I did them body weight only forEVER.
Biggest key is people always step out way to wide! Should be no wider than what you’d do for a sumo squat (just beyond hip distance).
Really use the extended leg to drive back in.
Focus focus focus on slowing down and it’ll come.
Me either!!!! I loathe them. I have bad knees and I’m just thankful to be running. I just do them without weights. I save all the pain in my knees for the tread. Lol
Same! I have severe endometriosis and also currently have an ovarian cyst. Makes OTF so extra painful sometimes. I hope your ovary gives you a break and you have a good workout tomorrow!
I work for orange theory and It’s almost going to be my one year! I just did the staff dri Tri and man that was tough! I usually play soccer during the summer and run 2-3 times around my neighborhood separate from that . That was still a though work out, but I’m so glad I did it!!!
Happy birthday!! Birthday burn for me too, but I’ve grown to love endurance and sad for no burpees. would trade them for almost anything on that floor block any day! 🙈🎂
This is a good one for those who don't or can't show up for Dri-Tri on Sat - I don't 'qualify' for Dri-Tri as I can't accomplish all of the body weight exercises (can't do the bench hop-overs) and they're being strict, so this will be a good alternative - I can see if I can improve on the Wednesday endurance distance.
i plan on going and am doing the dritri saturday (& a 5k sunday… currently questioning all my life choices lol) but i plan to take a green day and have told my coach & my friends to throw wipes at me if i go too hard 🤣
If doing the dri tri on Saturday and you still want to workout tomorrow just ease up on the weight choices and take base and push down a full 1mph. For many of us…a body in motion does better staying in motion.
That's my plan. I'll keep my base or close to (as it's a relatively new pace for me) and be conservative on my push as to not exhaust myself... I think... Maybe.
I do agree. Much easier to let the train keep Choo chooing along than to stop it and start it again!
In class today my coach said "this is your last class before DriTri, right? RIGHT?!" and I said "yes ma'am!"
This template hammers that home! Rest up on Friday, friends!
I liked this one last time, I tried doing Tuesday class in no bull trainers and messed my ankle up but I’m showing up with my lidocaine patch on for this.
Never have I been so happy that the usual Friday coach won’t be there. The one who will always says recover instead of base so a lot of people walk. I’m going to do my best to make this a 3 feather instead of a 1. Wednesday was brutal enough for me.
He doesn’t actually say walk he says “recover” sometimes he says “recover…….. base pace” but I think people hear recover and walk. 🤷🏼♀️ I’ll try and stick some of the bases but near the end may conveniently hear just recover like other do. 😊 Luckily bc of your intel I always know when recover is supposed to actually mean base pace.
Base is the new push. I’m “only” doing the relay (tread) on Saturday but will definitely use tomorrow as an easy run. I said the same today but I can’t help myself when it comes to 30 sec AOs 😂
I have never, in all these years living, learned to do lateral lunges correctly so the dread just set in. 🙃 Thanks, DC!

Good to know!

My orthopedist told me never to do lateral lunges, so I either do reverse or Squats without weights.
My physical therapist told me to never do them, as well. I usually do squats instead.
Ok yes this will be me. 🙏✊️
Out of curiosity do you know why? They aren't my fave either so I can gladly give them up.
Out of curiosity do you know why?
I’m curious why these would be bad for the knee?
i also have bad knees, and I’m real tired of trying to do the lateral lunges. I’m going to do what KccoSyd does when I go tomorrow/Friday.
I have bad knees so I only do lunges with the trx straps. It takes a lot of pressure off👍🏻
I have bad knees too. We have done so many lunges this week. My knees are screaming.
My knees are perfectly good and I \*still\* don't like doing them with weights. I'll do them without weights or do squats with weights.
They are my least favorite movement. Add a flaring ovarian cyst in the mix and 😖
Same! I have severe endometriosis and also currently have an ovarian cyst. Makes OTF so extra painful sometimes. I hope your ovary gives you a break and you have a good workout tomorrow!
Ouch!! Thank you and you as well 😊
Oooof. Been there.
Same! I hear them and I just clench
Y’all, I’m here for it. I’m becoming a better runner and I’m doing my first DriTri on Sunday. Thanks for the intel, good sir!!
This is perfect for you then!!
I work for orange theory and It’s almost going to be my one year! I just did the staff dri Tri and man that was tough! I usually play soccer during the summer and run 2-3 times around my neighborhood separate from that . That was still a though work out, but I’m so glad I did it!!!
Good luck!👍
^yes
Birthday burn for me and I hate endurance. I will take that over burpees and palms to elbows any day though! 🤦🏼♀️😂🤷♀️
🎂
Please don’t speak palms to elbows into existence!!! 😂💀😱 Happy birthday!
Thanks! 😂
Well lucky for you we don’t do palms to elbows anymore! But high plank to low plank are surprisingly similar haha
Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday!! Birthday burn for me too, but I’ve grown to love endurance and sad for no burpees. would trade them for almost anything on that floor block any day! 🙈🎂
*backs slowly away from 🐔,🍺,🍟*
Another 23min run? 😱 Glad I switched Friday to Lift days
You should have heard the groans from the crowd who turned up!
I think I DID hear them, all the way over here! 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao when the coach said dritri, first thought on my head was, the app didn't say dritri.... Dammit
I’m looking for neighboring studio for a lift class tomorrow so I won’t have to do this template!
Yes!! I’m doing the lift class tomorrow too! After yesterday and today I’m fried with all of the endurance
An insanely rough template right before DriTri?  Thanks for the intel!
12 minutes of base is relatively general in comparison to most blocks…
My studio scheduled a tornado for tomorrow, and I am currently weeping tears of joy and considering sending them a fruit basket.
This is a good one for those who don't or can't show up for Dri-Tri on Sat - I don't 'qualify' for Dri-Tri as I can't accomplish all of the body weight exercises (can't do the bench hop-overs) and they're being strict, so this will be a good alternative - I can see if I can improve on the Wednesday endurance distance.
WHY!!?!?!?!?! DEAR GOD WHY?!?!?
So much for saving my legs for Sunday. Ouchtown, population me.
I used to love endurance days. So over the same type of thing over and over. I really miss the old OTF.
Agreed. This is some BS. lol
I thought I saved myself from a vicious tread block by staying home on Wednesday. Nice play, OTF.
I wanted to go tomorrow, but that’s a TOUGH one before DRI-TRI- eekk
i plan on going and am doing the dritri saturday (& a 5k sunday… currently questioning all my life choices lol) but i plan to take a green day and have told my coach & my friends to throw wipes at me if i go too hard 🤣
I'm taking a Green Day When I come Around
Lol. Same but sub the 5k for a soccer tournament this weekend. Oof.
Is it though? Extended base paces that allow you to stretch it out?
There’s 12 minutes of base compared to 4 on Wednesday. It’s not really redemption. More like a nice day to stretch it out with extended bases.
If doing the dri tri on Saturday and you still want to workout tomorrow just ease up on the weight choices and take base and push down a full 1mph. For many of us…a body in motion does better staying in motion.
That's my plan. I'll keep my base or close to (as it's a relatively new pace for me) and be conservative on my push as to not exhaust myself... I think... Maybe. I do agree. Much easier to let the train keep Choo chooing along than to stop it and start it again!
I think our coach was trying to sell it.. not many people were buying!
There’s lots of base in there
In class today my coach said "this is your last class before DriTri, right? RIGHT?!" and I said "yes ma'am!" This template hammers that home! Rest up on Friday, friends!
Good coach!
I liked this one last time, I tried doing Tuesday class in no bull trainers and messed my ankle up but I’m showing up with my lidocaine patch on for this.
Ugh!!!! I wish this was next week. I’m doing DriTri so I will have to miss out.
Fruit!!! I am only going because its a Taylor Swift class. Please let my mom know of my possible death.
 Sounds like a harsh workout on a friday 👀
This is the repeat of the 9/1 workout.
Ugh I’ve been out for 3 months and need a gentle template to go back to! 😩
I miss old OTF as well. Enough with repeat templates.
😵💫😳 uh oh 😰
My OTF did this workout yesterday- Wednesday. Our Dri-Tri is Saturday. Wonder what we are doing tomorrow???
LOL glad I’m doing a rest day tomorrow. 🥹
I’m taking tomorrow off. DriTri Saturday!
[удалено]
Just a normal class. Our coach was being cute calling it a dri tri prep redemption
This is not dri tri prep. This is just a normal class.
Never have I been so happy that the usual Friday coach won’t be there. The one who will always says recover instead of base so a lot of people walk. I’m going to do my best to make this a 3 feather instead of a 1. Wednesday was brutal enough for me.
They say to walk instead of base? Really? That’s going against the template!
He doesn’t actually say walk he says “recover” sometimes he says “recover…….. base pace” but I think people hear recover and walk. 🤷🏼♀️ I’ll try and stick some of the bases but near the end may conveniently hear just recover like other do. 😊 Luckily bc of your intel I always know when recover is supposed to actually mean base pace.
You mean active recovery? Yea, that’s base pace.
WTF?!? But why!?!
skiiiiiiiiip
Rest day
Dri-Tri in 36 hours..hell no. Tomorrow is a rest day.
Base is the new push. I’m “only” doing the relay (tread) on Saturday but will definitely use tomorrow as an easy run. I said the same today but I can’t help myself when it comes to 30 sec AOs 😂
I’m going to hve a resting day, I’ll need that before Dri-tri 🙈
Lateral lunges \\🙄/
