Rowed a 2:50.23 1000m last Wednesday, then ran a 6:22 mile today. Two new PRs to start the year! #orangetheory
Jared LiptonWhoever transitioned "I Got 5 On It" into "Mambo No. 5" in the mix I heard this morning during my #Orangetheory class, you are a virtuoso and a scholar.
breyeschowLife is currently chaotic good: The Moth tonight, writing deadline on Friday, Michigan speaking gig this weekend, coordinating 30 people to Palestine in April, Zephyr Point duties, Board responsibilities, plants need watering, and dog needs cuddling.
That said, because of #OrangeTheory, for seven hours a week, my mind gets to stop swirling. Grateful.
Headed to Salem OR for a weekend of speaking and preaching with Westminster Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church.
Also, tell me you are an author who schleps his own books/merch for the weekend and has to get in at least one #OrangeTheory class without telling me...
In non-election day new, some dude tried to gym bro me today at #OrangeTheory. Gave him that "Nope, not here. Also use lighter weights before you hurt yourself." look 🤣🤣🤣
Athena Masson, PhDWhen your coach tells you to show up in costume, you do it! #HellWeek #OrangeTheory
Miriam's on Medical LeaveThe trainers have been great on customizing the workouts for me to avoid bulking up shoulders—although thats recently just meant my glutes are getting a lot of attention and are constantly sore. 🤣
I can definitely see this becoming a cornerstone of our weekly routine and us settling in to the local microculture. Never thought transition would end up making me a gym bunny but really this is just surprising new life development #468.
Also got 23 splat points (23 minutes spent at >84% of my maximum heart rate), which is my best (and will get harder to match or beat as my max heart rate increases).
All of that was on the treadmill—I have yet to figure out how to get my heart rate up on the rowing machines without feeling like I'm going to vomit. I think it's a body-systems-mismatched thing (my arms are so sad compared to my legs) and I’ll get past it in time.
#OrangeTheory continues (and will continue through November cause its a 3 month starting commitment).
Am trying to internalize that when the trainer uses the words "last," "final," or "all-out," they are LYING. Its not the last push of the day's workout, its the last push of this block, and there are two more blocks. Don't actually go all-out because after that you're doing walking recovery and then two more rounds of "all-outs."
Watch the clock, Mimsy. It's an hour of sweating.
ai 🌈 🌺Worked out this weekend 💪🏽 and am in a challenge called Push 30, where we complete 12 workouts at OTF within 30 days, and practice 3 daily habits, e.g. hydrate more, eat more veggies, drop alcohol or candy, etc. i am a bit behind because I skipped workouts last week. I enjoy challenges like this to keep me motivated. 😊 #orangetheory
