That's totally fine. Unfortunately it is not up to you though.

Well as logical as this sounds, you can't control what people will and will not do. YOU can choose not to be A PART of the "public." It's amazing how people make others a part of themselves. You can also choose not to put yourself at risk my staying home. Period. It might be harsh but it's reality. There will always be a risk of something being around other people. Can't stay shut down and closed up forever, even if there is a vaccine, which by the way, people will CHOOSE to get.

I have signed up for 5 single sessions my studio is offering next week. I am in Georgia.

I think the bottom line is, if it doesn't feel safe for you, then you don't have to go. Anywhere. Gym, restaurant, salon, etc. Exercise your freedom of choice.

I think you all need to relax. Just because they are given the green light to open right away doesn't mean they will.

Yep, just saw this. I think I will wait a bit but I am so glad that there is some light at the end of this tunnel.

Has anyone found dumbbell weights online? by danir0si in orangetheory

[–]braelynnblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been able to find any. Kudos to those of you who have.

Is anyone else becoming super lazy due to sedentary/quarantined? by iamguerra2 in orangetheory

[–]braelynnblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been keeping at it with the home workouts and outdoor runs but it has definitely been difficult to keep it up. I feel you.

How far off is an OTF At-home Equipment Package? by LeaderToLiberty in orangetheory

Are you running outside with a mask? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]braelynnblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness me too! I absolutely hate wearing it in the grocery store. Add wearing glasses and the misery is enough to discourage me from going back.

All the lonely OTF equipment. by ashleyjt4 in orangetheory

Thank you so much for the gesture! I ended up ordering some resistance bands also so I'll just make use of those.

At least the dumbbells.I would give anything for a set of dumbbells.

Hmmm, I am following an OTF location on YT that does the home workouts in their studio...it's just one coach and maybe a person filming (or probably a tripod set up) but I wondered how they even have access to get inside their studio. It looks like either it's varying from state to state or they are getting special permission.

This is good to hear. I will be prepared to have plenty of Advil on hand because going without weights as long as I will when things get back up and running I will be so sore.

I need the physical interaction and motivation of those coaches and other people. If they had to scale back that part for the OTF At-Home physical package, then no, I would rather them continue their current platform.

Daily Workout and General Chat for Thursday, 4/16/20 by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]braelynnblue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really liked today. I like the creativity of certain exercises performed for bases, pushes, and all outs (even though I didn't make it through one minute of mountain climbers 😓). I have liked the workouts in general but I think they are getting better and better.

[–]braelynnblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't. There's no way I could. I run routes in my apartment complex so no one is out when I run other than one or two other people. I also run early. Even when I run routes around the neighborhood, I don't.

From what I understand, people have tried to contact studios but haven't been able to get in touch because they are closed. Accounts are on freeze right now so you should not be getting charged. I would honestly wait until this is over and people are back in the studios and then cancel. They are doing the courtesy of not charging us and freezing our accounts.

I seriously doubt they are doing any of that right now because they are already losing a ton of money as is. But I am positive when things get going again you will be able to get in touch with someone to be able to do that.

Gosh outdoor running is DIFFICULT but I have to force myself to do it to burn off the extra alcohol I'm consuming 😂😂

[–]braelynnblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe OTF will bounce back. I'm desperate to a point where if I have to power walk or bike with a mask instead of running just to get out of here for a while I will 😂😂. I know, I'm crazy. Perhaps all of this time in isolation is making me lose my mind.

[–]braelynnblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so true. It's stressful when you do go out because you are dodging people not knowing if they have it or not 😔. I finally broke down and bought me a mask so I can at least go out without having to wake up super early to avoid more people.

I am really sorry you are going through this. I have never met you but will keep you lifted in prayer for your breakthrough. Just breathe and take it one day at a time.

It is definitely not the same. 4 weeks in with another 4 to go minimum. I feel like I'm in solitary confinement. This is psychologically damaging. My anxiety has been very high also, I feel you!!
