[Les Mills Body Step 91 31
Amancio Mccrae
I am really struggling to get my steps and cardio up at the moment. The most I do is walk with my little boy in his pushchair but after a while, he gets a bit antsy and I have to come home. I can walk with him for an hour and half tops usually. I have a desk job and it is really difficult for me to leave it - I do get up and walk around the desks every so often but as I am on the phone, it can be quite difficult. As such, I usually only average around 7000 a day at the moment, which is not ideal.
I have just signed up for Les Mills on demand workouts as I loved doing Sh'bam before my son as born. I also liked body combat too and these are both included. Has anyone else done this and how many steps did you find you did?
For Pump, Combat, CX and Sh'Bam, I use the 'Cardio' workout, and then later rename it to the relevant Les Mills workout. This works for me, as it gives me all the useful metrics including HR, calories and time. It also gives some useless metrics such as elevation (but I choose to ignore this, it doesn't bother me to have this information in there).
I think the question is how do you measure the essence of a body pump session? As a "cardio activity", it's an hour in HRZ 1/2/3, mildly aerobic and zero anaerobic, yet my limbs are dropping off with lactic burn!!! I don't think there is a good activity measure for this. The answers here let us record the activity like a diary event, but they don't help us measure the true activity.
You're so right! I'm new to Garmin and enjoying it but so disappointed about this. I do loads of Les mills and CrossFit-type classes and Garmin just can't handle them at all..! Really disappointing. I should have done better research, I thought they were better at this stuff but this is basic..
I teach the classes and get a little annoyed I can't track them properly. HR doesn't really help. In the case of pump, it's lifting to a big degree, but extremely different than a normal lifting session and should be accounted for properly within Connect so the overall training metrics would be more correct. Especially when being combined with the typical running, biking and swimming. I'm sure the body battery, training effect and so on isn't correct after recording the class as cardio.
I'll also hold small pump weights or use my own weighted gloves during combat (don't knock it till you try it) for a little endurance in the back and shoulders. And I'm pretty sure that doesn't get accounted for properly under cardio.
I like everything else about my Fenix, well mostly, but still wonder about trying a watch that incorporates LM into their activities. Honestly, it wouldn't be hard for them to add in the activities. Having gone to LM Live the other week, 7hrs of classes really didn't have the effect in Connect it should if it could have been recorded properly. And thus it drags down your overall metrics because it doesn't show the work you put in.
In a BODYSTEP workout you can expect a mixture of upbeat, rhythmic stepping, with squat and lunge patterns to work the legs. Combine this with movements like burpees, push ups and weight plate exercises, and the result is a fun, uplifting, full-body workout! There are heaps of options so that everyone leaves feeling successful.
In a BODYSTEP Athletic class you combine basic stepping with moves like burpees, push ups and weight plate exercises to work the upper body. If you fancy quicker stepping and the chance to showcase your rhythm and flair then BODYSTEP Classic is the way to go. There are always lots of options to get you through the workout safely.

After a stop by the selfie booth, it was time to find a workout. On the agenda was a 30 minute Grit Plyo class. A group of instructors were on a stage in the middle, with lycra clad fans on all sides. With just a step and one 5kg weight, we were led through a quick warm up before working in pyramids of body weight and weighted exercises, including mountain climbers, squats, squat jumps, burpees, and lunges to get the heart pumping. With very short periods of rest, we quickly worked up a real sweat.
Body Step is a fun pre-choreographed full body cardio workout, using a step to help tone the butt and thighs. Your bubbly and approachable instructor will coach you through the workout, with motivating hit music and a whole lot of fun! Leave this class buzzing with satisfaction.

I'm just wondering if others are using Les Mills on demand and if we could maybe check in with each other to discuss what we are doing and what our goals are etc?
I am trying to loose 1 stone and doing 5:2 but i eat too much on my non-fasting days so I don't really loose any weight, so I'm adding exercise in the hope of shifting some weight
So far I have done bodycombat 3 times this week for about half an hour each and some weights and flexibility training, but I think from next week I will be adding in bodypump
Is anyone else using this? I am really enjoying it so far
Well done on your eating well food is the main issue for me.
I used to love bodybump years ago so I deffo want to try it again.
So they have instruction videos to teach you all the moves (i think under getting started) but i thought it was abit long to watch and I actually just wanted to work out so jumped in at the deep end. But they are pretty good at explaining the moves anyway during the workout.
I found it easy enough to follow and I love that they do different routines which last for like 3-6mins each one so it keeps changing and keeps it interesting, I don't normally like cardio and get bored easily but I'm really enjoying these workouts.
What is body attack like? I'm thinking of trying that one next :)
Body Attack is brilliant. I've done it for years now.
I've been doing Attack, Combat, Pump and Step Athletic regularly. Trying to get back into Grit but my kitchen doesn't really work for Plyo or Athletic and they're my favourites.
Some of the hybrid ones are good. I've been doing the heart health ones.
I've got some (very) old Attack and Pump DVDs too so throwing one of them in every now and then.
I don't think I would have coped with lockdown without LMOD. Making myself have a rest this weekend though.
