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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
