I wanted to send out an open invite to anyone considering starting Les Mills Combat in June or anytime between now and then. I created an accountability group for it and would love to link up with others doing it to help stay motivated. :drinker:

    I still have 3 weeks left of Insanity, but was planning on moving onto Combat right away after this. I will join, if that counts?

    that's great!! I'm glad to hear you liked it. I am chomping at the bit to get started with it :) What kind of results did you get from it?

    of course! I'd love to have you join us even though you are starting a little after I do. There are a few people in there that are staggering as well. One person already started this past week, and another is starting next week I believe. How do you like Insanity?

    I'm considering this. I've been doing Power90 and adding a few HIIT and extra cardio on the strength days. I used to be pretty active in martial arts and I miss it. This looks fun. I have the program, I don't think it was ever taken out of the box by the person who gave it to me. How long are the workouts? Close to 45 minutes, 6 days a week?

    In terms of numbers results, I lost 10 lbs, 3 inches off of my waist and 2 inches off of my hips, and 2 inches off of my chest (my poor ta-tas! :ohwell: ). However, bear in mind that I am 5'1" and was 111 lbs when I started. I am starting to lift heavy, so am expecting some weight back in the form of muscle.

    But I want to say that even more than the specific results, it matters most that I found something that I enjoyed doing, and that I learned to eat cleaner and just take better care of myself (I eat a total of 5 times a day, have given up most artificial sweeteners, eat more fruits and veggies)...and I found MFP as a result too, which has already educated me on fitness and nutrition big time.

    For what it's worth, the Ultimate pack is definitely worth the money--I pull out the Core Attack DVD often if I have 15-20 minutes to spare to get some good, all-around core work.

    OK, great! I'm so looking forward to it!
    I have loved Insanity so far; it's a challenge, but I think it's the sort of workout that will prove handy any time I'm up for a big sweat (especially the month 2 workouts).
    But I've always been most interested in martial arts, so that's why I'm really stoked to start the LM Combat programme next month. I'm definitely going to get the ultimate kit, as the above poster has recommended :happy:

    Les Mills Combat is a big sweat workout for sure! I only have a week and a half left and I'm much better at burpees now!

    Honestly, I thought it would be a walk in the park after P90X and boy was I wrong!! lol Dan and Rach push you to your limits! I didn't realize it was the MMA version of Insanity till it was too late! lol But I love it and I love where it's taken my fitness...especially since it takes so much more to get my heart rate up to max now!

    Does it count if I take the BodyCombat classes at the gym? I started a few weeks ago taking the classes and they are AWESOME!!! Great workout and amazing calorie burn.

    @Dharmafor1 - Yes, I believe they are about that long. I think the days a week depends on the schedule you choose. I haven't really looked at that part yet but I've seen some people mention one schedule gives 2 days a week off.

    @emjaycazz - great, thanks for that advice! I am thinking about getting the additional DVD's.

    @luisalg14 - me too! I love martial arts and even took Taekwondo classes for awhile a few years back. I'm so excited to start

    @RobynMWilson - awesome! You look amazing. And that's what drew me to LMS..I LOVE Insanity and have been wanting to get into MMA so the mesh of the two is too perfect :)

    @abenardini - yes! of course :)

    @kayla1025 - great!

    @Guamybear - I would recommend the ultimate package with the gloves and extra workouts. It seems to be the best deal. I just got my gloves last week and am gonna go ahead and get the extra DVDs as well.

    I've been doing body combat for 5 months now (consistent) and I'm not sure if I can join the group or not, lol! But if I can just PM me or something.

    I'm on day 3 of my 3rd week, should I join as well? I'll be starting week 4 when you all are starting, but I'm seriously considering getting Les Mills Pump to start when I finish this up and doing a hybrid program... So far I can't believe how challenging it is. I sweat and huff and puff. My first week, the day after my Power HIIT (day 2) I was so sore I could barely get up and down from sitting! I'm sitting here sore right now from that workout yesterday, lol! I haven't had weight loss yet, but that's typical for me when i start a new program, it takes a bit to start and then it drops... I do feel stronger and more fit though and I'm enjoying the workouts. I got the basic pack just to make sure I liked it, but I'm planning on getting the ultimate warrior upgrade

    Please do!! :) I know when I start a new routine I hold water weight like crazy so don't be discouraged. I'm already counting on holding water weight the first week I start LMC lol. I'll send you an invite :flowerforyou:
