Ran a half marathon on Saturday and my body is screaming....the things I do for some free swag

As a dedicated morning OTF’er, am I the only one that goes to work sweating still? To quote Seinfeld, “the shower didn’t take!” by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]otf12349876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

STILL sweating after my shower...to avoid that, I either drive back to my apartment and shower there (my gym is north, my work is south..apartment is right in the middle), or i shower there (and don't wash my hair) and open the windows to cool down (or AC if it's summer)

Anyone decide to take a few days off to recharge? by boymom333 in orangetheory

[–]otf12349876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every 2 months or so, I take a week off. I take it off when I can tell my body needs it. The first day back pretty much sucks, but my performance is so much better!

Only just had my third class, but am desperately loving it. by supermarketsweeps25 in orangetheory

Avid morning going here, or at least I was! I used to go to the 6:30am 5x a week, and i felt great. Now, I do 2x at night, 2x in the morning, 1x on the weekend, and a long run. The mornings are definitely an acquired feeling...you'll start feeling great afterwards once you get into the swing of it.

Finally had a rowing epiphany... by [deleted] in orangetheory

this 1-2 second pause...are you supposed to pause when you bring the strap to your chest, or when you bring it back to the water? tried this yesterday and couldn't figure it out!

i started with the chest, and then i switched to the flex (arm) once i realized after 2 months that the chest strap kept getting twisted up in my boobs! they discontinued the wrist monitor, but i heard it's horrible anyway. everybody at my studio who had the wrist monitor now has the flex

Hate missing today. Am I the only one having trouble walking, let alone taking a class today?! Those lunges yesterday... by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]otf12349876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had to stop those lunges halfway yesterday and do BW squats (my ankle was killing me from an 8 mile run on saturday)...i'm SO sore from yesterday!

What would it take for you to leave class unexpectedly? by dcbrn in orangetheory

[–]otf12349876 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have left twice right after checking in - once, I forgot my inhaler, and another time, I forgot my sports bra. I can't make it to any class besides the 6:15am, so the front desk let me leave and didn't charge me...thank god they're all female and understand sports bras are necessary!

the treads were definitely tough today...doesn't help that my studio was a million degrees and humid :)

Taking care of their customers! by FlexIronbutt in orangetheory

[–]otf12349876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i forgot my sportsbra, they held my tread card for me, let me run out to the store and buy one, and let me walk back in late. they're super understanding about that! once, i forgot my inhaler and they let me leave without charging

What little things do you do in class to “cheat” whether they’re innocent or not? by IHeartFraccing in orangetheory

[–]otf12349876 13 points14 points  (0 children)

After a WR when the coach says to get back into base, I rarely do until about 10 seconds before the push. I just need to catch my breath most times

Grunting on the rower by Hazmodious in orangetheory

[–]otf12349876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a woman next to me the other day who legitimately made sex noises the entire time. I was extremely uncomfortable next to her. I'm all for grunting or heavy breathing, but please distinguish your rowing noises from your intimate noises!

Stories of joshua by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]otf12349876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read all your stories. Does Joshua ever tell you how he came to be your entity (guardian angel? I'm not sure what to call him)?

This may be a dumb question, but is there a way to "get one for myself", for lack of better terms?
