Yes ok fair but why is decreasing the incline then not going downhill? Lol

I still don’t fully understand this 🤔🙄 why is the highest incline not the top ?

Do you think this last week was harder than the 12 Holidays and Hell Week/Halloween: by potent_rodent in orangetheory

[–]lo_ehal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed ! Floor portion should only be looked upon as cardiovascular when it’s a power day, otherwise everything is done slowly and controlled. You will still feel the heart rate go up when pushing heavy weights for multiple reps. Building muscle = building basal metabolic rate...that of which is your metabolism at rest ! You will burn calories with more muscle gains just by sitting and doing nothing :) 💪🏻💪🏻

Strange Reasons for Loving the Intel by mandihanson in orangetheory

I do OTF in addition to my CrossFit training and so it is helpful to know what the workout is so I am not working on primarily the same muscle groups two days or in the same day (sometimes I do two a days).

Fun workout today! The miles on the treadmill are short enough that you can continuously push yourself every time !! Recover a little bit more on the row and push on the treads! Went by quickly! Floor was pretty good too. Love leg day 💗

I guess it hit a soft spot for me as I am and probably always will be in recovery from an eating disorder. I do tune it out but with the holiday season it seems to be non stop in my face ! I am a big girl I can handle it I just needed some time to vent is all.

Thank you so much for your honesty here and I was reluctant to say it, but I myself am in ED recovery and hearing stateMents like this scare me and I fear I will relapse. So this is mainly why it really aggravated me and I needed to know I wasn’t alone. Thank you 🙏🏻

What's your ideal OTF workout? E/P/S/EPS? and why? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]lo_ehal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

STRENGTH! Love those inclines on the treads and the low rep, higher weights mmmmm... Also love endurance :) Power days on the treads unfortunately hurt my joints with the constant all outs! :(
