done all of the releases multiple times but not sure which one it is.

TabbyStar · 26/03/2021 10:49

I'll join you kitty with my knackered SI joint. I just did some bodybalance tracks, but I can't do any jumping around for my usual Attack and Step and I'm nervous of core or pump. I've been doing lots of walking to compensate but it's absolutely chucking it down now, though hopefully it'll clear.
