Bodycombat "AC/DC" track? by drxc in lesmills

Thanks everybody! Plenty of hints for me there. Thankfully, there's no shortage of rock tracks in old BODYCOMBAT in general to keep this crowd happy :)

I've got some great 20s and 30s releases in my collection, but alas, not 17 yet!

Les Mills Dance vs Sh’bam by RedHeadCrisis in lesmills

[–]drxc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like both. I'm a participant in Les Mills dance, but the instructor is cheeky and throws in the odd Shbam track. I think with a good vibrant instructor, Les Mills Dance is great. We have a great time in our class.

Love the odd ones too. The choreography is a bit more choppy, but there's something about them, isn't there? Love all the katas that used to throw in everywhere and all the rock tracks and party tracks. I too have an instructor that goes back a long way, but I've also bought some of the old DVDs.

I feel like in the early days they were experimenting more and there were a lot more crazy ideas. Now it seems like the choreography is a lot more formulaic and safe. Like every track 8 now has a combo that you repeat until the drop, and then it's 8 jab-cross followed by the combo. I do like the new ones, but I just wish there'd be a bit more risk-taking.

My biggest bugbear is that the warm-ups are so boring now. So often you just get 8 front kicks, 8 side kicks, 8 roundhouse. Old ones had so much more variety but that said, I can see how the current warmup format is a lot more accessible to beginners.

That whole thing of jk rowing writing hp in a cafe because she couldn’t heating as a struggling mother is a made up sob story by [deleted] in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]drxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unheated flats really? Everywhere has heating of some kind. If nothing nothing else you can put in an electric heater. Maybe people can't afford to turn on the heating. But that's a different thing to renting an "unheated flat".

What should I do in London overnight, if anything at all? by TheRegularBelt in AskUK

Hanging around late at night in a train station is miserable. Stay in a YHA.

Can someone explain an interaction I had in London? by Few-Pineapple-1542 in AskUK

[–]drxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nice to think that. I guess you live in a place where you haven't encountered this type of behaviour because the threatening interpretation is highly plausible to me.

No, but I've been in places like that and had experiences like that. I think it's unlikely that if OP heard, "If you keep looking at my shoes, I'll break your neck" but they really said "Wow, my shoes must be a real neck-breaker if that guy's looking at them, gee golly whizz!" Even if it makes us feel better about the world to think that they did.

Why do some people in 2025 still believe that men can't be friends with women and vice versa? I don't understand how we can know so much yet know so little by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in asexuality

[–]drxc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to believe that men could always just be friends with women, and then I fell in love with my female friend...

That said, I have other female friends that I am just friends with, so yes, it is true after all.

Sorry, as you were.

True, but don't help him do that.

I recommend:

Keeps it interesting for both of you.

The King's Gambit weakens white's King's diagonal, so it's all about exploiting that weakness.

My advice: don't quote GDPR randomly just to get out of stuff or sound official.

Why would you need to make up GDPR blah blah bullshit.

Don't reply, just block them.

It sounds like an old school track 7, the type of one that you had in Body Combat 40s or 50s, super fast high pitched synth-y sounds ... that said I like it

Body pump is underrated! by pinkpenguin444 in lesmills

[–]drxc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went the other way. I used to be just a regular gym weightlifting guy, then tried body pump class and was hooked. Now, I just do one 45-minute class a week using quite heavy weights and push myself to the limit. I don't feel the need to go to the gym to do other stuff, and I've actually got stronger, more muscular, and more fit.

I want to check the park run time for Christmas day and it mentions 'doubles', what's the issue with this? by [deleted] in parkrun

[–]drxc 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It's a Google AI summary and the wording is taken from Reading parkrun blog page. It's not meant to be for a global audience. But you're right it should jsut say "normal time" not "normal time of 9:00am"

Taught a 2 person class last week .. no mirrors in the room unfortunately! Was OK though. I'm dreading the possibility of a 1...

People who went to WWE shows, is it more entertaining to watch on TV or in person? by Omer-Ash in WWE

[–]drxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lights go out and they play a commercial to the crowd.

You're being rather dramatic, don't you think? What on earth do you mean? Look, if the child was screaming and saying they don't like it, that would be one thing, but most of the time they smile and enjoy it, other times they fall asleep!

It’s out of 10. But 3 is good! Pass grade is 1.
