So glad you signed up - yay! I honestly have never loved anything more. (I am also now a rabid rower. LOVE rowing.)<br /><br />One note on the heart rate: If you're still seeing most of your time in the orange even after you feel like you're settling in and getting in shape, talk to one of the trainers. I believe Orange Theory uses the maximum heart rate formula of 220 minus your age. So my maximum heart rate was set at 179 initially, but I was spending MANY MINUTES at 190+. Basically my heart rate stats looked like I was about to explode. I finally asked them about it (in an "Am I extremely out of shape?" way) and they said the formula is just a guideline and unless you do special testing on a treadmill while wearing an oxygen mask, you won't truly know your max heart rate. <br /><br />So they looked at my last 10-15 reports and took the average of my max heart rate from there and changed it in the system, and now I get more green and orange instead of all red. (Jason was the opposite: he was getting all green, even when he was sprinting at an incline. They adjusted his too.) So...something to ask about.

Um I am taking an immense amount of pleasure in this. Also, I'm using it as an opportunity to cull my Facebook friends. If someone posts something disparaging (or even a stupid YouTube video from their pastor about the sanctity of marriage) they swiftly get unfriended.
