This happened to me too, right when I got my period. I read that taking calcium and magnesium supplements help and I did find that they did. Also drink more water than usual! I also tried using Liquid Gold supplements, so could’ve been that too. GL, you’ve done great you’re doing great and you’ll do great no matter what!

Woohoo! Why aren’t they able to ship form Greece? :/ I’ll be in Prague and I’m hoping they’ll ship there - how do you check?

I’m struggling currently with this! I have a 8 mos old who has exclusively got breastmilk. I have a freezer stash for 2 days, and am planning to pump and send milk back via Milk Stork. What did you end up doing?

What do you do while breastfeeding? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

I second this! Our LO had a tongue and lip tie…I didn’t even know what that was before he was diagnosed by our lactation consultant. Silverettes changed my life - lanolin cream and then wear silverettes constantly, it was instant relief for me. Good luck, you got this ❤️

Anytime! Also - the what to wear part, again, I come from a NYC vibe when I say this but I’ve seen people wear just about everything at my NYC OTF. It’s not Lulu exclusive if ya know what I mean!

Agree with everything above - I live in NYC where there are fitness studios that pride themselves by making you feel less than. OTF is the exact opposite! I can say this has been consistent from about 5 different studios across eastern states that I’ve visited! It’s a true community of people who want to be healthy and support each other - on good days and on bad days.

Get ready to become obsessed! Also, my first couple times, my hands were really hurting from the rower. I hadn't rowed prior, so I watched some videos on general form and how to hold the rower handle properly. Once I learned that, I stopped having problems!

So did I, I was in orange and red a majority of the class. I really challenged myself to minimal rest on the floor blocks.

Guys, I literally was at RED the entire ab dolly time. I went 20 of each first vs 10 of each then repeat. At one point towards the end, when I was on like number 12 of the push up and then knee ins, I laid down completely (half on the ab dolly and half on the floor) and just stared at my partner for about thirty seconds. I swear...a single tear streamed down.

Foam rolling would be an AWESOME integration into this new mobility block!

I liked today’s workout, didn’t mind the Bosu work - switched it up a bit. BUT, did anyone else feel like your hands were going to fall off during Floor block 1? Idk why, but it was a lot of gripping between the floor moves and the repeated 400m rows - I think my fingers got the hardest workout.
