The Les Mills smart bar arrived and I’ve had a chance to play around with it. The handle grip is the main difference. It doesn’t feel as nice on the hands as the Osso tool, and some of the movements are a little harder, but overall this is a very good substitute - especially given the price difference.

OK team, for those of you that were keen to get a speed tool but weren't keen to spend $600 to get a pair I think I have a potential substitute. I can tell right now that the grip/handle on the official speed tool will be a lot better than this but this should work for most of the bigger movements. I'll buy one of these myself to test it out but it may be a viable option. and its only $69. I'll keep you posted https://www.bluefitness.com.au/products/2-5kg-weight-plate?srsltid=AfmBOoqSFNYD6WUEJR4_IERvpVC2PLOClWn0Pupk8_L4tRD0TdAZ5NyR

This may or may not be helpful for you if you have kids.

I’d love to hear if anyone has a win to share? Big or small it’s all worth celebrating. Perhaps simply being consistent? Or Does your body feel different, can it do something you usually can’t do? Or have you noticed a knock on affect in another area of life?
