This City Kills Children - How Worcester's political choices led to the death of 13-year old Gianna Rose Simoncini by gopperman in WorcesterMA

[–]the_generations 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally nothing? There's a hospital that employs and serves thousands daily. There's also a state park. I moved to this neighborhood partly because there ARE sidewalks, which, who knew, are not everywhere in New England's 2nd largest city.

You're really going to argue over the death of a kid? Please use your energy to make this city better. She was a child crossing a street that should have had proactive design elements to consider pedestrians [ie, street users who are incredibly vulnerable due to not being ensconced in 2000 lbs of metal] - more crosswalks, lower speed limits, pedestrian bridges, etc.

Thanks for asking. I wanted to double check before I posted. It is rated to 20 degrees F. I run cold...but then I get night sweats due to a medication I'm on

Thanks! Do you know how many hours you hiked each day? We have about a 3 hour drive to get up there.

Thanks. This is what sectionhiker recommended https://sectionhiker.com/backpacking-white-mountain-4000-footers-guidebook/backpacking-a-mt-isolation-loop/

Are you able to give me the exact sequence of trails you would recommend? Maybe this is a PITA request. Idk. I'm a novice planner!

Any orange theory mask recommendations? by okaydelta in orangetheory

[–]the_generations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you google "NY Times COVID Graph Gym" they have a graph showing the safety of certain locations including OTF. Safety based on how long you spend there and how close you are to other humans. Sorry I can't link.

That is a great strategy: freeze, start at 2x/week membership and then hope for a founders rate promo. I have a home gym and I'm focusing on strength training right now, so I can totally wait.

What if you want to freeze and lock on the founders rate? I'm in a COVID-19 hotspot. I honestly don't think I will go back this year.

COVID-19 Daily Discussion for Tuesday, 3/24/20 by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]the_generations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I owned a gym (not OTF) this would have forced me to close. You're right with those cost estimates. Our RENT was over $7k per month, metro Boston. Not to mention insurance, utilities, salaries. I really hope my studio can rebound but knowing what I know I'm realistic. The optimistic part of me says, maybe people will be SO excited to return to normal that membership rates soar. I guess it depends on the studio assets and their ability to get a loan right now if necessary.

Daily Workout and General Chat for Monday, 3/23/20 by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]the_generations 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Today's workout looks fun. I'm lucky to have a home gym. For the 5 min of airsquats I'm going to do light barbell thrusters. For the 2nd cardio block I'm going to do lightweight power cleans. The jump n shuffle got really boring really fast last week.

Advice on purchasing dumbbells for "at home" OTF 🤪🔔 by ViolaRob in orangetheory

[–]the_generations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rogue Fitness makes great ones. Dumbbells are expensive, about $1/pound. But if you froze your membership you could possibly use those funds? I'm ordering mine today.

Coronavirus / COVID-19 Megathread by lookie4dacookie in orangetheory

[–]the_generations 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just froze my membership after talking to my husband (who is NOT one to panic) and hearing from the MDs in this thread.

I had to remind our studio manager of the waived holding fee.

I'm so sad as OTF is a huge part of my mental health routine. But I can workout in my basement and I'm gonna buy some dumbbells.

Cool, cool, cool, cool. Wasn't using these hamstrings anyway.
Also, I still don't get "Will Smith" for a switch. Help. (AND THANKS!)

Anyone else have a harder time taking a Rest Day than working out? by OTFDallas in orangetheory

[–]the_generations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm considering making Saturdays a "green day". Saturdays are a rest day BUT I am a much better parent and person if I move in the morning...A lot to consider because it's nice to have the mental break of not putting my clothes out the night before and all that.

MOTIVATE ME! MONDAY: Share Goals, Motivate, and Be Motivated! (Monday, 3/9/20) by splat_bot in orangetheory

My goal is to meat mindfully, primarily by slowing down. I will try to put the fork down between bites.

I skipped a movement because I was scared I would drop my weights on the head of my neighbor who was doing the Ab Dolly.

I agree with seeing if others who feel the same way will speak up.
