LMOD with dumbbells

[Sammysquiz]

I’m thinking of signing up to Les Mills On Demand. I love exercising using dumbbells and have a good range of differing weights of them, but don’t own a barbell (and don’t really want to buy one due to both cost and space).
Do any of the LMOD use dumbbells? I can’t quite work it out from the class descriptions and there’s so many of them! I thought BodyPump might be my best option but think a lot of it is barbell based?

A lot of BP back tracks have clean and presses in them, which is a bit difficult to do effectively with dumbbells especially to the beat of the music. The rest of it should be alright!

I’ve not done them but the Grit series often uses a resistance band and plate so you’d be able to substitute the plate for a dumbbell.

good luck! I used it for Body Step and now have a meniscus injury….!! 😳

I do BodyPump with dumbbells sometimes at home, it's fine, you can modify pretty much everything, and there is often one of the presenters using hand weights instead of a bar.

I use LMOD - I did invest in a barbell (not their one though!) - you can do quite a lot using hand weights - they often have someone showing that option. There is a section of workouts called Tone that use hand weights which are really good

I used LMOD with dumbbells for ages before I got a barbell for my birthday in lockdown. It was not an issue.

Oh brilliant, thanks everyone! I’m
going to sign up.

I use LMOD. You can easily do BP with dumbbells. I did buy a bar bell set from the physical company quite reasonably and just hide the bar behind the sofa.
