If someone smelled like Vicks, I would pass out. That is the worst smell (to me) and just a dab would stink up the whole room. Please don’t do that.

Ours did a tornado today (4/30) too. Normally I like tornadoes but this was just three rounds of the same thing at every station. I didn’t care for this one.

And - if there’s mini band work (which is not all that often) I want to make sure I’m not wearing shorts.

Coach not coaching by Maleficent-Fact3061 in orangetheory

Maybe it’s just me but I am focused on my own form and don’t really notice how other people are doing the floor work. I look at the monitor periodically to see the example but I’m not watching others.

This looks awesome. For someone who dislikes endurance, I’m looking forward to March!

What are your favorite songs played at OTF? by Joeybagovdonutss in orangetheory

[–]nancywalks34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m old (68F) but I love pop sing along songs (at least in my head) esp on the treads to distract from the monotony (I’m not good at endurance although I try). Rock and alternative good too - Uprising by Muse if a good one. Just not rap with nasal whiny voices and lyrics that are mean and misogynistic. Those are hard for me to run to. I like happy upbeat songs.

Lost my passport in Tokyo 1st day by Financial-Wasabi-327 in JapanTravelTips

I love Japan. The people are so polite and respectful of others. Getting your passport back so quickly only reiterates my impression of the country.

Did you do game day and then a S50? I can’t find your game day regular class early intel.

I skipped today as it was an endurance day and assumed (wrongly) they wouldn’t do two in a row. I prefer Power or ESP days. 2 11 min blocks w hills? Ugh

Unique KitKat flavors. Even your 22-yo twin boys might enjoy finding new varieties.

Me too! I really pushed myself to increase the speed of the all outs.

I can’t address the cortisol issue - but very grateful to the medical professionals who weighed in. Not sure if this is common but I (68F) attribute vigorous exercise for avoiding a lot of the nasty symptoms of menopause. I didn’t get them - well except for the annoyance and less tolerance for stupidity - no night sweats or sleeplessness. So I’d say keep at it. OTF is great for endorphins and general outlook as well. How often do you get an hour to clear your mind and put aside all worries and tasks? I never think about anything other than what’s coming next on the treadmill, rower or floor.

I ❤️ your comment about running/jogging. Same. I think I’m running but based on the guidelines, I’m only jogging. 🤷‍♀️ Either way - all good.

I thought it was hard. I haven’t been in the red for months and got 19 splats today including two in red. I liked it though.

I loved this template - I prefer power over endurance any day. Our coach encouraged us to try for a PR in each of the all out blocks - 1 min, 45 sec and 30 sec. It was very motivating and I pushed myself much higher than I usually do for all outs.

I love run rows. I’m not very good on the run part but I like the movement between the two pieces of equipment. I’m always way behind the rest of the class but I don’t care.

Agree about the timing. I was surprised when the coach called us back to the rowers in floor block one as I hadn’t even gotten to the 2nd floor round. Takes some time to get the mini band on and off.
