Weight Loss and Exercise #8

Hi Tart Cherry Jam,

I actually do have an Orangetheory near me. It’s in the town about 15 minutes away from where I live and work. Maybe I can stop in one day and ask about it. I never looked into something like that because I thought the exercise would be too intense but if the trainer is willing to modify things on an individual basis I would definitely try it out.

I didn't work out today. I wonder if I'll lose weight in a couple weeks.

They will give you a free session to try. Orangetheory has three rows of equipment: treadmills, water rowers, and the floor (with dumbbells, benches, TRX, mats and BOSU balls). They have classes that use all three, and if you sign up for one such class, I recommend starting on the treads to get warmed up before proceeding to strength training. They also have classes where you do all treads or all strength.

The coach will definitely modify the exercises for you if you ask. For example, I cannot do pushups on the floor, so I do them with a TRX instead, per the modification from the trainer.

I highly recommend them as a medium price point alternative to personal training.
