Orange Theory,,?
I’m 65 in January.
Tell Us More!
I would never have thought I could do any of it, but I can! Started out completely inept but the whole program is positive and inspirational, so I have been able to do more and more. Feel amazing.
The "theory" has to do with heart rate - you wear a watchlike monitor that tracks your heart rate, and as you move through the hour on rower/treadmill/"floor" (weights/bench) the color-coded TV screen shows what everyone in the class is experiencing - you can watch yourself going from gray (resting) to blue (very light exercise) to green (starting to move!) to orange (sweat!) and even to red (you are WORKING IT) - the THEORY is that if you spend 14 minutes in the orange zone, you burn calories for 48 hours afterwards. It works for me!
It moves so fast and the music is so energizing (although NOT my style LOL) it almost feels like you're at a nightclub getting your groove on. The coaches are fantastic. I have NEVER enjoyed exercise in my life, and I am addicted to this.
