Hi everyone!

So, this is a bit of a vulnerable post for me as it feels silly so ask.

I recently had to stop doing Orangetheory because of lower back and sciatic nerve flare ups. I was in PT for 6 months last year. While I fully recovered, the flare ups kept happening because of the hard workouts and sitting so much for work (I’m a therapist). I finally had to call it.

Prior to that, I lifted pretty heavy or have been in HIIT classes on and off for years. My 38 years old knees are also saying, “Nah, girl.” 😵

While I’ve been a member of RPS for 2 years, I can honestly say this is the first time this is the only exercise I’m doing. With that being said, my brain keeps telling me I’m not doing enough. Since I’m not dripping in sweat or out of breath, it feels like it’s not doing enough. Needless to say, the inner dialogue gets pretty mean.

I wanted to ask if you pair RPS with anything else? Do you stack classes? How have you made this work FOR YOU?

I’d appreciate any feedback, encouragement, or feeling less alone in this. I feel so lost as I’m used to structure. ☹️

Thanks! 🪷
