I’ve done a few different check-in posts lately, and I promise this is the last one for a while. I set a lot of goals for myself for 2019 and part of those goals are Orangetheory goals! I partnered with my friend Andrew for setting some 2019 OTF goals and of course we had to check in with each other on our goals.
We originally planned to do a check-in sooner, but life has been crazy for us both and we didn’t quite get that done. But at least we are checking in now so we can make sure we take steps in the second half of the year to do our best to reach those goals.
I’ll start with my check-in.
My first goal is one I’ve discussed recently in a few posts. I want to do 200 workouts this year. I am making great progress toward that and I feel fairly certain that I’ll make it by the end of the year. It helps that I have a regular schedule of doing 4 workouts a week so I don’t have to think too much about it.
My next goal is to use the bike more than the treadmill. I wasn’t totally sure about this goal because I really do love that I have amazing accomplishments on the treadmill. So in order to force myself to work on this goal, I was determined to only use the bike for a chunk of time to get more used to it. Well, doing that has made me realize that I probably do better on the bike than I do even on my best days on the treadmill. I haven’t used the treadmill at all this year so even if I used it occasionally for the rest of the year, the majority of my workouts for 2019 would be on the bike. But I have no plan on going back to the treadmill now and look forward to just using the bike.
Next, I set the goal of getting a PR on the rower. I haven’t gotten my PR just yet, but I’ve done some great work toward getting that done. And even if I don’t end the year with a PR, I’ve made so many changes with my rowing that have made me stronger and faster on there. It’s just a matter of time before I get a PR.
I also set the goal of tracking the work I do on the floor more. This goal has been something I haven’t quite figured out. There’s not an easy way to track it as I do with the bike and the rower, but I’m going to work on what I can do so that at least I have some floor work tracked.
And finally, I set the goal of bringing more friends with me to class. I’ve been trying to get some of my friends to class but their schedules haven’t been matching up with mine. But I’m determined to get at least a few of them to a class before the end of the year!
And now it’s Andrew’s turn.
“My first goal this year is to go to a minimum of 3 times a week to Orangetheory.”
While this goal hasn’t been met overall for 2019, I’ve stepped up this goal to *four* times a week and while I haven’t been perfect — it’s really driving me to push myself (better late than not at all, right?!)
“Next, I want to level up on my push pace.”
This one is tricky because while I didn’t level up on my push pace, I for sure have been leveling up and pushing myself on my ‘All Out’ pacing. I pretty much only hold back on the all outs so I don’t fall, not because I feel like I can’t do it! So that’s a win in my book!!
“For my third goal, I want to FULLY prepare for my classes.”
Lol. Nope.
“And finally, be a better tracker.”
I still have no idea about my benchmarks or my measurements (although, I did try a ZOZO suit at the top of the year which….. told me enough lol!) Right now my main focus is just remaining consistent!!
Even though Andrew and I both have goals that need a bit of work, I think we are both making some amazing progress and I’m proud of us both! Also, I wanted to share the link to Andrew’s merchandise. He’s got some amazing stuff on there, including his limited Summer Bod gear. You should all make sure you check it out and subscribe to his YouTube channel if you haven’t already.
Now, it’s time to make the second half of the year even better than the first half!
