posted by iclfan2Got delivered today, 20 minute beginner ride kicked my ass, literally. Do you ever get used to the seat? Any recommended trainers?
What model? Are you an experienced rider? I'm not at all, but am interested in learning more about Peleton.

I just got the entry level one. Didn’t need the moveable screen or the added cost. I’ve never ridden an exercise bike and rarely ride one outside. We’ll see how it goes but the first ride wasn’t bad. I’m trying to make it as convenient as possible for me to exercise so that I actually consistently do something.

Does it come with a mat? Do you have it in the basement?

It doesn’t come with anything, but if you use a code from someone that has a bike, you get $100 off accessories that can be used for a mat or shoes or a kit that has both. You also need special shoes. We don’t have basements here, and have 2 girls taking up our other rooms (and playroom/ office) so it is in our master bedroom currently. It has a 30 day guarantee so you can’t really go wrong.
We did buy a heart rate monitor (skosche rythym) which connects to it on screen and will probably order a mat to catch sweat instead of the carpet.
Edit again, it possibly takes awhile right now so you can always order and then back out. Ours first said May 7th delivery when I ordered in Feb, but I spoke on chat with them 2 separate times to get it moved up more each time.
Thanks for the info. Post about how it's going from time to time.
I'm starting back on weights next week. I had a busy month in the fall and opted to take a month off to recharge. Then at the end of that month found my cancer and entered a month of stress and doctors' appointments. Then had surgery and had to take 4 weeks off for recovery, and have been skiing three days a week since late January without much time for anything else. I've lost 20 pounds of mass during that time.
I'm looking forward to the soreness that comes with the first few weeks of getting back into the routine. I'll have to go slower than usual because my incision location puts me at high risk for hernia... will likely insert much more focused abdominal work off the bat than I ever have before.

Hope you’re doing well
^ Appreciate it! Got my 3-month scans back clean two weeks ago. Still about a 16% chance of recurrence but it’s dropping every day.
I'd be interested in your opinions on static stretching.
I've been doing it at the end of workouts (about half the time) for most of my life. I do it because I learned to do it while playing football and wrestling in high school. Recently, I've decided that it has done nothing to benefit me at all. I'm not particularly flexible and stretching has never made a bit of difference with that. I doubt it's prevented any injuries either. A couple of months ago while doing it, I thought "Why the hell am I doing this all the time. It is stupid." So I quit doing it altogether. Now, a few months later, I feel absolutely no different. I'm beginning to think static stretching (not to be confused with dynamic warm ups) is a complete and total waste of time. I'm sure my JV football coach (God rest his soul) would have me run wind sprints for saying this.
So what are your opinion?

I agree with you. I believe that proper warm upa and cool downs are important parts of working out, but I think that many of us stretch simply because we did it in our younger days.
Do mostly dynamic except hamstring rope pulls

Rarely do it unless my back starts to feel tight or a little sore. Then I'll just do some standing hamstring stretches (bend over and touch toes - may get crazy sometimes and cross legs to help out IT Band).
If my hips are feeling tight sometimes I will sit on a chair and cross one leg over and rest ankle on my knee and try to get chest to leg. That is a good one.
Otherwise, no static stretching. Mainly a quick dynamic warmup, some lacrosse ball work, and foam roll. I am 30. I hate stretching/warming up too lol.

I never warmed up until I hit about 45. Now I do it religiously.
posted by dorothyam48I don’t recommend any kind of medicine to reduce your weight or to keep your body in shape. Instead of using any kind of medicine, you should make a schedule for yourself. You should talk to a nutritionist in this regard. For more tips visit this site ptcl speed test. Follow the diet plan and keep doing exercise. Daily walk and some work out will be really helpful. Medicines have side effects and everything will become really complicated for you if you start taking medicines.
thanx man

Is this Ellen White, John Kellog click bait?
I don't know. Cocaine helped me stay fit and trim. I also felt that heroin helped me take the focus off of food.
posted by justincredibleI stepped on the scale the other morning and did not like what I saw. I need to get my diet back in order ASAP. If anyone has any recommendations for easy to fix, healthy lunches that don't suck I'd love to hear them.
Bummer
Got a punching bag a couple weeks ago. Talk about a humbling and intense workout.

Very weird. When I click on page 18 I get "server error" so I have to post at the bottom of page 17.
Just bought a cable crossover type attachment called PulleyPro that will add a little variety in the form of crossovers, side/rear delt work and cable overhead extensions.
