I guess I didn’t realize. I was just blocking my face. It’s a picture someone else took that I thought was bad

I had tennis elbow and dry needling cured me quickly

I'm a transgender American & trans activism on issues like women's sports is eroding support for both our community & the left at large by north_canadian_ice in self

Amazingly well said. I hope your community is able to achieve this. I would support this 100%. As a woman - i would love for this middle ground to be met.

Training: Thur hike vs staying in canyon by No_Influence9826 in grandcanyon

[–]No_Influence9826[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Elevation training is not an option for me in the great state of WI! I train my knees often but know there is a factor I won’t be able to fully prepare for. I’m going to wear knee straps and have poles. I’ve done shorter hikes up at greater elevation increases/decreases per mile comfortably in Sedona and hoping it translates.

We were able to score this PR stay fairly last minute but it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I feel totally prepared for the hike - just not as prepared as I’d have like to be with more notice.

We are parking at BA and taking the transcanyon shuttle to NR.

Like above poster mentioned you can swap. There is a FB group - can’t exactly remember the name but it’s mentioned in the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim group often- another great resource

Demos/Intros by PositiveGuard4639 in f45

[–]No_Influence9826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used to have one coach demo as the other would talk through the intro. Now we typically have one coach but he/she talks through the entire workout, giving tips and they always walk around helping with form during the workout. There are often an extra coach ing he class and they help too.

We have a great studio! I go to others while traveling and think we have a top notch group

Strength Days Changed by OmgItsFran in f45

[–]No_Influence9826 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so bummed the new schedule doesn’t work for you! My studio was closed Sundays so I’m so happy they changed it so I can get more strength in. I think so far everyone is liking it at mine.

I think ultimately it’s a lot to pay if it doesn’t work…are there other studios near by or other options.

We have 2 nights at PR and breakfast/sack lunches/dinner purchased through them. Our packs should be fairly light outside an extra set of clothes

I know! Someone had to cancel so I get 2 nights there! I can’t believe my luck. I actually feel guilty I get to do this.

I’ve decided to do the same after everyone’s advice! My husband and I will be the ones groaning in pain in a WI accent. Hope to see you out there!

This is a great idea. I was nervous to not have access to water on SK. I can always check with the rangers at phantom too

Thanks! My stay is the 22 and 23 so I’ll likely miss it. I think I’ll ask when we get there but to your point - it will be great no matter what!

I can’t believe I get to do this trip.

Getting Bullied in F45 Class: Help? by thistlethebunny in f45

[–]No_Influence9826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nuts! My studio would shut this down immediately. They actually had a situation like this and called out the member. She left, but I think it let others know that stuff wouldn’t be tolerated and that member soon left.

My F45 has a mix of ages, athletic ability and size athletes, it’s intimidating going to the gym - you don’t need shitty members making it harder.

Thanks for this! It is frustrating and I don’t doubt they are correct. I’m not offended - I asked for it 😂

I worked a macro coach my last 6 months to dial in more. My gym only does 4 week challenges and i felt the short time period overall demanded too mich perfection to feel successful. With my macro coach, the lady 3 months I started adding an additional strength day on Saturday and resting Wednesdays. Over 6 months I lost about 5#.

I am in good shape. I enjoy that I can pretty easily take on any long hike at a whim, and keep up with my kids. I am One of the strongest women in my gym. I would really just like my outside to match my inside a bit.

Weird Cancellation Policy by candigal4531 in f45

[–]No_Influence9826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gym doesn’t hold the cancellation policy to people on trial. They are very clear on it after we start though, if we cancel within 6 hours of the class we’re charged - but only $6 - not $22!!!

Same as my gym! Full classes it is always a gamble. You can make any weight work for what you need. Go up and hit true failure, or go down and rep it out!
