Started doing les mills body pump in June I do 3-4 maybe 5 classes a week they last an hour at a time.
When will I start to see results ? I have taken measurements photos and all that stuff just want to change my body and tone it up!?
Any advise

It all depends on your body shape and how much you have to lose. I didn't begin to see results until I lost over a stone. Be patient and work hard and it will happen!0

what have you done to adjust your nutrition as well? That is perhaps most important.0

Weigh and log your food to your calorie allowance across the week...switching to healthy option is not really a solution unfortunately.
What's your goal? Is it to lose weight? Eat at a defecit
Is it body recomposition? Eat at or just below maintenance as you follow a progressive resistance programme0 -
Bodypump will get you some muscle but not as musch as a progressive lifting program will. Pump is too many reps and too much cardio for that. Nevertheless it is a great workout.
Every body is different, and therefore predicting when you will start seeing results is hard. You need a minimum of a month for that.
The most important thing though is making sure you keep on increasing the weight on your barbell. Try to keep it challenging.
Hopefully you are already doing this. Not every instructor puts enough emphasis on this though.0 -
You should research your body type ie Ectomorph, Endomorph or Mesomorph and then you can find the right type of workouts for your genetic disposition. Body type is a set thing, but can obviously be altered with lots of hard work, but you can't change your genetics just enhance or alter them.0

My goal is to try and turn lose the wobbly bits, I always wanted to lose my final stone but I can't move the figure it's been over a month and it won't budge,
I weigh everything and stick to a calorie count of 1560 also do les mills body pump, kettlebells etc

Yeah I do increase my weights every week or when I no I can. I do keep challenging myself, the instructors are brill as they push u in every class.
I started this wanting to lose a stone but now I just want to change my body0 -

I would disregard this advice, do a web search on the Somatotype myth. It is an unscientific classification method, which can lead to one simply placing physiological/psychological limits on one's self for absolutely no reason.

Unfortunately somatotyping has be debunked as a description for one's body type. Originally it was developed by a psychiatrist obeserving people's behaviors and deeming their body type off that.You should research your body type ie Ectomorph, Endomorph or Mesomorph and then you can find the right type of workouts for your genetic disposition.

It's been less than 2 months. Realize it can take a year or more to condition the body to where you think it should be. People that look in shape didn't take a few months to do it, they took YEARS to do it. Patience.Started doing les mills body pump in June I do 3-4 maybe 5 classes a week they last an hour at a time.

Also, Les Mills Body Pump is great as a muscle endurance developer, but there's no need to do it 5 days a week. You're better off doing it a couple of days a week and then doing some progressive low rep/high weight training the other days.
