Six of Six - #12DOF

This morning my wife Tiffany and I completed the six of sixth workout for the ORANGETHEORY FITNESS 12 Days of Fitness Challenge.

Just like their HELL WEEK CHALLENGE every October, Tiffany and I participate in the December challenge. Unlike Hell Week where we do ALL 8 days but the challenge is to complete 4 out of 8, we don't do all 12 days in the December challenge but we do most of them. It's important to note, we workout at Orangetheory 5 to 6 days a week, so you can still workout and not sign up to do the challenge. It doesn't exclude a member from not working out if that makes sense?

Anyway, just like many OTF Fanatics like Tiffa and me, we sign up, pay a nominal fee (of course lol) and bust our asses for the coveted swag corresponding to the challenge. For the 12 Days of Fitness this year we earned the socks and they threw in the shoe strings lol.

It's not about the swag itself but the accomplishment and the community aspect of the challenge that makes these so great and whatever motivates folks towards better fitness will always be a good thing in my book.

The workouts for December are not as brutal as the Hell Week sessions, but each day of the twelve workouts, the designated challenge for each day goes up a minute. Today, was an 8 minute challenge on the floor where the emphasis was on core work.

I ended up burning over 600 calories and hit 12 miles per hour on the last all out run to end the class. As some of you know, the last two years Tiffa and I both got a very rough case of COVID, we both experienced some tough injuries and recently were in a car accident. Those situations set us back and continue to hinder us in our workouts, but we keep on showing up. Running the sporadic 12mph warms my heart, because I used to run a handful per session and now I'm lucky to pull one out once a month and when I do it gets my pumped!

MORE LIFE
