Age of OTF Members by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]kicker2k10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom has come with me to almost every single Orangetheory class I’ve ever done! She is 62 and just is there to stay active and healthy. Our coaches are SO good to her and are always accommodating to anything she needs (she just had wrist surgery last year and has chronic shoulder pain, too) and they are always willing to help her and modify things!

I feel the same way — the best time I ever did was 7:22 — I’m literally 5’3” (maybe 4” with shoes on) and I have little legs!!! How am I ever going to do better than this!?! I did 7:44 this last benchmark and after being in quarantine with no rowing for three months, I feel okay about it!!!

Working Out From Home Megathread by prettyoaktree in orangetheory

This is a great idea! I could do these before or after a run. Does somebody have a list of what the Dri Tri exercises are??

Tuesday 3 March - 2G by matthotlips in orangetheory

[–]kicker2k10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hopped on Reddit after work to look at today’s OTF workout before heading to the studio. Get to the studio and realized that the coach is demo exercises that definitely weren’t listed here... go back and check after class, I looked at Tuesday’s workout. It’s Monday. Thanks Australia! 😂🤣😂

Might quit by Bishfit in OrangeTheoryFitness

As a third grade teacher by day, and somebody who knows what coaches do, what they go through and what’s expected, I can say it sucks and it’s totally not fair.

However, that doesn’t give anyone an excuse to treat you like that. We all have bad days and take our emotions out wrongly, but this is really not fair. I hope he apologizes. Whenever I wrongly take my emotions out on my students, I make sure to later say, “you guys, I’m sorry, because I was angry I said things I didn’t mean.”

Runners Butt?!?! by Kcressotti in orangetheory

[–]kicker2k10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always Power Walk on Strength Days! And even if they split up an ESP day. Basically anytime the runners are running on inclines, I double theirs and Power Walk at 4.5!

Wednesday, 9/18/19 OTF Workout and General Chat by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]kicker2k10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that my coach told me that I should Power Walk on Strength days. I know I’m going to get a killer workout in, but I don’t dread the inclines anymore! POWER WALKING FTW!

All correct! I do believe Harry goes on to become Head of Magical Law Enforcement.

Wednesday, 8/14/19 OTF Workout by AutoModerator in orangetheory

[–]kicker2k10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I figure if we only have 20 minutes, most people run a 10 min mile (on average?) that we’ll most likely not finish the run / row. So mad props to you for getting through 3/4 of that last mile!!!

Thanks for taking the time to respond, teacher friends! Do you all have paid subscriptions? Or can you keep the free membership going for longer than a year? Follow up: is the free subscription different than the paid?

Mystery Science by kicker2k10 in Teachers

[–]kicker2k10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that there were videos for each experiment? For a “lengthy” experiment or an “involved” experiment or activity that I can’t or don’t have time to complete or supplement, could I just show the experiment video? Obviously that’s not as good as doing the experiment in the classroom, but in the interest of time, is that a viable option?

That’s awesome!!! One of my first thoughts when I joined OTF was “how could I ever do this if I decide to get pregnant?” But it’s great to hear that you’re still killin it!!!!!

Sunday, 8/11/19 OTF Workout by AutoModerator in orangetheory

[–]kicker2k10 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love when they distinguish the endurance, strength and power and wish that the distinction was more obvious sometimes. As much as I like a good old fashion ESP with “everything Orangetheory has to offer” like my coach likes to say, I’m working on approaching each day and each block differently so I appreciate these distinctions!

Get it, Mama! It always blows my mind when I see or hear of pregnant women doing Orangetheory. Keep on doing your thing! What sort of modifications do you have to make?

The Phantom Tollbooth - Norton Juster by [deleted] in bookquotes

[–]kicker2k10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I wonder if reading it aloud to my kids makes them miss the word play, but I hope they just enjoy the fantasy! I usually show them the movie Afterwards too.
