After your last month working out at Orangetheory, ensure that you have a different workout program, even if it is at home. This will help ensure that your health and fitness progress does not regress after Orangetheory.
The good news is that you must already own an Orangetheory Fitness heart rate monitor, which is amazingly accurate and high-quality.

Therefore, starting your next fitness journey after OTF will have a starting point already.
