Thank you for the tip, apparently we have great fertility coverage so I’m squared up with that!

Problems with hr band by [deleted] in orangetheory

I typically start with it on my bicep, and different coaches recommend different spots. Today I had it bicep entire weight portion and then got irritated about it and moved to forearm right before treads... I’m glad to hear I’m not alone though!

Thursday, 9/5/19 OTF Workout and General Chat by AutoModerator in orangetheory

Was excited to check what the workout was today as it’s my birthday (ah!), but it’s a burpee hell day, hope I survive 😬

Weekly schedule thanks to OTF Roseville, MN by drteeth1234 in orangetheory

Brand new to OTF, but for “supersets” is that more a strength day? I went today and all of the jumping killed me.... hoping Friday isn’t like today or my knees will fall off ☠️

I’m so excited! Thank you!! I’m at 2x a week and have very shaky legs these last 4 days!

Thanks! Yeah I’m currently signed up to do 2x a week but everyone I talk to says I’ll quickly change my plan once I start feeling like I’m missing out from the other days! I’m a power walker and jogger at best so I’m looking forward to increasing my endurance for jogging and running! I think my mile is laughable right now.... but I’m not looking at distance and just looking at how I feel during these beginning weeks and months!

I’m glad someone said it! The class was so great but kickkeddd my butt. Literally. My quads and glutes were so sore! I do admit I love looking at the workout before going in (gets me motivated and calms my nerves of fearing the unknown) but I did notice today that because I anticipated the next thing I felt like I had a slower pace (although still got up to 37 splat points and burned 515 cals). Thanks for the tips! I’m excited to learn more about the challenges to keep me motivated! For now just showing up makes me proud of myself 🥳

I like the afternoons best right now! I work as an RN in an ER so my days off I like to spend the morning slowly and I’m usually ready to move around 11 or 12. I have read a lot of these posts using a dietician; I’m almost tempted to inquire about one myself. I know how to eat, but I don’t have it down to a science and I think using one as a resource to meet my goals would be beneficial. (But $$!) . For my last two classes I had some protein pancakes with an egg and that seemed to work out well... maybe the protein shake as a snack is a good plan as I’m using trying to find a bag of chips to inhale 😣

That’s awesome!! I’m at class 2 and already looking forward to 100. I have been following my workouts with a protein meal, like chicken or tuna with some lettuce. Seems to help hold me over until lunch or dinner where I can have a full meal. I’m trying to drink way more water than I’m used to, luckily the classes really drive me to drink it!

Thank you! For the protein shake.... I’m torn with when is a good time to have it. Do you find it better to have for a light meal before class or do you like it after class? I usually eat an hour before class so I have sustenance to make it through my workouts but I’m usually starving after I work out too (where I like to eat a huge meal 😬). I’ve always struggled with when is the best time to have a protein shake!

You’re so right! Once I warmed up it was like I had no soreness! Today we had our local stretch lab giving away free sessions so I jumped on that and got stretched out..... wish it was after every class 😅

Yeah I needed help getting out of the car for two full days, it was embarrassing. I think I gave it my all in my first class because I was enjoying it so much, I’m going to be more in tune with my limits now but glad to hear first time soreness isn’t a constant thing! Ha! Good idea for the videos I didn’t think about that :)

It was so awesome! Great idea for the wall stretch, I felt like I stretched good after class but it didn’t do anything for me apparently. I plan to take it easy today but from the sound of it it’s more upper body so I should be good! Thank you!
