For all of my former emo peeps who use Peloton, Kendall did a 30 minute 2000s emo ride today and oh my god, it was the best playlist I've ever had for a spinning class. Every song was gold, I was so amped that I PRed.

 

Gonna do this tomorrow!

She had a great one back in I think January with panic, new found glory, etc

 

I am going to look for that tomorrow! It makes such a huge difference to me if I like the music. Kendall is not my favorite instructor but so worth it for the songs!

 

It's this one. And I agree..she's fine overall but cody or Leanne seem more fun for me.

 

Thank you, I’m favoriting that now. Cody, Alex, and Tunde are my people. Alex’s club bangers are such a good vibe. Never tried Leanne’s!

 

I PRed in this one as well haha

 

I’m team Emma. She’s my favorite.

 

Before you all workout do you have to take a poop or is that just me

 

Its my ritual any day I do squats and/or deads, especially on heavy days haha

 

I agree with that, but the ones in that article are low(er) cost models from known brands/companies. More important than price is proper fit and style - running (especially any significant distance) in actual running shoes, not shoes designed for other sports/cross training; having the right size and width; using a stability shoe if you need one (and, conversely, not using a stability shoe if you don't need one).

 

Speaking of shoes, I might get these as my next pair. Made with recycled materials and neutral colors to use less water, ink, and dye:

Got up early today so I went to the gym right as it opened and I'm not sure it was the best decision oop. I was still v tired so I wasn't as motivated to go very hard and didn't get as much out of my time there. But oh well I got to see the early morning crowd and I don't think it hurt to go. Just felt blah

 

always

 

Not always, but when I do I usually have better workouts.

For me it's usually about 90 minutes after I'm done working out.

 

I just did a 60 min peloton class and I’m dead.

 

before and during yeah

 

I'm so glad we don't typically follow BMI standards anymore. Mine has me one point below obese and I'm just like . When I was younger that would've devastated me and sent me down a huge spiral.

 

Feeling very fortunate to know someone with a garage gym setup. This whole past year as been a drag but staying active has definitely helped my mental health so much. Being forced to stay at home and cook for myself, and not drink as much also help a lot.

 

took this yesterday and PR’d. Thanks for the rec!

 

Another Kendall pop punk ride this past Monday

 

Hate when everyone at the gym seems to be working on the same muscle group. Like I'll have it in my head that I'm doing arm day today but then like EVERYONE is going arm day and those machines and weights are being used by a bunch of people

 

Going to try to stick to a schedule with the Peloton. Going to try

Sunday - Off
Monday - 20/30 min ride (attempt for personal best)
Tuesday - 20/30 min ride
Wednesday 20/30 min ride
Thursday - 20/30 min ride
Friday - Off
Saturday - 60 min ride

I did a 60 min ride this past saturday (only my second one) and felt great afterwards. By minute 35 or so I was reenergized and felt like I could go another 60 at the end of it.

And trying for a personal best every Monday just for something to work towards / have a goal. I PRd a 20 minute today. Figure if I try once a week I'll actually push harder to get better. The last few weeks I've just done rides but haven't pushed myself.

 

I need to be better about taking days off of the peloton. I feel antsy if I dont do something on days I plan to take off.

 

If you run outside, it's a fool's errand to not park your buns on some porcelain before hitting the road.

I live in Chicago and pre-pandemic it was easy (but far from preferred) to have to find a grocery store or bar when nature called. Now - it's way tougher.
