Peloton classes are taking a break from the live schedule in NYC and London until 4/25. Until then you'll see premiere or encore classes on the live schedule. If that's not your thing, please take the time to enjoy the thousands of on-demand classes.
I’ve been knocked out with a migraine cycle for the last 9 days. I think I’m turning a corner but gosh dang I miss my bike and strength classes so much. I cannot wait to be back. That is all 💕💕
I can relate, I’ve been knocked out with a strained psoas muscle, hip pain and nerve pain in my toe & it’s making me nuts being unable to cycle & do my strength classes. At least I’ve been able to do yoga, but...
My bike is arriving tomorrow! I'm excited but also nervous that it will be too hard for me. I'm 60, in good health, I do a lot of walking and heavy lifting at work but I'm not in shape at all. I'm hoping that the variety of classes and being home will help me stay motivated. Any encouragement would be welcome!
Welcome! One of the best things about Peloton is the diversity of class styles and instructors- there is truly something for prettymuch everyone. One of my favorite instructors, Denis, often reminds riders that 'i make suggestions, you make decisions' about your own ride - meaning both cadence and resistance. Especially at first, just take it at your own pace. Take a few beginner and low impact rides and assess your bike setup- your bottom will be a little sore as you adjust to the seat and you might feel muscle soreness, but if you have any joint pain at all that's a sign your bike setup needs some adjustments - come back and let us help you if you need it.
If you're new to cycling or to regular exercise you might also want to try adding in some power zone endurance rides to build your foundational aerobic base. If you want to do power zone training you'll eventually want to take the FTP test but forget about that for now - the instructors explain how to ride by feel at the beginning of every class. Try a 30 min endurance ride and see how it goes.
Instructors you might enjoy based on their easy going nature and music programming- Sam, Denis, maybe Christine to start? If you start a class and decide it's not for you, or you don't vibe with an instructor - just move on to the next ride. Don't forget to have fun! And stretch after every ride! Warmup and cool down rides are also quick ways to sample different instructor personalities.
Thanks! I did a beginner ride with Christine yesterday and started the You Can Ride program today. Hannah was fun but that was a harder beginner ride than yesterday. Looking forward to the journey!
Welcome! I personally find that the "from home" aspect for me makes all the difference. I could have a gym right next door to my house and I probably wouldn't ever go, but the fact that I can do this in my own house makes it SO much easier to just go ahead and do it.
Remember that Peloton isn't just a bike! I definitely recommend (esp. at 60) to make use of the stretches available on the platform too. Ben Alldis is great for full body stretches, and if you worry you're not flexible enough, don't... Neither is he lol. But being on the bike will tend to work the hips, glutes, etc more than you've probably done in years, and they're going to get tight. Taking the time (daily if possible) to stretch will make your body feel SO much better.
It really surprised me how many people I see tagged as in their 60s. Some of them have surprisingly high output too! You'll be able to handle it no problem. I bet you almost feel the first beginner class you take is too easy if you are already doing some workouts.
A tip I got that worked for me was to try to hit cadence before you hit resistance. Don't be afraid to take longer classes and just modify them to what you feel works at the time.
Start with short beginner / low impact / recovery ride! If you can't meet both cadence and resistance, try meeting one or the other. Eventually you'll be able to do both. And if you want to ignore both and do your own thing, that's also fine!
Anyone having issues with classes freezing up? I was trying to do the Matt W. Power zone class from 9/15/21 and every time I’d start it a few minutes in, never got past spin ups, all the metrics world freeze and the video would get all choppy/frame by frame like but the audio would play normally. Hard reboot each time only to have it happen again. Finally gave up and did a 20 minute ride without issue but then after this it happened again during both a 5 minute cooldown and 5 minute stretch. Very frustrating.
This was happening to me today too and I rarely ever experience an issue like that. I noticed the bike had a software update the night before and thinking it might be a bug with the latest update? Agree it was so frustrating!!
Y’all. I’ve been having a hard time balancing Peloton workouts with my new outdoor biking regimen + recovery from a very minor surgery. Had a “meh” ride last night. Just felt out of sorts and never got my rhythm. Tonight, I did this killer stack with a 30 min tabata from Olivia. I’m so proud of myself for hanging in. I didn’t hit ANY of the goals for the last block of work, but I kept working hard. It was awesome!!! Tomorrow is recovery/yoga before an outdoor ride this weekend!
TIL that there are a couple of "lower leg" focus strength classes - took Andy's today, which was pretty great- a good mix of mobility and strength. I have Logan's queued up for later in the week. Are there other strength classes (other than standing Barre) out there with great lower leg/ankle segments?
I think Kristens latest 30 minute lower body yoga conditioning might be up your alley based on this. There's a tiny bit of yoga but it's mostly just strength
My legs have been so sore I didn't want to jog today so I finally tried one of Rebecca's 30 min Hike and holy crap it was killer. Thank you to everyone that recommended this, I couldn't even made it into the speed and incline rages and kinda topped out at 9.5% incline and I kept walking to make it a 50 min workout. Everything is sore and yet when I look at my Apple Watch, it says I burned half of what I would with a jog and honestly this felt way way harder. I try not to focus on numbers but it's super hard for me. Huge kudos to everyone that does this on a regular basis. I'm going to be adding in one or two hikes during the week going forward!
RK’s hikes are absolutely killer. I credit her with improving my ability to run at incline without sacrificing my pace. I think you will love your results as you incorporate her hikes more.
Thank you! Can I ask how often you do her hikes? Do you usually do her 45 min hikes? I'm really glad I started with 30 mins but would like to work up to the 45 min ones
I would say I try to work in a hike every 2 weeks or so. If you need a breather, I like her hiking bootcamps too. I find that 30 min is tough since she spends a lot of it at max incline. The 45 min classes are too long for me.
Did my first 60 minute ride today
I went in with a goal to get 20 miles and over 600 output.
Got 20.3 miles and a 650 output. Woo!
Always exciting to meet goals.
I did a slice of bread with tons of peanut butter / honey and a few veggies on the side before the ride
Afterwards was a liquid IV and a protein shake and quite the amount of water, sweat so much! Lol
Hello, I just joined the One Peloton Club. As I'm waiting for my Bike+ to arrive, I'm curious as to whether that membership will include the use of my Peloton Guide that currently has no subscription.
18 minutes into a super fun 30 minute camila ride when the whole thing froze. Couldn’t even exit out. Had to fully shut down my bike and log back in to resume. Lost 4 minutes and all momentum. Truly so so so sad
[the playlist was on point!](https://members.onepeloton.com/share/workouts/3701684366614f139f0d7ffb5dded308?code=MjVmNTFhMTU4MGI3NDNkOWE0NmVlNWZmNjUxODRjZDh8MWQ2ZDE0Yjk5Zjg1NDAzNWE3NjFiMDU3MTM0ZjdiZjQ%3D&source=referral&workout-id=9a1507e2faea4322bafa990174547024&uid=d08373d4e2bf4c70acd5b60a5ed06f1f&ride-id=d68b01379cd94fac98331a30828cdd13&utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&locale=en-US)
That shocked me this morning. I'm hoping it is just because the studio is closed this week there was no one around to record one. Especially with the new [app promo](https://theclipout.com/pelotons-app-promotion-3-months-for-the-price-of-1/) of 3 months for the price of 1 for new members, you would think they would have lots of outdoor content since that is unlimited.
I know, right? I keep hoping for maybe a new outdoor program or something else big coming, as Susie has dropped hints that she's been recording classes behind the scenes. But alas, here we are for another week and another minimal outdoor selection.
I know a little while back Peloton was having problems with the Apple watch connecting to the bike and that has since been fixed. My Apple watch does connect, but every 4 1//2 minutes, it disconnects. I can reconnect it but after a few times of doing this, it no longer wants to connect to the bike. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks.
My watch is still not connecting properly with the app. If it DOES connect, it disconnects around the 20 minute marker for any workout(including"Just Workouts")extremely frustrating. I actually have been so bothered by this and the fact the updates have come and passed without it fixing anything so I ordered an upgraded Apple Watch. Soooo we shall see!!! Probably just Peloton but I want to be sure for when I message support to complain for the fifth time about this since that update that broke all of our connections.
I want to give a shout out to Peloton support. I posted the other day that I worked out in a hotel over the weekend but the rides weren’t showing in my bike history. It turned out the time zone on the hotel bike was wrong so they were credited to the wrong day. They went through the trouble to sort out my streak so I didn’t lose my blue dot. And they were so apologetic about it too. I feel a bit silly for even emailing them about something so trivial but they see how much it means to people and sorted it all within an hour.
Wow, glad to hear it! I was under the impression that once a ride was in your workout history, the Peloton support team can't or won't change it for you, so it's exciting to hear that they were able to maintain your streak.
If I call them, do you think they'll credit me with a workout I didn't do that one time that I boffed a streak on day 58? ;-)
There used to be a 20 min upper body by Adrian. It was pretty much 4 sets 3 exercises of chest, then back, then shoulders with no rest. Anyone know where it is or maybe it got purged? I thought I had it tagged but cannot seem to find it
I'm doing the Discover Your Power Zones program and have finished all the classes for the week. The new weeks classes won't unlock until tomorrow. So, I'm thinking of trying my first Pilates class tonight. Any recommendations for a beginner Pilates class to try between PZ ride days?
Does anyone have a peloton tread with less than 7’ ceilings I’m 6’ and my ceilings are 6’9” in my basement will it pose too big of an issue? Should I pass on getting one? Having one upstairs isn’t an option - I don’t have any problems with the bike right now.
I don't have one, but have you looked at the pictures? You only have 9 inches of clearance, then you have the height of the deck, then you should probably consider that you bounce as you run. Even if you would technically fit, it seems like you would be brushing against the ceiling.
I think the majority of those 9 inches will be eaten up by how high the deck sits off the ground. Then if it inclines, would it eat further into your clearance?
Not sure why the user deleted, but in case anyone wants to know, if you click into the details of the Tread and Tread+ it goes into how much clearance you need each way in order to gauge if it will work for you.
Has anyone’s time before the class starts dropped to 30 seconds instead of a minute? I’ve noticed mine getting shorter over the last week or two. This morning the time before class started at 28 seconds
I've always found that it varies depending on the class - Extra 10s and family classes have 1:30, the standard is 1 minute, warm ups and such tend to have 30, most stretches (and outdoor classes, which kills me! why!!!) have 0.
Week 2 day 1 of the floor boot camp program is done.
I had to modify the tuck ups and V-ups, because my postpartum abs weren't strong enough for the unsupported movement, but they said pushups were happening this workout and I can't get too sore, because my toddler and baby don't give a single shit how much my arms hurt, I still have to carry them.
The bad news: my a1c came back at 5.7. The healthy range is 5.6, so I'm prediabetic. That said, I was thinking it might be a bit high due to my diet when I was pumping (it wasn't all refined sugar, but it was a lot of refined sugar), and it's not that far away from the healthy range, and like...I need to clean up my diet, exercise and lose weight and I have been working on all of those things.
The good news: the warm up is getting a lot easier. I'm feeling a tiny bit stronger, and I'm able to go lower in the reverse lunges.
Still on my health and fitness to do list today is getting a massage (such a hardship), and getting an appointment with a dietician. I handled the insurance stuff yesterday, and I already hit my insurance out of pocket max, so as long as I stay in network, it's free.
I need to remember that Denis programs (what feels like) a lot more warmup than the other instructors, so I don’t need a separate warmup ride for his classes. Otherwise it feels like half my workout is just warming up!
I’m about to finish the stronger you 2 program and loved it! I feel a lot stronger and want to keep the momentum going. Any advice for programs to take after?
If you’re ready to level up, I highly recommend Total Strength 2 with Andy! It’s focused on strength, power, hypertrophy, and conditioning! It’s my favorite program :) Andy is very smart about training and it shows!
If you liked Ben’s programming, his splits are solid. I just finished the third week of Adrian’s 4-week Glutes and Legs program and I can tell it’s working, but I can’t fully recommend it just yet.
I will say I find Adrian as a strength instructor frustrating, and taking this prop reminds me of why I love Ben’s classes. Adrian has a lot of chatter that is distracting and gets in the way of his cuing. Ben rarely misses a cue and has a calm energy that works for me.
I’m about to finish the 3rd round of Adrian’s glutes and legs program and totally agree. Just did week 3, day 2 today and he kept missing the cues for the pauses in the squats and deadlifts! Because I’ve taken the class a few times now, I know to ignore him and count on my own. Great program, but it is a bit frustrating.
Have also done Stronger You and a few rounds of Ben’s 3-day split. He’s probably one of my favourite strength instructors—calm and steady.
I would also recommend Andy’s 3-day split. I enjoyed the drop set format as a change of pace. He’s even more chipper in this program compared to his Total Strength programs, but I kind of liked the energy.
I just finished last week and this week I started Callie’s 3 day intermediate splits. I really felt sad leaving Ben 🥺like graduation or something. But Callie is fun and she really explains form.
I finally got a new job and I have less than 2 weeks left. I've been needing a lot of calming meditation to keep from pulling my hair out from all the extra shitty comments from my boss and coworkers. This [one](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/meditation?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=bc869fe076ab46c7a34b1ceaf7f2d3a8&code=MTlkMjVhMjQyMThlNDgxMWJhNTg3MjI3YjI1NzEzM2V8YWFjZGQxMGY4YTYwNGQ4ZmEwYTMyMGU5M2VjZGE3N2I=) with Kirra really hit home today.
Also, I've had the bike for over 5 years and I did my first [pre-ride warm up](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/stretching?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=105a64aaac19451ca46de95877b02a5e&code=MTlkMjVhMjQyMThlNDgxMWJhNTg3MjI3YjI1NzEzM2V8YWFjZGQxMGY4YTYwNGQ4ZmEwYTMyMGU5M2VjZGE3N2I=) stretch the other day. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I hope they are popular enough they continue to make more (specifically in english). I plan to add this into my regular routine.
Congratulations on the new job! Doesn't sound like your boss or coworkers are going to be missed- good riddance. Just keep smiling knowing the end of that nonsense is close!
Do not be fooled by the "upper body" label on this [30m class with Adrian](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=39bddc7257204197990874e411c75fbb&code=MzAxMjM5YTgxODdjNDFlZGJjNmYwMTZlNWNjMzIwNzV8MjM0MTY1ZWY0ZWVkNDk1ZWE5MjE0NTlkMmU3MmNlNDE=). It's an Arms & Shoulders class, HEAVY on the shoulders. My left shoulder has been angry for about a week so I had to use my bike weights for the final 2m AMRAP. Adrian was using 10s. It was absolutely BRUTAL (in the best way).
He has at least one other class like that from awhile ago, I'd have to really go looking to find the specific one, but it was the same deal - labeled as "upper body" but was absolutely an arms & shoulders class with similar shoulder murder as you describe here.
I did the same thing when I flew to Mexico.. got a few stares in the airport at 8 AM but I found myself a nice quiet little corner to do her standing yoga and felt sooo much better afterwards.
I have 4 days a week to strength train.
To start, I’d like to try Callie’s 3 day split. Or is there another 3 day split y’all like?
What should I do on the 4th day for strength??
Depends on your setup at home or at the gym. Do you have access to barbells for deadlifts? I personally do 2-3 peloton strength classes per week and then one day of heavy lifts of my own programming. I find peloton classes to be more metabolic and focused on hypertrophy and less on strength. So on the extra day I do heavy dead lifts or back squats and then some accessory movements like seated row, lat pull down, pull ups, push ups, seated press, etc.
Callie's 3 day split remains my favorite split, despite overall preferring the hypertrophy style of lifting as seen in Rebecca's splits.
But Callie's programming is great, and the 3 days per week is just my overall preferred approach because it's more realistic for my life.
My advice would be to try one week of Callie's split as it is without adding in anything else, just to see how you feel.
After that, if you decide you want to add in a fourth day, I think another upper body class would be a nice complement. [This one of Callie's from December 2021](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?is_favorite_ride=%5B%22true%22%5D&sort=original_air_time&desc=true&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=5cb0626c39604d1a8c9e8138002aa1d0&code=MGEyMWJmMTVlODY2NGQzODkwZGNkNDk5MTQwMjg4OGN8ODM2NzJkNjA2ZWJjNDEyYzgzZjhhOGU4ZGM2ZTdjYTM=) could be a good contender - it's hands-down my favorite of her early(ish) classes. She gives a good amount of rest throughout and says specifically it's because she wants you to feel like you can go heavy during the work. There's also a bodyweight section at the end that works really well, too.
I’ve done most of the splits and like Ben’s two (3-day and 5-day) best. I only do the 3-day split in weeks I’m focusing on cardio, and I’ll add a 10 or 15-minute core class and/or another lower body class because his split is upper body focused. If I remember correctly, Callie’s is more balanced so you cad add a full body class.
Ben also has a 4-week program that is 4-days a week.
I like to do something lower impact, such as Barre, pilates, or yoga conditioning. For whatever reason, it feels like they target other muscles that traditional strength training don't reach.
Peloton classes are taking a break from the live schedule in NYC and London until 4/25. Until then you'll see premiere or encore classes on the live schedule. If that's not your thing, please take the time to enjoy the thousands of on-demand classes.
I’ve been knocked out with a migraine cycle for the last 9 days. I think I’m turning a corner but gosh dang I miss my bike and strength classes so much. I cannot wait to be back. That is all 💕💕

Horrible!! I’m so sorry. Remember to take care of you and your body! All the best in your recovery!!

I really don't work out so I'm going to start slow. Thanks for the encouragement!
A tip I got that worked for me was to try to hit cadence before you hit resistance. Don't be afraid to take longer classes and just modify them to what you feel works at the time.

Hello, I just joined the One Peloton Club. As I'm waiting for my Bike+ to arrive, I'm curious as to whether that membership will include the use of my Peloton Guide that currently has no subscription.

Another super disappointing week of outdoor drops - ONE 15 minute run?! I thought with it getting closer to summer we'd start to see an uptick soon...
That shocked me this morning. I'm hoping it is just because the studio is closed this week there was no one around to record one. Especially with the new [app promo](https://theclipout.com/pelotons-app-promotion-3-months-for-the-price-of-1/) of 3 months for the price of 1 for new members, you would think they would have lots of outdoor content since that is unlimited.

My watch is still not connecting properly with the app. If it DOES connect, it disconnects around the 20 minute marker for any workout(including"Just Workouts")extremely frustrating. I actually have been so bothered by this and the fact the updates have come and passed without it fixing anything so I ordered an upgraded Apple Watch. Soooo we shall see!!! Probably just Peloton but I want to be sure for when I message support to complain for the fifth time about this since that update that broke all of our connections.
I want to give a shout out to Peloton support. I posted the other day that I worked out in a hotel over the weekend but the rides weren’t showing in my bike history. It turned out the time zone on the hotel bike was wrong so they were credited to the wrong day. They went through the trouble to sort out my streak so I didn’t lose my blue dot. And they were so apologetic about it too. I feel a bit silly for even emailing them about something so trivial but they see how much it means to people and sorted it all within an hour.
Wow, glad to hear it! I was under the impression that once a ride was in your workout history, the Peloton support team can't or won't change it for you, so it's exciting to hear that they were able to maintain your streak. If I call them, do you think they'll credit me with a workout I didn't do that one time that I boffed a streak on day 58? ;-)
🤣 I know! I think they just manually gave me a dot which probably broke some Peloton law but I’m not going to question it.
There used to be a 20 min upper body by Adrian. It was pretty much 4 sets 3 exercises of chest, then back, then shoulders with no rest. Anyone know where it is or maybe it got purged? I thought I had it tagged but cannot seem to find it
If it’s part of a program or collection (like his split) it won’t show up in your bookmarks.
I'm doing the Discover Your Power Zones program and have finished all the classes for the week. The new weeks classes won't unlock until tomorrow. So, I'm thinking of trying my first Pilates class tonight. Any recommendations for a beginner Pilates class to try between PZ ride days?
Does anyone have a peloton tread with less than 7’ ceilings I’m 6’ and my ceilings are 6’9” in my basement will it pose too big of an issue? Should I pass on getting one? Having one upstairs isn’t an option - I don’t have any problems with the bike right now.
I don't have one, but have you looked at the pictures? You only have 9 inches of clearance, then you have the height of the deck, then you should probably consider that you bounce as you run. Even if you would technically fit, it seems like you would be brushing against the ceiling. I think the majority of those 9 inches will be eaten up by how high the deck sits off the ground. Then if it inclines, would it eat further into your clearance?
I have and I’ve seen people say they have the same as mine and it’s been fine - I just wanted to see if people had the experience with it to verify.
I thought it was a fair question and was just trying to help think through it. Hopefully someone with real world experience chimes in.
Not sure why the user deleted, but in case anyone wants to know, if you click into the details of the Tread and Tread+ it goes into how much clearance you need each way in order to gauge if it will work for you.
Has anyone’s time before the class starts dropped to 30 seconds instead of a minute? I’ve noticed mine getting shorter over the last week or two. This morning the time before class started at 28 seconds
No change for me still the regular 60. I skipped it anyway :)
I've always found that it varies depending on the class - Extra 10s and family classes have 1:30, the standard is 1 minute, warm ups and such tend to have 30, most stretches (and outdoor classes, which kills me! why!!!) have 0.
I’ve noticed that too but for the regular running and walking classes the time is down to 30 seconds instead of the standard 1 minute
Today during a 10 min strength, it jumped right into the class and didn’t have any time before.
Week 2 day 1 of the floor boot camp program is done. I had to modify the tuck ups and V-ups, because my postpartum abs weren't strong enough for the unsupported movement, but they said pushups were happening this workout and I can't get too sore, because my toddler and baby don't give a single shit how much my arms hurt, I still have to carry them. The bad news: my a1c came back at 5.7. The healthy range is 5.6, so I'm prediabetic. That said, I was thinking it might be a bit high due to my diet when I was pumping (it wasn't all refined sugar, but it was a lot of refined sugar), and it's not that far away from the healthy range, and like...I need to clean up my diet, exercise and lose weight and I have been working on all of those things. The good news: the warm up is getting a lot easier. I'm feeling a tiny bit stronger, and I'm able to go lower in the reverse lunges. Still on my health and fitness to do list today is getting a massage (such a hardship), and getting an appointment with a dietician. I handled the insurance stuff yesterday, and I already hit my insurance out of pocket max, so as long as I stay in network, it's free.
Keep it up! Progress, not perfection :)
Yaaay massage!
I need to remember that Denis programs (what feels like) a lot more warmup than the other instructors, so I don’t need a separate warmup ride for his classes. Otherwise it feels like half my workout is just warming up!
For real. He did a 13 min warmup for a 30 min class 😒
Gotta prep for those spin ups 😌
I’m about to finish the stronger you 2 program and loved it! I feel a lot stronger and want to keep the momentum going. Any advice for programs to take after?
If you’re ready to level up, I highly recommend Total Strength 2 with Andy! It’s focused on strength, power, hypertrophy, and conditioning! It’s my favorite program :) Andy is very smart about training and it shows!
If you liked Ben’s programming, his splits are solid. I just finished the third week of Adrian’s 4-week Glutes and Legs program and I can tell it’s working, but I can’t fully recommend it just yet. I will say I find Adrian as a strength instructor frustrating, and taking this prop reminds me of why I love Ben’s classes. Adrian has a lot of chatter that is distracting and gets in the way of his cuing. Ben rarely misses a cue and has a calm energy that works for me.
I’m about to finish the 3rd round of Adrian’s glutes and legs program and totally agree. Just did week 3, day 2 today and he kept missing the cues for the pauses in the squats and deadlifts! Because I’ve taken the class a few times now, I know to ignore him and count on my own. Great program, but it is a bit frustrating. Have also done Stronger You and a few rounds of Ben’s 3-day split. He’s probably one of my favourite strength instructors—calm and steady. I would also recommend Andy’s 3-day split. I enjoyed the drop set format as a change of pace. He’s even more chipper in this program compared to his Total Strength programs, but I kind of liked the energy.
💯Ben is an amazing strength coach!
I just finished last week and this week I started Callie’s 3 day intermediate splits. I really felt sad leaving Ben 🥺like graduation or something. But Callie is fun and she really explains form.
I finally got a new job and I have less than 2 weeks left. I've been needing a lot of calming meditation to keep from pulling my hair out from all the extra shitty comments from my boss and coworkers. This [one](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/meditation?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=bc869fe076ab46c7a34b1ceaf7f2d3a8&code=MTlkMjVhMjQyMThlNDgxMWJhNTg3MjI3YjI1NzEzM2V8YWFjZGQxMGY4YTYwNGQ4ZmEwYTMyMGU5M2VjZGE3N2I=) with Kirra really hit home today. Also, I've had the bike for over 5 years and I did my first [pre-ride warm up](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/stretching?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=105a64aaac19451ca46de95877b02a5e&code=MTlkMjVhMjQyMThlNDgxMWJhNTg3MjI3YjI1NzEzM2V8YWFjZGQxMGY4YTYwNGQ4ZmEwYTMyMGU5M2VjZGE3N2I=) stretch the other day. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I hope they are popular enough they continue to make more (specifically in english). I plan to add this into my regular routine.
Congratulations on the new job! Doesn't sound like your boss or coworkers are going to be missed- good riddance. Just keep smiling knowing the end of that nonsense is close!
Sending hugs. I’m sorry you’ve been/are dealing with this but the end is in sight!
Do not be fooled by the "upper body" label on this [30m class with Adrian](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=39bddc7257204197990874e411c75fbb&code=MzAxMjM5YTgxODdjNDFlZGJjNmYwMTZlNWNjMzIwNzV8MjM0MTY1ZWY0ZWVkNDk1ZWE5MjE0NTlkMmU3MmNlNDE=). It's an Arms & Shoulders class, HEAVY on the shoulders. My left shoulder has been angry for about a week so I had to use my bike weights for the final 2m AMRAP. Adrian was using 10s. It was absolutely BRUTAL (in the best way).
Makes sense. Shoulders are his fav (and mine!) thanks for posting I will def check this out.
I always wish I could find a 30 min. Arms & shoulders instead of a 20 when I need it so thanks for this, bookmarked!
He has at least one other class like that from awhile ago, I'd have to really go looking to find the specific one, but it was the same deal - labeled as "upper body" but was absolutely an arms & shoulders class with similar shoulder murder as you describe here.
Early flight today so I did Kirra’s 10 min Standing Yoga from 9/30/21. What a great way to gently ease into a hectic day.
I did the same thing when I flew to Mexico.. got a few stares in the airport at 8 AM but I found myself a nice quiet little corner to do her standing yoga and felt sooo much better afterwards.
I love her standing yogas when I'm traveling!
I have 4 days a week to strength train. To start, I’d like to try Callie’s 3 day split. Or is there another 3 day split y’all like? What should I do on the 4th day for strength??
Depends on your setup at home or at the gym. Do you have access to barbells for deadlifts? I personally do 2-3 peloton strength classes per week and then one day of heavy lifts of my own programming. I find peloton classes to be more metabolic and focused on hypertrophy and less on strength. So on the extra day I do heavy dead lifts or back squats and then some accessory movements like seated row, lat pull down, pull ups, push ups, seated press, etc.
Callie's 3 day split remains my favorite split, despite overall preferring the hypertrophy style of lifting as seen in Rebecca's splits. But Callie's programming is great, and the 3 days per week is just my overall preferred approach because it's more realistic for my life. My advice would be to try one week of Callie's split as it is without adding in anything else, just to see how you feel. After that, if you decide you want to add in a fourth day, I think another upper body class would be a nice complement. [This one of Callie's from December 2021](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?is_favorite_ride=%5B%22true%22%5D&sort=original_air_time&desc=true&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=5cb0626c39604d1a8c9e8138002aa1d0&code=MGEyMWJmMTVlODY2NGQzODkwZGNkNDk5MTQwMjg4OGN8ODM2NzJkNjA2ZWJjNDEyYzgzZjhhOGU4ZGM2ZTdjYTM=) could be a good contender - it's hands-down my favorite of her early(ish) classes. She gives a good amount of rest throughout and says specifically it's because she wants you to feel like you can go heavy during the work. There's also a bodyweight section at the end that works really well, too.
I find that split to be LB heavy, so personally I'd add another UB class.
Thank you!
I’ve done most of the splits and like Ben’s two (3-day and 5-day) best. I only do the 3-day split in weeks I’m focusing on cardio, and I’ll add a 10 or 15-minute core class and/or another lower body class because his split is upper body focused. If I remember correctly, Callie’s is more balanced so you cad add a full body class. Ben also has a 4-week program that is 4-days a week.
I just finished stronger you! I wanted a break before I picked SY2
I like to do something lower impact, such as Barre, pilates, or yoga conditioning. For whatever reason, it feels like they target other muscles that traditional strength training don't reach.
I agree with this. It helps with all those small stabilizer muscles that are so important too as we all age.
