Here we go. X

I struggle with Sh'bam because I'm not gifted with the dance steps. I'd definitely do the intro videos to learn some of the moves so it's not like they shout GRAPEVINE and you're left going WTF!

I am on holiday at the moment but trying to do 30 min classes most days. I actually made jt through Shbam 30 (30 mins) yesterday - was very pleased with myself!

Can anyone recommend a good yoga option?

[moiraswigs]

Yoga with Adrienne is a good option, but some people find her a bit waffly. I really like Cat Meffan, her videos are a bit more challenging. Body balance on Les Mills is good too if you haven't tried that, it's more of a yoga inspired workout, rather than pure yoga.

Thank you, I actually just did a body combat. Not done one in years, really enjoyed it! Will try a body balance tmw

The Kylie Gates vinyasa flow workouts in the trainer series are also good

Loving the outdoor setting for BP 117. Also the chest track is a killer but the song is so good!

[rosettesforjill]

Really looking forward to trying BP117! I decided to do the new Game Changer but I might swap out one of the upcoming BPs for that one

[rosettesforjill]

So I tried 117 last night and wow - the squat and lunge tracks are absolutely killer! Definitely one for the favourites list. It really felt like they had dialled it up as all the tracks felt really challenging (in a good way!). Only slight annoyance was the shoulder track as I had to keep pausing to take my plates off the bar and put them back in again

I enjoyed 117 as well. Felt the cues were a bit too late quite a few times!

I love the location for BP 117 - I miss travel so much. Oof to all the cross crawls in the core track.

In other news, a woman in the BP class at my gym today turned up wearing wedge heels (about 2 inches high). Prior to this she’s always worn hiking boots. I couldn’t believe the instructor didn’t send her off to change. She also had a full sized bath sheet as a sweat towel.

Haha she sounds bananas! And at severe risk of injury 😬

Back on it after 2 weeks off! I'd been away on a walking (but mainly drinking) holiday so you'd think I'd be in reasonable nick after walking 12 miles a day but Barre today had strain sweat pouring down my hair.

I do love their outdoor videos - did you see the 'behind the scenes' video they did as they filmed them? It looked like it might have been a bit chilly at times.

As a total contrast - as the NZ team are still under lockdown, the trainer series videos are being filmed at their homes, rather than at the 'office'. Rachel did an intro/warning www.facebook.com/100015850688198/videos/780054009433524/
