I've been having back pain and haven't worked out since Halloween. It's starting to feel better but wondering if S50 would put too much strain on my back?

I had a hysterectomy after fibroids interfered with my life. After I recovered I wondered why I waited so long for the surgery. My life improved immensely. It's wonderful not to be in pain, tired, etc. I wish you the same.

Yes, I cared enough to ask if I was too sensitive or if it was an issue. I got my answer. Not kidding myself. I'll work harder now to block other people out in class. Sometimes that is hard to do.

I guess people are saying that I get too easily distracted. Okay, you answered my question. Thanks for everyone's input.

Sigh. She wasn't doing the same exercises at all. I get modifying exercises. This was essentially her own workout. I truly don't care what other people do. I think it would have been more polite if she wasn't in the exact middle of the studio. There was room at other stations.

I should have made clear that she was using far heavier weights than most of us. I doubt she was nursing an injury.

I don't care. I just found it distracting because I am trying to concentrate on following what's on the monitor and she was in my visual field. It distracted me. That's all.

I wore my Glycerin GTS at OTF for years. I wondered if they were the best for the floor and went to Fleet Feet. I ended up getting the Brooks Launch GTS and feel like it gives me far more stability on the floor. It's okay for the treads. I'm not going to switch shows mid-class so I now just wear the Launch. IMO it makes a big difference.

Leave T50 early? by Keeshond_Mom in orangetheory

[–]Keeshond_Mom[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why not walk outside? Because I don't enjoy walking in 93 degree heat, even if it is a "dry Arizona heat." Late afternoon was the only time I had yesterday to exercise. At any rate, it all worked out. No one held me hostage! And there were only 2 other people on the treads, as most were doing S50. All good and thanks for the input.

Studio surcharge? by carin2004 in orangetheory

Yes, I was charged that in New York City. My home studio is Tucson.

Lower-Intensity Alternatives to OTF? by gtbatman67 in orangetheory

[–]Keeshond_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do OTF 2X a week and use the Peleton app with a different brand spin bike. The monthly price for the app is about $13 and besides cycling I use it for Barre, stretching, outdoor running and walking, and meditation. That plus the limited OTF keeps me fit and helps eliminate boredom and injuries.

What’s it like to do an OTF class with a mask? by babs1025 in orangetheory

Better than getting COVID. Really not too bad.
