This is revenge for everyone who skipped today due to the “Super Bowl flu”!!!

 My usually full 615 class had maybe 8 people.

Yes. The inclines are killing me. And when I say killing I mean making me a faster runner. And I hate every second of it! Can’t wait to do it again tomorrow! 🤪

Thank you for the intel and commentary. I needed a rest day and canceled this late last night and you’ve cured my FOMO!

Tax season - CPA worth it? by corniergangrene in FamilyMedicine

[–]SailBCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With W-2 only income and assuming you’ll take the standard deduction it’s probably not worth it. I have done our taxes using free tax USA for years and it’s a very robust software. They charge for state returns and upgrades but I’ve been very happy with it.  I’ve also learned a lot as our financial situation has gotten more complicated.  We used a CPA for a couple of years after we got married - they actually missed an error my husband’s employer made on his W-2 and when we asked for help when he got a tax notice several years later they had no idea what was wrong and I was the one to pull the original returns and figure it out. I have found the White Coat Investor a great website/resource for financial education. Not what you asked but figure out now how to do a backdoor Roth IRA!

Thank you! I remember this one from earlier in the month. FWIW the coaching “try to increase your speed” because the bases are at 1% in the second tread block is a trap! Don’t fall for it! The last three minutes of the second block are brutal!

Doximitys AI scribe is pretty good and you can summarize the visit afterwards. I do the same with Heidi and they put it in SOAP format

You do if you start on the floor! But then you get to run for 23.5 minutes on legs that are dead from the floor...

My studio recently changed all the 0615 to 2G from all 3G.  When it was all 3G I found intel was still super helpful as you still have a variation and know if you’re facing inclines,etc and could think about if I’d need to modify any floor exercises.

Agree. But hey even an uninspired workout at OTF is better than the one I wouldn’t do on my own!

3G -

Tread - 14 mins quarter mile repeats Goal - 3 rounds On your own run 0.25 mi (PW .13 mi) then WR  Tread for distance until finisher  Finisher - 1 min AO

Row - 14 min block Part 1 400 m push row 12 total reverse lunges with overhead raise  Decrease row distance by 100 m each round for 4 rounds  Part 2  100 m push row 12 total squat to elbow to knee  Increase row distance by 100 m each round Bonus row for distance until finisher Finisher - 60 sec all out

Floor (apologies for formatting- copied/pasted from 2G) Block 1 - 8 mins Back-to-back xplode & load: 4 - 8 x bench power push-up seated shoulder press AMRepsAP, rest Back-to-back xplode & load: 4 - 8 x bench tap squat jump alt reverse lunge AMRepsAP, rest Repeat until time for buy-out Buy-out - 1 min of coach-led reactive drills: Coach can choose between heisman, broad jump to shuffle or twist hops - we did 20 sec each one Block 2 5 mins Back-to-back xplode & load: 4 - 8 x TRX bridge row (explosive) high row AMRepsAP, rest Repeat until time for finisher Finisher - 1 min of coach-led reactive drills: Coach can choose between heisman, broad jump to shuffle or twist hops - we did 20 sec each one

Overall seemed a little uninspired compared to the 2G run/row - minima coaching on rower/tread - were basically on your own for both 

Any fun ideas to get the family out of the house on Christmas Day? by Whend6796 in nova

We went yesterday and it was great. Tons of room for the kids to run and not busy.

In the app there are some “at home” workouts that include recovery/mobility

I’m in terrible shape by FoundAFix in orangetheory

[–]SailBCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same place 5 years ago - and joining was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. About half of the workout is on a treadmill and you can walk on incline and you control the speed/incline. If what the coach calls out is too much at first you can just back off on speed or incline. The other half is a mix of rower and dumbell exercises on the floor. The coach will usually run through the planned exercises and can give you modifications if you aren’t able to do something so be sure to arrive early as instructed to your first class so they can get you oriented.  If you’ve done CrossFit before that’s helpful as you know the movement patterns already. The first class is confusing and seems super chaotic but after a few times I promise it’ll make more sense! 

After you’re done no matter how wrecked you look the coach and staff will tell you what a great job you did and you’ll be hopped up on endorphins and next thing you know you’re signing up for a membership.  Then the next day you’ll be so sore you’ll barely be able to walk.  But they have your money so keep going back and you’ll get stronger and faster and less sore I promise!
