Hello! 👋🏼
Nice to meet you all.
I feel like an absolute idiot for not being able to keep up and end up leaving early. I hope I’m not the only one. Long story short, I had to take antidepressants as a part of getting my mental health back into shape, and gained weight in the process. Maybe this is a vent, maybe this is a way to put it out there that Im just getting comfortable stepping foot into the gym. If you’re like me, showing up is A-Okay. I just did my first hot stretch and loved it. 💖

After going 4-5 times/week for over a year, I fell off in June due to various reasons. Now that those reasons have resolved I'm looking forward to jumping back in but also dreading how much weaker and less flexible I've probably become. I also need to reacclimate to the heat.

It's hard/discouraging because I remember so recently being able to kick ass at these workouts and now it feels a little like starting from scratch but oh well. I'm back.

How on earth are the top members burning so many calories?

I’m super competitive and want to be in the top 3 for my local board for once. I’m normally in the top 30.
I did 3 hits and 2 iso workouts today trying to get to the top of my local leaderboard and burned close to 1k.

Edit: I’m really just wondering about the global one. My local seems fair. But how the hell are people burning 17k in 3 days. You’d have to be grilling steaks out back and doing continuous workouts.
