I'm spinning now because the studio is ridiculously close to my house.

I tried once, 11 years ago, and it was the worst fitness experience of my life and the only time I have ever slunk out of a workout room before the group was finished. But I have a friend obsessed with SoulCycle and I'm wondering if I need to give it another try. But then I think, I have OTF and I love it and I burned 725 calories before work this morning and ran 3 miles and found it FUN, so maybe I'm good?LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-47067187269980926292016-04-22T18:49:14.996-05:002016-04-22T18:49:14.996-05:00Do you spin?

I always felt like an impostor calling it that because I pretty much never talked about law (or do you just mean working in law? work/life balance, days in the life, actual mentionings of what I do for a living?). This is also not a criticism of your comment, I'm just now curious- what do you miss? <br /><br />I'm going to address the content of what you're asking in a post I just started because I realized my reply got too long- it's basically a combination of my thoughts on blogging, the evolution of this blog, and my constantly evolving career plan. It appears they're all intertwined anyway and you gave me the perfect prompt to write about them all!

That was the reason I and probably many people got into the blog, and while I do love hearing about everything else going on, I miss hearing about the lawyer you. I follow quite a few mommy blogs, and this is an excellent mommy blog, but it was also an excellent law blog. This isn't criticism, just curious.

Thanks for the article- makes me feel like I can have a second margarita tomorrow after my OTF workout :).

Both intensive cardio (or HIIT) and lifting weights is proven to increase something called EPOC. This basically means that, depending on how strenuous the workout, you will continue to burn even more calories in the 12-24 hrs after exercising than you would normally by just living your life as usual. It's got some sport-specific terminology, but this article here summarizes this all pretty well if you'd like to learn more: https://www.acefitness.org/blog/5008/7-things-to-know-about-excess-post-exercise-oxygen. And, whenever you're building muscle, that too amps up the calorie burn as your body repairs and strengthens while resting. I lift weights and do Crossfit, but I've tried barre, per your recommendation, and LOVED it. Sounds like OTF is an awesome activity in your rotation!! I really do need to give yoga a try...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18096205961909563933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-15829365073686061542016-04-21T15:16:43.406-05:002016-04-21T15:16:43.406-05:00Download the OTBeat app, click on Out of Studio wo...Download the OTBeat app, click on Out of Studio workout, make sure Bluetooth is turned on your phone, and press the button to connect.

I can't get mine to pair with my iPhone6, but I'd love to use it when I go running with the dog.

Also it's interval based- so you job in your "base pace" then do a segment of "push" and then occasionally and "all out," always returning back to your base. So I didn't run as far in 25 minutes as I might just going on the treadmill on my own, but it was WAY more fun and I actually got my heart rate higher and felt like I got more of a work out. And of course, you can go down to a walk any time you need or take a water break during the weights. With a barre, yoga, hiking background you'll have such a strong base!LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-12695603231465178842016-04-21T08:13:42.931-05:002016-04-21T08:13:42.931-05:00I've never done the Insanity DVDs, but I talke...I've never done the Insanity DVDs, but I talked to a friend who has and she thought it was similar in intensity except that Orangetheory gives you more cardio because of the 25 mins of treadmill intervals.

I'm going to try my first class next week at another location and I'm a little nervous. I do yoga, barre and outdoor running trails now (and am a former collegiate athlete, but that was 3 kids ago) but I still feel like I'm gonna get my butt kicked.
