I work a lot of nights and just can't get up to work out at 5 am or I would have gone more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523426 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:47:09 +0000 Mrs D 2523426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Good input! I'll definitely try the class...</p> <p>As with DD1...the weight is just not coming off post partum...I am so jealous of the ladies who just "shed weight breastfeeding"...I wish I was so lucky!!!</p> <p>I have 30-40lbs to lose...so as long as I keep my eating in check I think any workout routine will be beneficial! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523419 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:41:45 +0000 avivoca 2523419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: I LOVE OrangeTheory and am saving up so I can go back after I have the baby. It's amazing. Everyone works on their own level, the trainers are super encouraging and nice, and while I didn't lose weight, I did get stronger and lose some inches. My running splits really improved in my race training. I suggest trying it once. I was hooked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523412 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:39:39 +0000 Mamaof2 2523412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: when I started I was a speed walker - you do what you can do :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523407 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:38:29 +0000 Mrs D 2523407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Ok - I was nervous it was like paying for a 60 min class where 30 straight minutes were running! ;) I can do interval running...but at 6w pp the idea of a 30 minute run makes me want to vomit!</p> <p>I havent done Hammer and Chisel but I loved the 21DF workouts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523401 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:36:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2523401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh, I did Hammer and Chisel </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523400 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:35:56 +0000 Mamaof2 2523400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: OTF its a 60 min program</p> <p>You either start on the treadmill or on the floor doing weights. Your runs are done in 3 phases, base, push and all-out</p> <p>I am not a runner per say so I did 5mph as base, 6.5 for push and 8 for all out runs</p> <p>You might do a 3 min push, walk for 30 seconds then repeat then do a 1 min all out. Its different every single day.</p> <p>There are also water rowers - they are mixed in with treadmills and floor work.</p> <p>I highly suggest you go try a session - ours has them for free </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523388 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:32:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2523388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend does it and loves it. She's early 40s and has a body of a 25 year old. She eats well too though. She goes early in the morning before taking her daughter to school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523387 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:32:17 +0000 Mrs D 2523387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Woah...they have you run for 30 mins? Which Beach Body did you do? 21DF? I have the DVDs for that...I just struggle sometimes to commit...I was thinking to $$ investment of signing up for OTF would encourage me to go... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523384 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:28:11 +0000 Mamaof2 2523384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: I went there for a year. I liked that they told you exactly what to do.<br /> However, I never saw any changes to my body.</p> <p>In January of this year I quit going and did a Beachbody workout at home for 60 days and lost weight and inches.</p> <p>thoughts:<br /> 1) I didn't watch my diet while going to OTF and I should have - totally blame that on not seeing results<br /> 2) loved being able to see my heart rate on the big screen and know if I was pushing hard enough<br /> 3) I much prefer weights to the 30 mins of running at OTF<br /> 4) Its pretty $$<br /> 5) trainers were young and had smoking hot bods - haha - nice to look at while exercising =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orangetheory-reviews#post-2523364 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:19:59 +0000 Mrs D 2523364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for reviews on your experience with Orangetheory?</p> <p>I am trying to find a workout I can do once I am cleared by my Dr - I think I need a little more structure so I am thinking of adding a class like this.</p> <p>Did you like it? Did you see results? </p>
