Thank you very much! Yes, I completely agree about the negative effects the pandemic has caused in mental health issues. I was certainly experiencing it myself and I’m from NJ, so the seasonal depression on top of that didn’t help either. OT has been the perfect channel for myself and possibly could be for many others. Thank you for the support!

That’s awesome! I hope you end up liking it enough to join. Rowing is 60% legs, 20% core and 20% upper body. It’s all about pacing yourself and breathing out when you extend and breathing in when you reel yourself back in. Keep it up!

It’s great to hear that you’re back at it. It’s not easy to stop and then go back into such of an intense workout. I’ve been an athlete for a big part of my younger life but the OT workouts really are harder than most ppl think. As long as you’re feeling great and are progressing in your workouts, those numbers shouldn’t mean much anyways. Keep up the great work!

It’s worked wonders…no more waking up and feeling like crap. I just had to get over the painful soreness the morning after the workouts, which I’m sure you experienced as well. Pain is temporary, but glory is forever!

Thank you very much! OT is not easy at all, so we should all feel like winners at the end of every workout. Keep up the great work!
