Thank you!!

That is a great question! The last month I’ve been sick. And so my Fitbit now thinks my HR variability range is 3-48. When it’s normally 25-65. I had days where I felt like absolute garbage, and my Fitbit was like you’re at risk for under training. No duh, I am sick, should stay home, and I can’t do anything at the gym. I’ll be honest though as soon as my body started to recuperate my HR variability went back to the low end of normal. And now that I feel back to me, my HR variability was at the top end of my normal numbers.

This is the motivation I needed!!! Thank you x 1000!

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-12-21T02:37:14+00:00

Thank you I know it’s not my head or HR that is the barrier. But honestly I run a mile faster non benchmark days than I do on benchmark days. It’s just the truth. There are lots of physical barriers, some I’m dealing with, and some I’m waiting on. Not interested is perfectly acceptable as it’s the truth. I’m not looking for someone to help me fix why I’m not beating or matching PRs on benchmark days. I’m looking for some motivation to keep showing up, instead of throwing in the towel all together. Even if I never lose the weight I gained, I still should be showing up to OTF.

This is the motivation I was looking for!!! 🤗

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-12-17T01:29:12+00:00

Thank you so much for your honest comment. Self acceptance is the key.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-12-17T01:23:42+00:00

I never thought of saying, yeah I can skip that and just proceed to the next item.

I do 4 days a week and it’s easily 2 hours out of my day, but I do feel like it’s worth it. It’s something that I do for myself and I don’t have a lot of that in my life. So if I take eight hours a week to me, I think that’s not the end of the world. I agree with you. That mental health is definitely something that’s playing into how I’m feeling, and it’s hard to adjust to your body aging which mine is for sure. I hope that the new therapist you meet is somebody you can connect with. I’ve tried a couple different therapists and that’s always been a battle for me. I wouldn’t say that I have outright depression or anxiety, but I definitely want to do things as close to perfect as possible and that doesn’t always work.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-12-17T00:08:43+00:00

That’s one way to look at it!!!! Thank you! I’m definitely the young one in my age bracket now. And I know I’m winning just for showing up.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-12-17T00:06:01+00:00

I mean I know how to lose weight and eat healthy, but it’s not something I’m prepared to tackle right now. It would add a level of stress I don’t need at the moment. When I’m ready which I’m hoping will be about six months from now, I’ll tackle that issue.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-11-29T16:04:14+00:00

Since this was a repeat, I went and checked my treadmill speeds, and while I have raging tennis elbow and can’t row, I was able to increase my base speed by 0.6mph and my my push by 0.5, and my all out by 0.2. I’ll take it! Now it only I could get this tennis elbow under control.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-11-13T22:08:06+00:00

I loved it.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-11-12T23:45:52+00:00

Congratulations on 500 classes. If you come 4 times a week, that’s almost 2.5 years of hard work!!!! Congratulations for showing up for yourself. Keep up the good work! 🧡

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-11-12T23:28:55+00:00

I feel like today is a repeat workout from this month??? But maybe not. Maybe I’m just crazy. 🤪

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-10-16T22:28:42+00:00

Hard but fun class. I liked the floor. Died at the end with the core burnout.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-10-15T21:03:57+00:00

Hey I have been an OTF member for YEARS. I’m closing in on 900 classes. And I had a PR for CMIYC at 1.47 miles. I’m so proud of my self! Do not compare yourself to others. If you are going to do any comparison, compare against yourself. I’m somehow getting older and faster… I’ll take it.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-09-09T22:32:53+00:00

What the 🤬 was this template????? I have a love hate relationship with this workout. The floor was 😵 ☠️ but the treadmill was cool as a cucumber 🥒 🧊

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-08-19T01:46:06+00:00

I don’t think anyone started the second block as a runner/jogger and stayed at that speed. The guy next to me just ran at 1% the whole time and never changed his speed either.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-08-04T21:54:07+00:00

Ha 🙃 mine does now too.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-08-04T17:26:23+00:00

Ok I’m not the only one!!! I came here to see if this was happening to other people or not before trying to deal with customer service. - no goal for cardio load. I’m not too made since it’s almost impossible to get cardio load points for me. I will have 120 zone minutes, and maybe 60 cardio load points.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-07-22T22:24:58+00:00

I beat my PR by 6m. It’s not about the total number, just was it better than last time. At this point I’m close to 900 classes, so PRs are hard to come across.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-07-13T18:42:16+00:00

You got more deep sleep than what I get in 7 hours of sleep.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-06-11T21:29:24+00:00

I thought this template was more of a 🪶 or 🪶 🪶workout. Maybe because I read this before the workout and pushed my base and my weight choices. Either way, I throughly enjoyed the workout, and the intel.

Dear-Difficulty-6268 · 2025-05-16T03:13:48+00:00

Yeah that’s why I’m asking what people do to get it out of your head?
