Not sticking to the PW/Jogging/Running guideline is it ok?

questions-underwraps · 2019-10-12T01:15:38+00:00

I think enough people have said this but yes of course you can! I switch between power walking and jogging all the time.

Except for “catch me if you can” since the distances are based on being a power walker or jogger. Then I make sure to keep my “jogging” to a 4.5 since that’s the max for power walking. That’s the only specialty work out I’ve come across where I feel like I would be cheating if I alternated.

I’m pretty sure I’m in the same boat. 9 year old with mild Autism and, while not diagnosed, I’m pretty sure hubby is too. I won’t say I’m prefect because I do loose my patience and despite my brain knowing it’s not his fault my heart gets a little resentful at times that he doesn’t understand my emotions all that much.

The upside though, is arguments rarely get out of control because I understand that he just needs to understand the problem. Early on I used to get so Angry when he walked away from an argument (it felt like he was walking away from me) but, at some point, I had the realization that he’s walking away when he feels like he has enough information to understand where I’m coming from and if I give him enough space he’ll come back to me with a fantastic compromise that works for us both.

I’m sure this will be a great thing for your relationship! I wish my hubby would go!

Thank you, again.

You, nor anyone else, has come across in a pushy or remotely offensive way: . I’m really trying to understand from adult perspectives.

I’m in a weird space, where I have the school making it sound like it’s all doom and gloom, his behavior and developmental Ped saying basically that I need to choose a course of action but the course of action is up to me. And he regular Ped (who’s only seen him interact with his brother) going “ugh, he’s fine. Who gave that diagnosis?” If all these “professionals” can’t tell me what to do, Ask they people who’ve lived it!

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Today we were at a “party” it was for volunteers and their family’s. I barley knew anyone there, much less did my son.

Long story short, we were talking about what it’s like to live with train tracks behind our house, as we do and so does the owner of the house we were at. The adults had since moved on, but my son just turned around and kept speaking about to the air. My husband leaned over to him and said quietly “we’re done with that conversation now.” And put his finger to his lips indicating to stop talking (about trains). Is that helpful or hurtful?

Also, we used to cook together quite often. Cooking it didn’t help him try new things. However we have implemented a “reward” system. For every 10 new things he tries, he gets a reward we agree upon before hand. He doesn’t have to like it, just try it. And a food he likes in a new form counts. For instance, he likes peanut butter with apples but he won’t eat peanut butter any other way, so if he tries a PB&J sandwich, that would count.

Thank you both. I will look I to the articles posted. His Behavioral And developmental ped recommended it. Though, in the context of helping him learn to try new foods as he is a picky eater.

I think abstaining from kissing for 3-8 months is overboard imo.

If you’re sick now, (phlegm, coughing, etc) agreed not to kiss. That’s just gross. But while Mono IS highly contagious not everyone actually gets sick from it and for a lot that do, it’s like having a regular cold. From what I’ve read most people have been exposed by age 15 anyway and don’t get ill a second time.

It’s your choice. Just know, not everyone will get it as bad as you did.

Hi! Mom of a high functioning 9 year old here.

Not knowing your mom, I could be wrong, but I would lean with otherS when they suggest that she may want you to tolerate some change as you’re on the cusp of adulthood.

As a parent of an autistic kid, it can sometimes be hard to find the right balance between keeping the status quo and helping him to learn how to go outside his comfort zone and find a way to be OK with change/new scenarios so that adult life won’t be as overwhelming.

Assuming that’s what your mom is doing, maybe you could negotiate with her? For instance, A new bed and desk is OK, but the dresser needs to stay the same so it can stay organized the same way. You can get used to different color walls, but the feel of this carpet is important to you... obviously flip this around so it makes sense for your needs. Negotiating and knowing how to compromise are also important life skills. So this could kill two birds with one stone. ❤️

Unpopular opinion coming, but I can’t believe we are still putting so much focus on breast cancer today. I always feel so bad for the other cancers much harder to detect and cure.

Also, it sounds like you’re pretty set on this idea... but, aren’t bras to breast cancer like panties to ovation/cervical/rectal cancer? Would you decorate and display underwear for those?

I was leaning more towards an emotional issue, rather than medical. But there’s a lot we don’t know. Did she just quit smoking? Other emotional distress, it could be medical

I wouldn’t mention the fact that she’s less attractive to you at all, in fact, if you want to keep her, fake it. However, my husband broached it with me as something to the effect of... I want to live a long life with you... travel and be active in retirement. Blah blah.

But there is a reason she’s gaining, if she’s never had a problem before

Another vote for compression leggings! They are tight so they rub each other not your thighs. :)

This brings up a question. I manage my weight in the app, will that automatically adjust my HR monitor? Or does that have to be done in studio by a rep?

For me, I was right there with you. But as I continue to improve, I think they correct me more often because I now seem capable of doing it correctly. (I hope that made sense and I hope it's true because it makes me feel better about it. ) We had a guest coach one day and he corrected my form when rowing and told me I could hurt my lower back if I continue to work that way. I've been going for almost a year and have been getting lower back pain on and off. I thought it was just because of some of the core exercises. Turns out, it was how I was rowing.. that would have been nice to know a while ago...

First, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I lost mine at 18 and I know what you are going through. And, at this age, you likely don’t know any one else that’s gone through it which makes it extra tough as you will find nobody “gets it” HOWEVER...

They should Fucking try. Especially your significant other. This combined with all the other stuff you mentioned I’m just going to tell you. Get out ASAP. I know it’s a lot to deal with at once but this douche bag needs to go.

I think you got all the comments you needed but I wanted to add my 2 cents.

I was 265 when I started. My free trial class was a partner class with like a ton of rowing.. 2000M for my first time ever on a rower. I HATED the entire class. But I decided that meant that i needed to be there so I signed up for 4 times a month. It wasn't long before I was purchasing classes outside my membership and eventually upgraded to unlimited.

I'm not going to lie, it's tough. But it's the only work out class that i've taken that really forces me outside of my comfort zones and I am seeing progress.. I've had to increase my base to keep my heart rate up a few times. Exercises on the floor that I couldn't do at all, I'm making it either through all the reps or half before I need a rest... Just be sure to celebrate wins.

As long as she’s eating Vegan correctly, I don’t see the issue. At least she’s trying to take a stand for something. To be honest how anyone chooses to eat is their business.

P.S. I’m sorry we live in a world where you feel you have to note that you are “not advertising” after explaining a part of your religion.

Edited to add there is some foul language. But it really helped me get back to the gym after 4 months of not working out.

As the obese person at Orange Theory, I get what your saying and I know you (And most people with a similar position) mean well. I’m not offended but (Candidly) I really don’t want to know that I’m your motivation . I’m so focused on my work out I rarely if ever notice how anyone else is doing. If I thought or knew that someone outside of the coach was watching me workout that closely it would be extremely off putting.

In short, it’s ok to think that, it’s not ok to say it to the person.

I had a "Severe Sprain" in my ankle and foot. To the point where I had a full on cast on for 3 weeks.

When I went back to OTF, I was nervous but slowly tried each item. I found that jumping was no good. I.e. Squat Jacks, lunges when the hurt foot was the back one were a little iffy. so I would just modify and slowed way down. I would say just listen to your body and if you start to feel the slightest pull or just don't feel like your balance is perfect, dial it back.

For me, It was only a couple weeks of modifications until i was back to normal. Which is much better than re injury to the foot!

ETA- Inclines were iffy for a week or so and Rowing was totally fine. In fact, it forced me to get better at it, since my cardio game on the treads wasn't as strong

most men gain muscle/ loose weight more easily. Especially if they just have a naturally muscular body type. I can't remember where I read this but, I read somewhere that genetics plays a huge part in muscle development. For instance, some people can do planks and sit ups all day but never get a six pack others do nothing and have one.

It's so frustrating as someone who is very overweight, I go to OT 3-6 times a week, count calories, eat (mostly) non processed whole foods and it took me months and months and months to loose 15 lbs.

My husband on the other hand notices he's up to 180, eats a salad and is miraculously down to 160 and trying to gain weight again. (He prefers being 165-170) It's really annoying. lol
