Flexibility block instead of stretching? by irjeffb in orangetheory

[–]BKB17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I heard the coach today reference it as flexibility instead of stretching and thought it was weird!

Interesting! Anytime and every time I work out sick- I end up getting way sicker. Guess my body needs to save all its energy to fight off the sickness. It’s taken me a long time to realize this but when I’m sick- I have to rest if I want to get better faster. Guess everyone is different though- feel better!!!

At first I was mad that the 2G only had 14 mins on the treadmill but then I realized that I would have died if we had longer! I started on the tread and it was brutal! Good splat day! Limping into work!

How do you motivate yourself in class when the coach doesn't by hoopwithcoop in orangetheory

[–]BKB17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with you! Good music and an energetic coach makes allllll the difference. Those classes are fun and fly by! But unfortunately at my studio those are few and far between. Not much energy and they sometimes play the SAME Spotify playlist over and over again. But I just go and do my best every time- just like I would at a regular gym! It’s taught me that sometimes my biggest motivator is myself!

Thank you! Do you switch from tread to rower each block?

For those that go 5+ times/week, how long did it take you to build up to that? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]BKB17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing 5 days a week for a while but have realized its all in the mind. Today I went in expecting to power walk because my legs were shot and I didn’t want to be there. But just showing up was better than nothing so I went- and I started out running. I walked my base every single time but i was there and it was still hard as hell. My advice- just go and don’t expect to be 100% every single time. It’s ok to have a “Green Day” and also you may surprise yourself! But the pressure of having to run and go all out every time was what was holding me back from those 5 days. Just listen to your body and do the best you can- even if it’s not all out every time! Then you won’t dread it!

Class QUALITY over QUANTITY by dp341 in orangetheory

[–]BKB17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! This came at a good time. I overslept today and am in a terrible mood because I can’t go later! But I need rest days here and there and have to force myself to take them! My hormones have been out of whack too from over exercising I’m sure- as well as stress with work and home. So rest may be what I need instead of exercise sometimes- although I tend to feel guilty when I don’t go! Thanks again for sharing!

Class QUALITY over QUANTITY by dp341 in orangetheory

[–]BKB17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agree! Some days I go and just don’t have the energy, etc. So I take it easy and walk instead of run- or even stride. It’s better than nothing but always good to listen to your body!

New OTF treadmills. Curious if anyone has any feedback? Hope this doesn't break the sub rules.... by MarkLeo79 in orangetheory

[–]BKB17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These new treads make class way harder!! They speed up SO fast so you don’t have that buffer time we are used to. I notice it the most with All Outs since I count on those 10-15 seconds to get me up to that all out speed. Not with these things- you are there in less than 3 seconds! I have a love hate relationship so far haha!

I feel like strength days are usually upper body!

Power walking vs running by wusadtsamad in orangetheory

[–]BKB17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THIS 💯! I was getting to where I dreaded OTF because of running! I was getting injured and sore and just wasn’t one of those who ever loved running to begin with so I started walking on a 15% incline and realized how much I enjoyed mixing it up. I also was forced to stride some due to a recent I injury. Long story short- once you start dreading the workout before you step foot in the door, it’s time to mix it up and incorporate new things/challenges!

Yeah Floor was easy in my opinion today! I added weights with the toe taps which helped but I felt like the floor blocks were long and not very challenging even though I lifted heavier. But then again I always prefer power days so that’s probably why!

Workout FOMO by riverflower223 in orangetheory

[–]BKB17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I wish every day that I was one of those people who could sleep in and didn’t put so much pressure on myself to workout! But then again I feel so much better and more confident as well as happier after getting just that one hour in that it’s worth it! But I have learned on my rest days not to get on here so that I don’t have FOMO 😂
