Did combat number 69 this morning for 30 mins. I read somewhere that it was beginner friendly, got on ok, with a bit less flailing around. Then did a short body balance as my cool down. Feeling a bit more positive today about my Les Mills adventure but guilty, like I'm cheating on Heather! Going to try body pump on Monday morning.

It's good to take it easier some days, listen to your body. I've just done a recovery ride today, based on my heart rate, and kept it at 75% or lower.

Take care of yourself Pebbledashery.

Be kind to yourself, and for the next week only aim at 30 minute workouts, so you achieve your daily goal and don't over tax yourself, you might be coming down with something or are taking a beating because tree pollen season is creeping in.

Anyone else ever find their workout tough in certain weeks. This week has been so bad for me. I feel so fatigued. Given up half way through body combat this morning could only manage 30 minutes.

Attack 105 is one of my favourites. I walked my way through the first three tracks of 102 today as I've knackered my back again (old injury come back though too much sitting I think). At least I did something, though I'm not really walking properly the exercises seemed okay for some reason.

I don't care what anyone says. Body attack 100 is the best 😁. The end.

@sociallydistained that's a great result. I need to lose two stone so I am hoping the fastburner will help with that.

Welcome @moiraswigs - don't worry about combat- I was useless the first few times but I'm getting into it now. I found doing the beginners sessions for each different class helpful. Also do the same class over again a few times. I agree with the others- doing it at home is good because no one sees you looking like a prat when you are learning.

Love the idea of someone getting all hench in prison with LM classes 😄

I misread that as you saying you did LM classes in prison

To be tough on criminals they could make them do 2 x GRIT every day. That would teach them! Well mainly teach them to be able to outrun coppers, but you know...

oneglassandpuzzled · 18/03/2021 15:15

I misread that as you saying you did LM classes in prison, Blerg and was impressed at how enlightened the establishment must have been.

Combat is probably still my favourite, though I also like Balance, Pump, Grit (some of it) and Attack. I've made a makeshift step from my two largest weights and can do some sections of Step on them without too much risk of injury. If I keep on enjoying it, I may have to buy a proper step.

I am going to have a dilemma as to whether to go back to the gym now I've found so much stuff on LMOD that my gym, even pre-Covid, couldn't provide. I think I'd end up paying for the gym and LMOD and can't really justify it. Hmmn.

Blerg · 18/03/2021 14:38

Hi everyone, I’ve love to join too. I did LM classes in person years ago and got very fit. Have had On Demand for ages but only using occasionally.

Last week I started cycling through Pump, Combat and Sh’bam every weekday - so 5 a week. Only 30 mins as wfh and also really unfit.

These are the only three classes I’ve enjoyed before. Barre isn’t my cup of tea and Body Attack is a bit frenetic for me. Hoping to be able to do Grit one day!

Where did I get Jill from ?!!

@OverByYer

Are Jackie and Jill mother and daughter?

Thanks @kittykarate that’s helpful to know. Thought I was missing something when I couldn’t see them.

OverByYer · 18/03/2021 14:22

Aww I love Bodybalance and do it 2-3 times a week as well as run. Everything else looks really hardcore.

rosettesforjill · 18/03/2021 14:22

@moiraswigs

Ha ha *@rosettesforjill*, I have considered jumping right into a Grit........bad idea? Grin
I don't think it's a bad idea if you're used to HIIT! They're full on but you get a pretty incredible buzz after Smile

Spencermoon - LMOD doesn't have all of their old workouts online unfortunately. Something to do with music licensing, the original releases they would not have licensed for online streaming, only for performance in gyms and DVDs.

At some point (2009?) they swapped over from original music to 'Les Mills Originals' (cover versions) to make the music licensing simpler.

spencermoon · 18/03/2021 14:00

Can I join you too? I’m in week 2 of the game changer challenge and really enjoying it - maybe enjoying is the wrong word at times though! Grin

Quick question - how do you access any of the ‘older’ workouts? It only seems to go back so far when I look at what’s available.

moiraswigs · 18/03/2021 13:55

Thanks all, really appreciate it. I might try again tomorrow and see how I get on.
