Wife says Robin is pretty good.

Wife does a lot of the treadmill and weight workouts as well and really likes Jess Simms.

I have a new Peloton mistress. Kendall Toole does primarily both rock and metal rides...the leather and spandex she squeezes herself into likely thanks her after she's done with it.

Look, I get that part of the appeal of having 'hot' women do the classes is so that schmoes like me will stare at her ass for the 45 minutes we're riding...but good Christ is she hot. And ROCKS to the metal!

Kendall is a beast. #SigForum?

Did my first Peloton ride yesterday (was delivered 12/1).

What's you guys' Peloton handles? SigForum ride group?

Glad you are enjoying your Peloton.

I may have to look into their APP and see if it will control my smart trainer for riding my bike in the house.

Just did a 45 Minute personal best in Kendall’s all-Metallica ride!

Her attractiveness aside, she really wails on that bike and the final 5 minutes of this ride I wanted to rest, but watching her just kill herself to put out (don’t get cute with that) kept me in the saddle and driving til the cool down. Absolutely turning into one of my favorite instructors. #sigforum on Peloton. (I’m currently the only one!)

I imagine it'll take me a bit to get up to 45 min. Did 15 yesterday & felt good. Doing the pre-recorded classes for now & getting familiar & comfortable on the bike.

Good for you!!!

When I do the longer, and especially hard classes, I am often about 10 numbers behind the instructor on desired resistance and sometimes pedal speed.

I’m okay with that, my heart rate is where I want it and I dig the playlists. My personal goal is to eventually keep up with the instructors low numbers.

Currently I’m most comfortable taking “7 to 8” difficulty classes, I know I have no chance at keep up with a 9 or 10, but they keep me motivated and push me.

I can’t wait to get mine! Should deliver on December 10th!

My Peloton scheduled delivery is Dec 24. My daughter has one and loves it.

Are any of you measuring your calorie burn? What are you seeing?

I did a 10 & 5 min easy ride yesterday & was pretty easily sitting at the top of cadent & resistance numbers.
On my road bike, I always preferred a higher cadence, usually in the 90-100 range (as long as I wasn't bouncing in the saddle).

Will have to try a slightly tougher class next time.

Just added it to my profile. I’m brand new and only using the app with our Bowflex C6, but will see what it offers.

Just got my Bike+ in today! I haven’t taken it for a spin yet but I did make sure to join the #SigForum tag. V_Ride. Only negative which is fairly minor is I wish the handlebars/screen would lock up tighter and not wiggle. Other than that it looks great! I guess I’ll start off with some beginner classes and work my way up. Or I might just say screw it and start joining Ronin and his mistress.

Joined the #sigforum group.

No wiggle on my bars/screen. Something to do with the screen pivot function maybe?

That was my one real complaint. SPD clips, the two holers, are probably the most popular out there. You go to a spin class you got spd clips and cages. I had to buy their shoes (actually my wife did, mine came free) to go to the 3 hole system which I still don’t know what that’s called. As a plus though, I regularly tighten my spd clips. They loosen a bunch, maybe I’m doing it wrong. These new ones I keep checking but they are tight still. Spin shoes basically
last forever too so one time cost realistically.

Use blue lock-tite
I had that issue with spd cleats too.

No it wiggles a bit at where the bars connect to the frame. Saw another reviewer online saying the same. Not a big deal but just surprised me considering how expensive these things are. I even tried dropping it down all the way and tightening it and it still rocks side to side a bit.

Just completed the 20 minute beginner ride! Felt good! Got a ways to go to work back up to where I was when I was spinning regularly at the gym haha.

Will have to look at ours when I get home.
The adjustment for me is going from a road bike, to spin. No coasting.

Having the screen/instructor/scenery is better than stationary cycling on a trainer.

Edit:
Ours is rock solid on the screen/bars. No wobble or anything.
Currently set to height f, as I like a bit more of a road bike position, so far.

Just did my first class today. I was given a spin bike and hooked a cadence sensor up to it. The only thing I can’t gauge is the resistance. It’s still fun though. The bike shreds my quads.

I'm about 83 classes in now. Consistently going for classes in the 7-9 difficulty range & still setting the occasional PR.

If I can manage a ride today, it'll be my first 10 day streak. Kendall is probably still my top instructor. Her music choices & driving personality make it easier to keep at it when it's really tough.

Emma Lovewell is another I'll take, as her music tends to be in line with my preferences.

Denis Morton is one I've recently taken a few with.

My wife likes Cody Rigsby, can't get into that one.
Same with Sam Yo, too mellow & not motivating.

For an easier ride, I'll jump on a Christine D'ercole or Jenn Sherman ride. Though I did hit a 20 min PR on a Low Impact ride earlier this week.

Climb rides have been my go-to for a while. I like the heavier effort. Need to retake a few Kendall Metal rides & see how I do compared to before.

Did my first Tabata yesterday. 20 sec on 10 sec off, for 4 minutes, with 2 minute break between. 3 sets. Definitely tough, but managed to keep it in the mid-range on resistance.

I personally think that all peleton bike are the same to be honest.

For the most part, the 2 options are very similar.

The Bike+ gets a bigger screen with front facing speakers & has the swivel/rotate screen.
It also has auto-follow resistance. Not sure how that works, as we just have the standard Bike model.

Other than those 3 differences, I believe they are the same.
