The Process
ello AFM! Today, I’ll be covering my workout at Orangetheory. Despite running two marathons in my life, I still don’t enjoy cardio more than lifting heavy things. Knowing the emphasis Orangetheory places on cardio, I was still excited to try it because I enjoy fitness of any kind. Getting into a fitness routine is challenging. People are often confused about how much they should lift or run and how hard to push themselves. Orangetheory does a great job managing this for you. Before we jump in, this month’s Ambassador’s Corner supports the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation, which has been advancing conservation in Texas for 30 years and counting. Thank you for your generosity and support in transforming Texas for current and future residents. Every donation goes toward caring for our state’s wildlife, habitat and natural resources.
AUGUST 2022
Orangetheory offers many classes, but they still give you their undivided attention on your first day. The instructor for my class was actually a high school friend of mine named Anna, so I arrived 30 minutes early (they recommend 15 minutes) to catch up. During this time, you sign some liability waivers, tour the gym and hear how the heart rate monitor works. Once the previous class cleared out, Anna showed me around the room and told me how to work the treadmills, rowing machines and weight floor section. Every station is labeled with a number, which is where you stay at each station. Once I was familiar with everything, it was time to work out! My heart rate appeared on the treadmill and big screen TV, and I was off!
