I have now been through 7 OrangeTheory classes. I feel quite inept at times, especially getting up and down off the floor. On the rowers and the treadmill, everyone is so concentrated on getting up to base - push - and all out, that, I can continue to do those three things, at my weight, push and all out come along well as my heart rate reaches those easily, maintaining them is more difficult. I'm like a fallen heavy animal when it comes to the floor/weight work. Bless all the trainers, they have offered to help and have been so very encouraging, as have my other class participants. It is what it is, I am by far in all my classes the most overweight (by a whole lot) and the slowest mover. Please don't think for a moment I am giving up! I'm very simply sharing that there is nothing wrong with being in an exercise class where you feel inept or out of place. People so want to champion you on, keep you going, and encourage you in the process. And i am proud of myself, it is a tough work out and i routinely burn more that 400 calories in my hour work out, I score over 20 points every time and I feel good. Points are scored when your heart rate is in the push and all out range. I know, that I would not push myself to this level with out the trainer encouraging us on. I've signed on for another month. Maybe I can put it all together this month, with a good food plan, exercise, and have an enjoyable holiday season!! Thanks for reading my post, we can do this together.
