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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
