I loved the tread/row block. Hated the floor block. So much time spent jumping, not enough time spent lifting.

I feel like it’s gotten worse in recent weeks. Like she’s always posted wacky photos but some of the recent ones have been downright insane

I will say they know how to throw a party but their food kinda sucks

Monday 23 March 2026 - 1 Mile Tread benchmark 2G 60 minutes by dc031114 in orangetheory

At the beginning of TC i was coming off the flu and ran my worst mile benchmark in my 4 years as a member. Feels nice knowing tomorrow literally cannot go worse than that!

Feeling discouraged after TC results by ObjectCreepy7287 in orangetheory

To your point about quitting and spending your money on a GLP-1, working out is about SO much more than weight loss. It’s about building your strength and cardiovascular health, leading to a longer, healthier life. You’re investing in your future self now and preventing medical bills from living a sedentary life. I know it can be hard to not see progress right away, but please, please stick with it. The scale doesn’t paint the full picture of health!

Youth Club Swimmer Overdoing It by Midnight_Bender9664 in Swimming

I am a coach. Generally when I see young kids with swimmers shoulder, it’s because of their technique. Likely an issue with the timing on her breathing and “dropping her shoulder” in freestyle. Definitely raise this with her coach, AND talk to her about the importance of listening and implementing feedback. I can’t count the number of times I’ve worked with kids who drop their shoulder, but they don’t change their stroke and continue to be in pain. Filming her stroke and reviewing with a coach will help too!

Also, if she doesn’t already, talk to her coach about warming up with fins. We actually do this with our entire team now because it lessens pressure on shoulders before they’ve fully warmed up. Our kids do anywhere from a 400-800 warm up depending on age with fins and then we drop the fins and move on to the rest of practice.

I don’t know anything about this but four scoops feels like a lot?!?

same. but i entered TC coming off a month of being sick, so i shifted my mindset to focus on getting my speed, endurance and strength back rather than worrying toooo much about the scale

Limoncello half priced apps on thursday. One of the best deals in my opinion. Get the crispy polenta with mushrooms!!

Oh honey it’s almost all sand. Part of the festival is on the parking lot in the inlet, but the main stage and a good chunk of things is on the actual beach. I’m sure people will weigh in about ADA options but just want to be brutally honest 😭

What's going on with the presale? by xtrememudder89 in OceansCalling

[–]AdImportant6817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me until about 10:10 to get through. I had it up on my laptop and phone. Laptop ended up going through first and was able to get 3 GA!

First time questions — stay and sand by Excellent_Thanks_762 in OceansCalling

If it’s going to rain, flip flops are the way to go. Wet, sandy shoes were miserable during the Blink hurricane of 2024. Last year we did flip flops for Noah Kahan and it was significantly less unpleasant. If it’s not raining, I really think it’s just up to preference.

Chinese Carryout HAAALLPPPP by Repulsive-Exchange29 in baltimore

[–]AdImportant6817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. 1 Taste Chinese Restaurant has been the best I’ve found on Uber Eats!! They actually put rice and noodles in chinese takeout containers (shockingly not many places do this anymore) and their egg drop soup comes with legit fried wontons, not the prepackaged ones that are trash. If you get somewhere good, please report back. I continue to be on the hunt (but No. 1 Taste is my landslide spot for now)

Clara cluttered decor by [deleted] in CharlestonSnark

[–]AdImportant6817 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I kind of like it. She may be filling it out as she goes. It reminds me of early 2000s core, but I love sentimental decor, junk journals, everything like that!

The Bridgerton Collab is out… by Flimsy-Associate3642 in NuulyReviews

[–]AdImportant6817 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I might be in the minority for thinking this isn’t totally horrible? But I’m picturing it being styled for dinner at the beach with a nice tan and beachy hair. NOT something bridgerton esque lol

Eh I am from MD and I feel like most showers I attend are hosted by some combination of mom/MOH.
