I'm considering buying a Peleton exercise Bike and just wondered if anyone has one. If so, how do you like it? Do you think its worth the cost? Thanks!

I bought one, and just got it. I had a total knee 8 weeks ago, so my leg muscles are pretty atrophied. So.....I’m finding it more than a little challenging to even get started!! Glad to hear you like yours. Words of wisdom?

I just a 20 minutes ride-sort of. I’m still trying to adjust the bike for comfort and fit. But that seat is hideous! I can’t stay seated for more than a minute or two. Even still, I’m prepared to love the bike someday!! [emoji23][emoji23]

Start with 20 minute beginner classes. Focus on RPM and less on resistance. Hope this helps. Peloton is great and i have done Soul and Flywheel




Do you still do soul cycle? I love SC and afraid if I get the peloton I’ll be bored. Thoughts?

Just thought I’d circle back. I have to say I’m still loving that bike! I had regained some weight, and it is helping me get control of my health again. I’ve ridden steadily 4-5x weekly for 13 weeks, and I have lost 10 pounds (mostly diet) and have toned up. But the biggest bonus for me is the way that intense exercise helps manage stress, as well as the improvement in my strength and endurance.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
