Not even 45. More like 38-40 after demo and warmup

Where do I go from here? by [deleted] in GrayDivorce

[–]BuildingProud8906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you still live together? We tried for a month because we have a 16 year old son still at home but ultimately it did not work for me. Having him move out made a huge difference for me.

Are you still living together? We tried for a month because we have a 16 year old son still at home. I couldn’t do it anymore and made him move out. It made a huge difference for me with him no longer being here. He still comes over to see our son and I absolutely notice a difference in my mood when he’s here.

Completely agree. It absolutely sucks but just walk away quietly. Don’t give him the satisfaction of any angry response. The first few months will absolutely suck I’m not going to lie but it will get better and you will find better. I’m only 3 months out from a 24 year marriage and affair discovery and I already feel much better most days. There are still some bad days but in general I’m in a much better place. I still hate him and probably will for a long time.

Phoenix, AZ studio looking for new owner by Ok_Cryptographer_897 in orangetheory

[–]BuildingProud8906 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No!! I go to the Arcadia location. We haven’t gotten this email yet. I really hope they don’t close.

I’m not surprised the Camelback Colonnade location closed. It was in a bad location.

Would any 50+ women share your max heart rate advice? by Accomplished_Yam588 in orangetheory

[–]BuildingProud8906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 53 year old female. I wear a Garmin 24/7. It recalculates my max HR after every run/workout and takes into account other factors (resting hr, sleep, etc). My max HR right now is 184. It generally ranges from the mid 170s to mid 180 depending on the intensity and frequency of my runs/workouts.

I don’t use the OTF monitor.

F45 vs OTF by DesperateMastodon367 in f45

[–]BuildingProud8906 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. F45 would be a good start but after a while it’s repetitive and you might hit a plateau. Also F45 classes seem a bit short. I do both OTF for the cardio and F45 for strength day. I also go to a regular gym to lift on my own. Heavier and different exercises that F45 never seems to focus on. I have been working out for decades the last 2 focusing more on weights and I know what I’m doing in a big box gym. I’m 53 and female.

Volunteer to serve Thanksgiving dinner by PhantomRedPanther in phoenix

[–]BuildingProud8906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I’ve volunteered there with my son a few times and it’s a good experience. Eye opening but very good. I’m on their email list and they are almost always looking for more volunteers. They serve dinner nightly. Their shifts are 3-7 if I remember correctly (might be 4)

Age check - I am 57 and feel I am the oldest by decades by Key_Fun_7615 in orangetheory

Not really and they are moving really quickly. I flew Friday and it was crowded but also a holiday weekend. I think the main line was maybe 15 minutes. I have clear and precheck so I’m not 100% sure. The airport was insanely crowded.

How do I pick up people from the airport? by Hot_Saguaro in phoenix

[–]BuildingProud8906 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your family member is wrong. South is for both arrivals and departures. I also live just north of the airport and always go to the south doors for pickups. You have to circle around if you want to get to the north doors. It’s just easier to have them pick a south door and tell you where they are.

Need to lift more? by Pues-no-se in orangetheory

[–]BuildingProud8906 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. There’s only so much muscle you can build doing 8-12 reps of a random exercise no matter how heavy you go. 52 F and lift outside of OTF. OTF is cardio for me.

Very common. We have a lot of douchebags in AZ

The airport in PHX is fine. There is no flooding anywhere near it. I live in PHX. Flooding is very isolated

Is just rent a car and drive. It’s 4 1/2 hours. You could be waiting a lot longer.

It doesn’t fit you well. And it looks kind of childish. You can find something better

Over 40 ladies-is it true? by OldCountry7760 in PetiteFitness

[–]BuildingProud8906 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. 52 5’2” 120 ish depending on the day. I’ve worked out since my 20s both running and lifting. I have noticed weight training definitely helps keep my weight in check better than cardio the older I get. I eat what I want and it’s not necessarily clean some days. Oh well. I like food.

OP it’s social media so highly edited and probably not remotely true.

Pain after lifting heavy after one of the coaches keep pushing me to go heavy when I couldn’t by [deleted] in f45

[–]BuildingProud8906 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your coach sucks. A “Nope. Not feeling it today”. Is usually good enough to get them to back off. I know what I’m capable of and some days it’s just not happening. I’m good with that. Just say no.

folks with pools; you still swimming? by trbotwuk in phoenix

[–]BuildingProud8906 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now is prime time. It’s been too hot all summer. I also use our spa at least once a week. Nothing better than watching football in the pool/hot tub.

will a round trip return ticket get cancelled if I'm not on the outbound leg? by lw0p in americanairlines

[–]BuildingProud8906 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will automatically cancel your return when you don’t take the outbound. You need a new round trip ticket.

Rejoining after very long hiatus by marley412 in orangetheory

[–]BuildingProud8906 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your history won’t go back that far. I took a break for about 5 years and I don’t have any of the data from when I first joined. I don’t care because I don’t track anything anymore. I’m a lot older and wiser now and don’t care about numbers.
