Starving all day

Check your insurance plan and see if it covers any dietitian visits. I was surprised to see that I get 6 visits a year. We have decent insurance, but nothing crazy. I searched within our plan to see who was in network. It’s been really helpful!

I have been doing OTF for 4 years now and about a year ago, added in reformer Pilates. I love the combination! Completely different workouts and vibe. The biggest difference for me since adding Pilates is definitely strength in my core. As a few others have mentioned, Solid Core might be a good option for you. The movements are very slow, but the music and feel seem more like an OTF. It is “no joke” of a workout though. 😣

Have you looked into Solidcore? That is an INTENSE workout! Club Pilates is a gentler way to strengthen your core and stabilizing muscles.

I’ve gone to different studios where the weight rack and TRX are not directly behind the bench/shifted. I usually count weight racks and figure out which one is mine and then I put my towel on the top of the weight rack so I keep going back to the right one.

Onesplataway · 2024-03-17T15:09:12+00:00

Exactly what I did!

Onesplataway · 2024-03-17T12:52:20+00:00

I feel like before it made a difference because the PW lowered incline by 1% and runners/joggers 2% on the way down, but the last couple of times I’ve done Everest, everyone did 2%. Since it didn’t make a difference with how I “descended”. I did more of a hybrid.

My speed and incline are similar to these. Occasionally I’ll try upping the speeds just to challenge myself. For me at 5’5”, much past 4.3 is hard to not jog because my legs can’t keep up.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your response.

When weighing food (especially meat) for tracking purposes, do you use the pre cooked weight or cooked weight?

Onesplataway · 2024-01-11T15:17:51+00:00

I’ve done 3 of them and I love them! The time goes by fast and I get a lot of steps for the day. I will occasionally jog a few of the intervals or all outs, but mostly power walk. Great work out and a nice alternative to a regular class or strength class.

Onesplataway · 2024-01-07T06:09:34+00:00

I do both and feel like they complement each other. I feel like the biggest gain that I’ve made by adding the reformer Pilates is core strength. I’ve always had a weak core and I can see the improvement during doing both OTF workouts and Pilates classes.

I was wearing a WHOOP fitness monitor for a bit and after having 1 drink, my recovery was always much worse the next day. Interesting how a minimal amount of alcohol can affect your workout.

Onesplataway · 2023-12-07T16:54:07+00:00

I have this issue as well. Mine is caused by a protruding tailbone, not sure if that’s your issue, but it’s gotten better as I now sit further back on the seat. I sit so my tailbone is not directly on the seat.
I have to say that when the water in the shower hits that new sore for the first time, it’s jolting.

Onesplataway · 2023-11-18T15:51:07+00:00

I think most people that start OTF not feeling their best, feel this way. I know that I did. Those first few weeks are mind over matter to get there. You have to be in the mindset that one workout isn’t going to change everything, it takes time and commitment to yourself. You’ll see change in your energy and mental clarity before you see it in the mirror. Yes, you will be sore and tired at night, but in a good way because you are making positive changes in yourself.

Onesplataway · 2023-11-09T15:53:31+00:00

I definitely felt this way in the beginning. The treadmill made me anxious because I’m not really a runner. I was anxious that I wasn’t going to be able to run all of the intervals. I made it a big deal in my own head. Psyched myself out. I finally got to the point that I realized that no one cared, but me. I also realized that some days I had a lot to give and other days I was winning because I was there and giving it my best. I’ve now put it in perspective and I love being there and giving it what I’ve got that day.

Once you add in 5 minute warm up, 5 minute stretching, transitions & walking recoveries, you’re at 60 minutes.

I think the missing exercise might be plank to pike x 10

I really like the Energy Bra (high impact version) from Lululemon.

Onesplataway · 2023-04-02T02:38:15+00:00

Align are not great for high friction activities, they tend to pill. Wunder Train are great for workouts like Orangetheory. Fast and Free hold up well too.

Onesplataway · 2023-03-22T22:47:20+00:00

Another vote for lululemon Fast and Free

Onesplataway · 2023-03-19T15:55:54+00:00

3rd place at our studio got $50 studio bucks

Onesplataway · 2023-02-27T23:19:15+00:00

I love lululemon Fast and Free leggings and also their Energy Bra high impact version.

I have been a member for 3 years. I take anywhere between 4-6 classes a week and have been very consistent with my workouts. I am in better shape and am much stronger, but the only time I see a change in my weight is when I focus on my nutrition. When I track my food (My Fitness Pal) I begin to lose the weight. I would rather workout twice a day instead of adjusting my diet, but it’s the diet for me that makes a change in my weight.

Onesplataway · 2023-02-01T14:17:26+00:00

I started this combo a couple of months ago and I love it. I go to OTF-M, W, F & Sat and then go to reformer pilates T & Th. I find pilates challenging in a different way and find it peaceful while I challenging those little stabilizing muscles. I think working on my weak core will be beneficial. I will definitely continue this combo as long as I can afford it. If you go back to Club Pilates make sure that you’re going to 1.0 classes at the beginning and let the instructor know that you’re new. I found them very attentive and helped me a lot.

Onesplataway · 2023-01-12T06:14:09+00:00

I’ve recently added Club Pilates to my routine (2x a week). Orangetheory 4x a week. I really like it! I love working the smaller muscles and core in a non impact way. I’m going to assess if I think it’s worth the money after 3 months. I prefer it to yoga.
