NLU Peloton Thread - Weekly Ride: 30 minute 2010’s Hip Hop Ride with Ally from 7/25/24

They all do it sometimes … and almost all of them ride slower than they’re asking us to which is fine since they need to talk and focus in ways we don’t. Jess is a whole other ball of insanity

absolutely. no way I could talk and do whatever they’re doing on the mix board (I’m guessing messing with the timing to get the music to match desired cadence). But I do appreciate them mostly participating in the ride.

My wife being a Jess King fan makes me think I should make some propositions in the form of a question.

Tremendous work. I am most of the time able to move on from the types of comments like “breathe like you have gills” or “accept the energy of the universe.” HOWEVA - multiple times I had this reaction on the bike during this ride.

I can fully embrace her style albeit in limited quantities. I am in no way shape or form prepared for what I would encounter during a Jess King Experience. I truly believe there would be no coming back from that.

This makes me happy I’m out this week. I just can not do Jess.

I have searched and didn’t find any useful results…

without reading 4k post.

Does anyone us other types besides peloton?
Got an ad for MY Xfitness and looks comparable…plus added weights included for less price…

any help is appreciated.

Edit: I am fine just pulling the trigger on Peloton. Having difficulties getting my wife on the same page. Yes this is a microcosm of my life.

again thank you to those that encouraged me to take a break and utilize the stretching/yoga. I will be taking a beginner ride, stretching, and yoga again tomorrow. had another pretty good jump of about 20kj today on the PR from Monday, and 45kj jump over a week ago.

here was the first legit ride I had back on 1/10

about 2 weeks later and I’ve almost made a 100kj improvement. pretty content with that. although during the ride I had forgot about my “stretch” goal of 375kj by the end of Jan. I might have been able to push a little harder in the last couple intervals to hit that.

I’ll be curious what the scale says tomorrow compared to 2 weeks ago when I started. Not sure if all the extra work will have taken weight off, or if the additional strength and Orgain will push it up.

Just pull the trigger. No interest over 3 years makes it much more palatable price wise. My wife is addicted to the Peloton since we got it haha

My one friend has the schwinn ic4 that she uses the peloton app with and enjoys it. It’s about $1k cheaper than the peloton bike is now, you use the peloton app with your own tablet/phone in a cradle on the schwinn.

We pulled the trigger on the original bike just over a year ago and with the 0% financing it was a no brainer. Our monthly payment plus app payment is cheaper than what we were paying for our normal gym. (And now no commute to said gym!).

Same here for us. I’ll admit I was skeptical when my wife suggested we get the Peloton. But it’s been a blessing and I’ve been much more motivated to work out than I had been going to the gym.

Haters and losers, of which y’all are many need to pay respect to our Peloton Queen

Obviously don’t have the cool stats, but it was a fun ride to do and challenging for a beginner. I liked a lot of her energy but I could a low-carb version of her, she was a little much at times.

But I did an Alex Toussant ride today and really liked it. I hadn’t too many guy instructors but I think I might like that better.

:joy: I like that. I’ll probably skip Jess this week. Did her Jess King Experience not too long ago and she was talking about 3rd eyes and feeling myself deep down in the swirl of my double helix DNA. I knew i was in for a strange ride after that, but i was badge chasing.

Week one of the power zone pack winter challenge complete.

I’m 433 minutes away from the 1k badge. I’m trying to get at least 1k a month. I gotta average 55 minutes of stuff a day until the end of the month but I think I can do it. Time to start stacking lol.
