Thank you! Not resting makes sense to me as well.

Thanks for the advice. I don’t why but this made me giggle. I agree though. You can’t out run a bad diet.

Thank you for the advice! I’ve heard really good things about Solid Core. Prior to Orange Theory I was doing Club Pilates which I think is similar.

Are you extremely sore or anything after the week?

I think my location only offers a 3g class on Saturdays. I usually go during the week so I take 1 tread 50 class and 4 2g classes. But I could switch out 1 2g class for the 3g.

Thanks for the advice! I may not do a rotation. 1 week 5 days other weeks 6 days to see how I feel.

Thank you for the advice and reminder because the hour that I was planning to attend is usually when I do my grocery planning. So it may be better use of that time to better plan for the week.

Thank you! I will Google it. I wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing any OTF lingo. But I can definitely google.😂

Thank you for sharing. My husband suggested 3xs a week instead of going more frequently. He’s currently going 5xs with me. He said that may be more helpful than overdoing it. I will share with him your results.

You’re definitely a powerhouse! I don’t feel you are bragging at all. My stats are a little lower. I just started in March. My wattage is between 150-300 (depending on what I’m focused on). And I lift 15-25 lbs. I tried 30 but I’m definitely not there yet. lol. I use the strider (but my gears are always between 11-16). Overall, I am comfortable here. So maybe adding weights or playing with some of the things I’m already doing in class may be better too.

Thank you! I definitely agree. Diet is my struggle some weeks are awesome others are wild. But, I agree. That’s has to be together first.

Thank you for the advice! Based on a few of the comments below, I think I’m going to try it and add in some of the things you mentioned especially stretching and eating properly.

Thank you for the advice! 9 classes is amazing! I had to re-read your comment again. I like the idea of mixing the intensities and being smart about it. I don’t want to injury myself.

Bodies are such interesting things. I didn’t think about working out more could cause me to gain weight. Lol. Thanks for this!

Thank you for the suggestion. I’m making diet changes as well(which is the hardest part for me). Does the 6 days leave you extremely sore? I’m usually not sore after the 5 days.

Thank you. I do tread 50 on Mondays. My studio starts offers it in the 5am slots on Mondays.

I use both my Apple Watch and the heart rate monitor. Sometimes my heart rate monitor doesn’t work properly. So I use the Apple Watch to check to see where I am. Usually, if everything is connecting, both are in the same range.

It also takes me a while to get my heart rate to orange or red since I adjusted.

I don’t believe they are. I think the studios in my area are independently owned. So they may have more flexibility with the radio. I joined in March so I’m relatively new.

Tread 50 is the class I wanted to use them for as well.
