Way to go and have fun breaking in the new zones

For those wanting the swiveling screen, but not the other stuff from the bike+, we just bought this bracket and have been happy with it.... https://topformdesign.com/product/pivot/

Just retested my FTP today. Total output of 327, avg output 273. Up from 271 total, 226 avg. Huge improvement in just a month and a half.

Holy crap, nice jump! Way to go!

I'd like to start riding, but my recumbent bike murders my lower back and hips. Any chance an upright like a peloton would help this issue?

Just got my Bike+ delivered yesterday! Ready to get started.

Without looking through the whole thread can someone recommend a first ride they liked? For reference, I work out regularly (4-5x a week) but have always been a runner, not a rider, so this is my first spin/stationary bike for regular exercise. Thanks.

The Denis Morton ride from 10/29/20 has an amazing playlist. The Beatles Ride is also good, did that one this morning.

Prince ride is a lot of fun

Long time lurker on this thread, first time poster...

We've had the bike for a year now (this thread pushed me over the top to order), I've used it way more than my wife (she simply never liked riding the bike). This year, we splurged for the Tread+ for Christmas and had it delivered a couple of weeks back. It's FANTASTIC. Really enjoy being able to alternate between both.

That said - the Matty 30 minute Holiday Run may be the most fun class I've ever taken. I have no idea how he kept up the Mara Thonner act for the full time while running, total blast. My wife did it after me, and then she did it again today. Thanks for the rec.

So glad you liked it! It's just so light hearted and fun. It took him 2 hours to get ready!

Welcome!

I've had my Peloton for about 2 weeks and love it! I had been doing spin classes at my gym 2-3x a week for about 4 months before I got my Peloton.

Now that I have the convenience of my bike at home, I can foresee me doing cycle classes more than 2-3x a week.

Do you all ride everyday? Or how many times a week? I don't want to exhaust myself but it's fun and convenient. I'm also trying to lose weight and don't know if I need to vary my workouts more?

I do spin and light weights 3-4 times a week and heavier weights 3 times a week.

I do 2 rides a week, but running is my main sport. Matt Wilpers always suggest 3-4 rides /week

welcome to the club! I try to ride 4x a week and also do strength training 3x a week, then a rest/recovery day of stretching/yoga. Sometimes I throw in a bike bootcamp to switch things up.

I end up averaging a ride session every other day. During a challenge, I can get up to 6 or 7 rides per week. In between, usually about 3 or 4. I love it, too, but it's good to vary it up. Usually play basketball a couple times a week, and also lift once or twice per week.

I'll be there. congrats nitro and mrsbeer!

Peloton's refurbished thing is over, apparently.

New Bike is at 2-3mo and Bike+ is worse.

I just realized my #200 will be the Wilpers live class Thursday at 5am central

I'm signed up for that one also, so I'll send you high fives in both classes!

I'm at 198 but that include cool down rides...going to ride today and tomorrow. Should I delete some of those cool downs to do #200 too?

You do you, but the cool kids are hitting 200 on Thursday

What's even worse is you not asking your buddy Andy for his referral code

I'm probably going to buy used if I can land one.

Done 5 rides so far and really enjoying it. Haven't done a live ride yet but will try this weekend.

I find I try harder in live rides

FYI, I just noticed that Matt has a new 15 and 20 minute ride for beginners for those who recently asked about where to start.

What happened to Nitro? He fell off my screen about half way through.
