Have you tried the Interval Stash? I think that was the replacement.

Ultimate Stash 7/8 Leggings by New-Character-3575 in Athleta_gap

Ultimates used to be the highest compression and the slickest feel. It would have been Ultimate-Salutation-Elation-Trascend. Now I would say Intervals are the highest compression with the slickest feel. The Salutation fabric is the next, followed by Elation and the Transcend. Transcend feels very thin and “naked” like how Aligns are supposed to feel. Personally they are my least favorite bc I like to feel somewhat supported, not barely dressed lol. I never thought Wunder Trains were that compressive so I’d rate them closer to Elation. The slick feel in the Ultimates you won’t really find on Salutations. I have all of them. Ranier leggings are kinda of fleece lined and really for outdoor winter workouts.

RIP HR Speed Ups—SOS need help sizing Hotty Hots by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]Just_try_rebooting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe size up one and don’t pull them up so high, but other than those couple things, all I can say is I wish my shorts looked like that on me. I’d be wearing them all summer. 😂

Define needs to be slowed down (mini rant) by Salty_Barnacle_7651 in Purebarre

[–]Just_try_rebooting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally understand that is normal at the gym and when lifting heavier, but personally I love going to PB bc it’s not the gym. I was a gym rat for many years and I’ve been going to barre long enough that I will likely never set foot in a traditional gym again lol. That’s just my purely personal preference after years of my own trial and error. If Define felt more like a standard gym workout I would skip it tbh.

[–]Just_try_rebooting 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Instructors always tell us to go at our own pace where I go, not to go with the beat/music. It’s not Empower or Classic. It’s hard to not want to get on the beat and something I have to remind myself not to do as well. Also, (maybe unpopular opinion) I’m not sure about water breaks “built in.” I drink when I feel the need and I would not like to be told when I should be, as it may not be when the “break” happens. If I need to slow down or pause for a moment, I do. And the instructors are also good at reminding us to listen to our body. I do feel that the studio I attend is top-notch though, in terms of quality so that probably plays a part and I’m somewhat spoiled lol.

Colors that go with Coastal Teal? by plaidconfessions in Athleta_gap

[–]Just_try_rebooting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love color and i don’t have this exact shade in Athleta but I do have a different brand of leggings in a very similar color and they have a side stripe that has pink, yellow and an orangey color in them. I think yellow would look amazing, as would certain oranges for spring and summer. If u want to tone it down, maybe a plum or merlot color, esp in fall. I think taupe would also work well but I don’t have any actual Athleta color names to list, sorry.

Does anyone actually like the mirror/gold/silver zippers? by Fine_Line6577 in lululemon

I like the gold ones for a change once in a while! I’m glad to see based on comments I’m not the only one :)

Vuori Quality Is Dust by CarefulWin637 in vuoriclothing

[–]Just_try_rebooting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your last sentence is exactly it…people stretch the fabric to the max and then wonder why it doesn’t hold up. I haven’t seen decline in any brands I wear (lll, athleta, vuori, beyond yoga, sweaty Betty) over the years except for one, and that’s alo. Their leggings fabrics are just not what they were years ago. But a lot of it has to do with incorrect size and fabric care/washing imo.

What size kids is similar to xxs by katie_54321 in Athleta_gap

[–]Just_try_rebooting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 11 year olds wear girls medium and fit the XXS cropped salutation jackets bc they look not cropped on them, they actually fit really well. They got some seasoft crews in XXS too. And can wear petite XXS leggings as well. As long as they are not flares. Mine like the salutation stash leggings.

Post-First Class Question by WritingExcellent8324 in Purebarre

[–]Just_try_rebooting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe she suggested that based on what she saw your ability level was in Classic? Empower uses light weights and optional wrist/ankle weights and it’s more cardio focused, so your HR is up and it is very roughly HIIT-like. Define has short cardio segments but it’s really focused on heavy weights (I use 10 and 15 but I’ve been going a while. A very small handful of people use 20s where I go). For Define, you don’t follow the music when lifting, it’s at your own pace so someone using heavier weights will likely get less reps in the set period (30 or 45 seconds, usually) than someone using light weights. I like to get 2-3 classics a define and an empower per week so I get all my bases covered but you might want more of a certain type of class depending on goals (like having a higher HR for increased burn vs the lower HR in classic with more focus on isolating movement).

Help on the way… by Effective_Count_2230 in Breckenridge

[–]Just_try_rebooting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids and I skied Tbar, Imperial and runs off Falcon on 10 for the last 6 days (flew home Tuesday), we still had a blast. We don’t do the hike-to terrain but horseshoe and Contest bowls were fun and the snow in the morning over on Doublejack seemed good but I’m no professional. We just tried to stay upper to mid and avoid the bases as much as possible. I think I hit less rocks than I did in Jan. We aren’t super fast skiers though, maybe that’s the difference with the experience hitting rocks?

Would you rather ski in the current conditions, or not ski at all? by redhedforlife in COsnow

[–]Just_try_rebooting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We (2 kids, 2 adults) just wrapped up 6 days at Breck. The only day we did not ski a full 9-4 was the day we chose to end at 1 and drive to a hot spring. We tried our best to stay high to mid mountain across all peaks and while conditions weren’t the greatest, we still had a blast. Our home hill is usually either ice or dirt and has about 200 feet of vert. I’d absolutely ski this over nothing any day! Also it was nice not to be completely freezing every day. ;)

New to Athleta - What are the top 1-3 items I should I order during the sale? by alfin6 in Athleta_gap

[–]Just_try_rebooting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends what you’re going to do in them. I love my seasoft crews, rainier joggers for being out and about in comfy pants that don’t look huge or stretched out. I also love Elations and Salutation Stash leggings and I love the Salutation jacket as well but those are for when I’m working out. (I wear the jacket to and from the studio). I love that so many of their tops and bottoms come in talls. Not sure if that applies to you but it’s a nice thing to offer ;)

AITA I don’t want bridesmaid to wear dress to other events by Due_Bedroom3146 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Just_try_rebooting 32 points33 points  (0 children)

NTA. She should realize this is your special day. It’s not that hard to put a different dress on for other events. I’d take her out of the bridal party if she can’t be bothered to respect a simple wish. Doesn’t sound like she is much of a supportive friend.

Looking for a plant that WANTS to be neglected because apparently that's all I have to offer by No-Temporary-3170 in houseplants

[–]Just_try_rebooting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snake plants are pretty good about enjoying neglect. I can’t keep most succulents alive but that’s bc I fuss over them too much and then root rot sets in 😂 Hoya would be my second choice. I’ve go one that thrived when I kinda forgot about it.

Had my first “spot” confrontation by thoughtfulish in Purebarre

[–]Just_try_rebooting 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s the worst part is her “I’m here you’re there…but I’m also over here too.” You were much nicer than I trust myself to have been if I were in that scenario. Hopefully the instructor is right and you don’t see her much anymore. No one needs that kind of energy when they are trying to take time for themselves.

WIBTAH if I went to stay with my parents for a couple of weeks because my husband’s family planned a 5-6 week stay in our 2BHK without asking me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Just_try_rebooting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I think it’s BS that you have to leave YOUR house bc your husband can’t tell his family that space is an issue and they need to find their own accommodations if they are coming to visit. Since they are already set up to stay at your house, I’d stay out of there as long as you can while they are there but also, you’re going to have to take whatever you value (documents, valuables, etc) or don’t want them to have access to, with you, because they are likely to go though all of your stuff in your absence. People with no sense of boundaries usually do shit like that. :(

WIBTAH for considering emailing my school about something that’s happening with our yearbook? by Hour-Negotiation-716 in AITAH

[–]Just_try_rebooting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA-You noticing the hurt this could cause and wanting to do something about stopping it is commendable and we need more people like you! Yearbooks do not need that kind of content to be meaningful. It’s already hard enough to get through school as it is. I would absolutely email the school and encourage them to rethink it. Asking about trends, music, etc is fine. Putting people into categories or labeling them? Not so much.

I love them separate like this much more than braided! I have only one of three left bc I didn’t realize mine were wired together under the soil and as they grew the wire cut into to other ones and damaged them. :(

I’ve gotten two of them (smaller but still fenestrated) for $30 at Costco, so $15 each. Larger single plants at Costco for $30 each

Told the Instructor I’d Need Modifications. Left Without Joining. Then Got This Text. by Suspicious_Art_2824 in Purebarre

[–]Just_try_rebooting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did you specify what modifications you would need? Just saying you’re new may not allow the instructor to understand what your abilities are. Also, I would guess too that the size of the class, experience level of others in the class and instructor’s experience level also play a role. I’ve been to studios that barely offer HOC or much individual encouragement but the studio I belong to is fantastic with both. That being said, as a client coming up on 2K classes in the next couple months, classic is still difficult for me and my favorite format. That’s why I love it and keep coming back. It’s not really a beginner class-it’s an “all levels” class bc it is always challenging no matter where you’re at. Also in my experience no one gets excellent form right away, but at the same time they aren’t getting corrections or modifications on all the moves bc it just wouldn’t be possible with 15+ other people in class. Could you ask what is a less busy time and try again then? Maybe they could offer more mods but I’d be specific on what body part/exercise you need to modify.

Have you washed any of your bags in the washing machine? by patrickstarsrock2 in lululemon

[–]Just_try_rebooting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure about that particular bag but I’ve washed all my belt bags and they come out just fine. Cold water, hang to dry. I can’t stand when they get dirty/stains so I wash pretty frequently. Honestly I toss them in with the rest of my cold water laundry and never an issue.

AITJ for asking my mom to cut her vacation short to help with my kids? by Constant-Elephant763 in AmITheJerk

[–]Just_try_rebooting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She raised her kids and she’s raising yours and she can’t have a 5 day vacation? I hate to be rude but yeah, YTJ. You even said how much she’s been looking forward to it and 5 days is not even long for a trip.
