New Les Mills thread.

I am considering signing up to this, looks like you all love it which is great 👍 Can you talk me through how it works? How would I watch the videos on my telly 🤔

Grot at 5.45 is the ONLY way to do Grot in my opinion 😂 your body is thrown into something your brain doesn’t have the time to comprehend properly lol.

I did - it was pretty tough but rewarding. Not a lot of cardio compared to other programmes though if that's your thing.

5.45 for grot!! Madness 🤣 I got up at 6 the other day for BA but don't think I could do grot at that time in the morning.

Might have a look at game changer. Looking forward to trying bp.

I got up at 5:45 to do Grot this morning. What have I become

I'm at the end of fastburner and wondering what to do next. Really pleased with my increase in fitness. I can hold a hover for about a minute now, I know it doesn't sound that long but considering at the start I could only do 12 seconds I'm happy. I've got a barbell arriving on Monday so going to try some bodypump next week.

I do the body balance every morning and I don't like the new ones because I much prefer warming up to tai chi. I love love love BB.

I like to do my own mash up once or twice a week so today I did Tone #10 (preferred 7 but still fun), Combat upper body (the lovely scenic one) followed by the final 8 min track of Sprint, this kills me off lol. Goes so fast when mixing it up.
My legs are absolutely killing me from a leg session at the gym yesterday.

Core Nano this morning. God it kills me, I had to keep taking rests in the side plank section.

I did 88 yesterday, I'm working back down them again, missing the ones with no tai chi, so I'll take note at 86! I wonder whether they'll bring it back. Are there other changes in the recent ones, I noticed someone commented underneath it that it was more yoga-y all round.

I don't mind the Tai Chi warmups - I have a real soft spot for the one on BB#86 as that was the first thing I managed to do after my hip injury. There was a bit of a kick off about the vanishing Tai Chi on the Facebook group, with people split between love it/hate it/huh whatever. I wonder if it depends who is presenting? The last few have been Jackie/Diana/Kylie only gigs, so maybe they're not massive fans of it.

I always used to hate the tai chi, and I am crap at it, not at all graceful and often going in the wrong direction, but the coordination from side to side is really good for your brain, and also as I've got older I find it a much better warm up for my dodgy back than going straight into yoga.

I don't miss the tai chi! I always get confused with it for some reason - yoga is much more my comfort zone.

I did my first 55 minute Body Attack yesterday and survived I've had a weekend of eating and drinking way too much so needing to get back on it - I'm not far off healthy weight range now (about 6-7 lb pre bank holiday feasting) but the last stretch needs so much more focus

I haven't done much recently, I've been too keen on swimming again! I did BodyBalance this morning; where's the tai chi warm up gone though in the latest releases?

Walking/low impact BC#85 30 minutes this morning. Survived! Followed it with stretch #3 hips for 15 minutes (I'm loving these if you haven't tried them. I haven't given the full programme a go but might tomorrow)

Really loving Tone. I think having a new programme after all this time is really exciting. I am off to the gym today though. I’ve started a three day split programme and am actually doing strength training. I thank LM for finally giving me the confidence! I am in a constant state of doms so It was really hard doing my LM workouts this week 🙈 ... I have pretty much had to drop Pump from my schedule because I don’t have times with my gym days now :( I think I’ll be doing a mix of RPM/combat/Tone and & Core and the odd Step and Attack and possibly Grot (I do gyms version of Grot at the gym on Fridays 😒 )

I did tone 7 yesterday and OMFG my lats are absolutely killing me! Good workout though, like the mix.

So I actually did do Tone this morning. There are three releases now! I did #7 and really enjoyed it! I love the cardio but with specific toning and core tracks integrated. It’s exactly what I needed to complement the other things I do.
Apparently it’s a 45 minute class so I do hope they include the full releases at some point!n

Well I had a dream I did Tone last night 🙈😂 not sure why I am now dreaming about LM. I have actually woken up with major DOMs (not from dream tonin’ but the actual gym yesterday) so may have to try it tomorrow and take today as rest lol

Did tone this evening and really enjoyed it. Hope they put a few more releases of that on. Tried to do a tuck jump and nearly fell over. Made my son laugh but at least I got my knees up a bit. Couldn't jump at all 4 weeks ago when I started.

Any BC with marching instead of running/stepping instead of jumping. He said to be sensible - no high kicks, warm up properly and then extra cooldown stretching. Basically put a bit more active work into my legs in a situation where if I feel any discomfort I can stop immediately.

Brilliant @kittykarate! Does low impact mean a specific workout or you can do any BC and swap out the jumping/higher impact stuff?

Hot off the press news: The physio has given me to nod to swap in a low impact body combat from next week, as long as I promise to stretch like a demon afterwards. I'm to avoid jumping stuff and definitely to avoid Body Pump.

Injuries can be so frustrating. I had an ITB injury from running a while back and I didn't get back into it for a good year or so. It's been fine since, thankfully 🤞🏻
