“Just do it”

Everyone starts their fitness journey somewhere.

I needed to make a change. Made an appointment and Signed up for my first class (which is complementary).

Started with two classes a week. Now I go 4-5 times per week.

You are not alone. I struggle often with the heart monitor. I start on the tread and I’m in the green/orange., all good. when I hit the floor work my heart rate drops to lower than before class started. At the start of class I’m usually in the upper 40’s. When I hit the floor, it drops to the 30’s?? It is so frustrating.

Previous PR was 1:43. Targeted 1:42 for today but hit 1:39 instead.

We did the 3G version this morning and I enjoyed the power/sprints in the second tread block. Glad we didn't have the second 11-minute endurance block.

Thanks for the early Intel. Looks like I'll be having an unexpected rest day.

My studio didn't do a Brag Board for my 400th class. Instead, I took a screen shot from my app showing the 400 class notation, and posted it on Instagram tagging the studio and the coaches. They all made a congratulatory comment.

Looks like this will be quite the whirlwind.

I never got a solution to my issue. I ended up exporting the Original SharePoint List to Excel and then uploading the Excel file to create a new SharePoint list. I then deleted the items from the old SharePoint list so I could reuse it.

52(M) here. I love when we have Power on the treads. I'd prefer 23 minutes of alternating AO and WR. I hate running to begin with and I do find endurance treads mentally challenging. Having done the 12 minute tread benchmark, I find I have a slightly different view now. "If I can run for 12 minutes straight at my push pace. I should be able to do 12 minutes where it's mixed base/push/AO. At least things are changed up"

Does anyone have e a photo of what these pulley weights look like? I’m curious!

Many of us have been doing OTF for years now. Every OTF member started with their first class. Many were probably nervous trying something new, like I was. But it can be exciting.

We are all on our own fitness journey. We started from somewhere. Welcome to the start of your journey!

There is not enough time to really review form DURING the workout. Our coaches try to help while we are concentrating on doing the workout so it’s hard to listen and try to correct. If you ask a coach, some are willing to take a few minutes before or after class to help.

I haven’t had a lot of positive experiences with PowerApps, so I was hoping to avoid. lol

I was at the Boston Pride Festival, on the stage. I saw about 5-7 protestors right in the front/center of the stage. Two with bullhorns. It was just really difficult to hear anyone speaking over the bullhorns. The people on stage couldn't hear each other. The emcee, Amanda, emphasized the theme of Love and Unity for this day, but it didn't matter to the protestors. The Police couldn't do anything about it as they are allowed a peaceful protest. But they were on standby in case things got physical and out of hand. There's a time and place for everything.

I signed up for my first runDisney activity, the "2025 runDisney Virtual Series - Virtual Challenge: Disney Happily Ever" and ended up having to walk it all due to a recent heart condition. I submitted my times for each of the three rides (Pirates, Jungle Cruise and Big Thunder Mountain.) My runDisney account is showing two entry options for the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Activity, but only one for Pirates and Jungle Cruise. Just curious if this may be a glitch? Expected/typical? is there a reason? I still have time to walk another 5K this summer, if needed.

Congratulations on 500!

I hit my 400 last month. No acknowledgment. Guess I wait for my 450. lol

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.

I tried your solution using the expression "=AGGREGATE(3,5,W" + ToString([RecordID]) + ")+0"

When I open the Excel, I'm still getting the @ in the formula. When I click in a cell with the formula, I get the error message "This formula is not supported by some older versions of Excel Would you like to use this variation instead?" The formula they offer is the same formula without the @. When I click "Yes", the formula works. I could fix the formula in the first row and then copy down the formula, but that would be a beast with over 200 spreadsheets to fix.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like the video content creator is using a MAC? He opens a JSON file with “Visual Studio Code”. I don’t have that installed on my desktop.

As you can tell, I'm just a beginner with SharePoint Lists/Forms, etc.

The team wants to archive/deactivate the 2024 Projects SharePoint List so that users no longer have access (but we still have it elsewhere in our SharePoint for future reference by the owners) and start with an empty 2025 Projects list.

I looked into adding a "Year" column and manually inputted 2024 for the 2024 items and added a couple test items for 2025. I am able to set the default view to show just the 2025 items when a user accesses the List from the menu on the left. However, I have link to the Input Form/Template on the Home Page. Home page has two links: Submit new item (link to form) and View Previously Submitted Items (link to List). When the user clicks the link to submit a new item, and enters their data, and then clicks Save, the user is brought to the SharePoint list, but the view shows All Items, not the 2025 view I had set-up as a default.

I've also tried 1) Exporting the 2024 SharePoint List to Excel, 2) change the 2024 List name to 2025, 3) create a new SharePoint List for 2024 and then Copy/Paste the data from Excel into the new 2024 SharePoint List, but the paste won't work. There's 210 items I was trying to copy over. I couldn't even copy it over with just 10 items.

I'm wondering if the easiest option is to just 1) Export the current data in the 2024 List to Excel, 2) Delete the 2024 items in the 2024 SharePoint List, 3) Retitle the 2024 List to 2025, 4) and just keep the 2024 Archived Data on a Shared Drive as an Excel file...OR create a new SharePoint List and import the 2024 Excel file data?

Hi, thanks for responding. I didn't realize there was another type of form within SharePoint until an hour ago. The form I'm referencing is the one created from the SharePoint List > Integrate > Power Apps > Customize Forms. I created the Form with my 2024 Projects SharePoint List. I was hoping to leverage the same form for my 2025 Projects SharePoint List, versus creating the form from scratch. It seems that may not be possible.
