GETTING STARTED

Which workout should I do first?

LES MILLS+ workouts cater for all levels of fitness. Whether you are a beginner or train regularly our full suite of workouts and workout plans will help you smash your fitness goals. If strengthening and toning is what you’re after, BODYPUMP is the workout for you. If you’re keen to burn fat and send your cardio fitness through the roof, you can’t go past BODYCOMBAT. Whatever the program, there will be options to start slowly and take low-impact options throughout the workout. Check out our SMARTSTART section for advice on how to get started.

If you’re already exercising regularly and have a good base level of fitness, you might be ready to introduce some HIIT into your schedule with the LES MILLS GRIT Series.

How fit do I need to be to start doing LES MILLS+ workouts?

Anyone, of any age or fitness level can work out with LES MILLS+ and see awesome fitness benefits. If you haven’t worked out with us before, click on the workout you want to access and watch it first. We mean that… kick back, relax and enjoy the music. Once you’ve seen what you’re about to do, you’ll feel more confident jumping in and giving it a go.

For your first workout, start with just 20 minutes of one workout and see how you go. If you’re tired, and feel like you’re short of breath then that’s enough. You’ll be able to do more next time.

What equipment or preparation do I need for a LES MILLS+ workout?

Many of the LES MILLS+ workouts don’t require any equipment at all. All you need is space to move safely (we recommend at least 6sqm of clear space). All of our workouts also offer non-equipment alternatives.

BODYPUMP and LES MILLS GRIT Strength are weights-based workouts that use a barbell and/or weights plates, LES MILLS CORE requires a resistance band and weight plates and RPM requires a stationary cycle.

It’s important that you hydrate before and after your workout. You don’t need anything fancy, good old H2O will do the trick.

Can I bookmark my favorite LES MILLS+ classes?

Yes! You can mark your favorite workouts from anywhere you access LES MILLS+, and they will be remembered across all of your devices.

How do I make sure I’m doing the workouts safely and correctly?

Our technique videos will help you master the moves for each program. We recommend you watch these before you start a workout for the first time. In addition, each workout contains technique guidance from our instructors - you must listen carefully and follow all guidance.

If at any time you feel you are exercising beyond your current fitness abilities, or you feel discomfort, pain, dizziness, or nausea, you should discontinue exercising immediately.

You are responsible for exercising within your limits and assume all risk of injury to your person or property.

TYPES OF WORKOUTS

Strength Training

If you’re looking for a full-body weights workout, that will get you lean, toned and fit – fast, try BODYPUMP™.

You will need a barbell with weights and a bench, along with comfortable clothes and supportive shoes. Don’t worry if you’re an absolute beginner; we start you off with light weights and teach you to get stronger. You can even start off doing half classes for the first week. Increase the weights and duration as your strength and fitness increase.

You may be sore the day after you do BODYPUMP for the first few weeks; embrace this feeling! BODYPUMP really challenges all of your major muscle groups. We recommend you do no more than two or three classes a week, with at least a day off.

As long as you have been cleared by your midwife or doctor, BODYPUMP is fine for you to do if you are pregnant. We recommend some modifications to the workout for pregnancy; you can find them here.

Indoor Cycling

RPM™ is a cycling workout that delivers maximum results with minimum impact on your joints. All you need is a stationary bike. Tune in to some great music and get your pedals spinning as your instructor takes you on a journey of hill climbs, sprints and flat riding. You control your own resistance levels and speed so you can build up your fitness level over time.

The key to RPM is having your bike set up correctly - be sure to do this before you start. Some of the tracks in RPM involve getting off the bike seat. If this doesn’t work on your bike you can stay seated.

Most home bikes only require regular footwear, but if you have pedals designed for cycling shoes, you’ll need those too. If you’re unsure, unscrew your pedals and take them into your local cycling store - they can help you out.

We recommend you do RPM two or three times a week to get great fitness results. RPM can be a great workout during pregnancy, you may have to reduce the intensity and avoid some of the climbs out of the saddle - remember to chat with your doctor or midwife first.

You don’t need any kind of martial arts experience. The instructors will demonstrate simpler and lower impact options for every move, so you can progress at your own pace and get an awesome workout at the same time.
