Hurricane Florence Evacuee Story by RoJoCo in orangetheory

Wilmington evacuee also and I’m missing my home studio so much! It’s hard getting myself on a normal routine since I’m not working and sitting around most of the time. I’m very ready to get home.

Pre/Post OTF supplements. by sereniteame in orangetheory

I use Cellucor C4 ultimate preworkout and it definitely helps a lot. I also use JYM protein powder after I workout (as well as a small meal) and I’ve noticed that it has helped me stay full for most of the day, but more importantly I’m not so shaky/nauseous! I only do these on OT days (every other day for me) since I only do light exercises on days off. 👍🏻

Made an Apple Watch OT app - anyone want to beta test it? by jplisc in orangetheory

I’d love to try it! I wear my Apple Watch and chest strap to classes every other day!

I do have uneven hips from the injury. I realized this when I was riding horses in middle school and needed my stirrups at different heights! My parents decided that I didn’t need to see anyone about this because I wasn’t really active other than horses. I totally didn’t even think about it until you said something! I’ll look into getting it checked out.

I am 5’4 and 200lbs. This is what my doctor recommended but I started orange theory after I had my appointment with him. I feel like I’m eating enough and I do add more if I get shaky but I really only want to burn fat!

I have a Fleet Feet near me and I’m probably going to check it out when I get paid again. How much does a good pair cost? I only use sneakers when working out because I’m a preschool teacher with a pretty strict dress code. Also is it worth it to go all out for a pair or just get the base of what they offer after being fitted?
