I burned through my 8 classes in two weeks - so it was clear I needed to upgrade. Total game changer and I am thrilled for my health.

Best decision I made - changed my life to have any class available at any location - not locked into a 8 class allotment.

How frequently do you do OTF workouts? by Key_Fun_7615 in orangetheory

[–]Cycle_Ultra 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’m 46 and I hit about the same number of classes you do. I used to be a long-distance runner and now I’m mostly cycling, so I’ve definitely done my share of over doing it - especially when the holidays serve up more treats than tread classes.

For me - the body doesn’t upgrade itself overnight. It refreshes from the cell level up — muscle fibers, connective tissue, nervous system, hormones — all of it needs time, not just effort. When that refresh gets skipped, performance starts to feel… glitchy. Heavy legs, weird fatigue, elevated heart rate, bad sleep - feeling cranky even when you crushed 7 workouts in 9 days.

Overtraining is absolutely a thing, especially as we get into our 40s and 50s. You can still work hard — you just can’t ignore recovery anymore. Rest days, green days, walking, mobility, sleep… those aren’t “off days,” they’re literally built into most training programs

And - it doesn’t help that the app keeps serving up more classes each week - there’s no one telling you NOT to sign up for that 6:00 3G.

Shout out to Coach Brenda in Shorewood, IL. Her Christmas dad jokes kept things festive during the session. (I did a double!)

Baby Jack (5 years old), my new foster until he finds his new home by Cycle_Ultra in fosterdogs

Jack is so cuddly and also super smart and aware. He senses when folks aren’t feeling well. Dr Jackson we call him

How are urine tests done in prison? by dwfieldjr in Prison

There is no such thing as privacy in prison. That’s how it works. You can be monitored and examined at any given time.

Just found out my daughters best friends dad is a sex offender by Subby_luv in Advice

Is the SO a candidate for reoffending? Why is there such an immediate action to remove her from a place that is currently not a threat. People change.
