How often do you Peloton?

[Anonymous]

3x week average, usually 45 min but sometimes 30, sometimes 60.

Haven't tried much else yet. I do weights in my own 2x/ sk.

I’ve had hip issues and now a foot issue from running. I hope the bike is better for my body than running.

I have knee issues from running. Have had the bike almost 2 years and I ride 5-7 days a week (like others I stack rides, usually an hour total), and it has been better. The only time I get pains is if I don't remember to adjust the seat distance after my husband or son have used it. (The height I always get but occasionally one of them slides the seat back a little and I miss it.) Anyway, if it is all adjusted properly, no problems.

4-5x per week, 30 min rides, and then I do barre 2ish days as well (from YouTube)

I try to get on the bike daily for anything from 15-45 mins, depending on how i'm feeling - usually I'm in the 20-30 camp. I just joined a PZP team and challenge, so now that will up the length of my rides. Because of the PZP Challenge, I'm now stretching afterwards. I will occasionally use the app for a run or walk.

Has anyone developed shin splints from the bike? I'm feeling that familiar twinge from when I used to run a lot (a looooong time ago). I assume it has to do with something about my form. Anyhoo...not to hijack the thread.

Three times a week, 30-minute workouts. I have back issues and find that even a low-impact activity like a spin bike workout can aggravate my back if I do it every day.

I also walk at least a couple of miles several days a week.

I do some type of Peloton workout on average 5x a week. I either do a ride, a bike boot camp, tread bootcamp using an old treadmill through the app, a strength workout, or an outdoor run. I would get bored if I only did the rides, so the wide variety of classes that they offer really works for me.

I ride 5-6 times a week. I normally do a 30 minute class but sometimes do a 45 or two 20 minute classes. I do a stretch class after every ride. I also try to do 1-2 strength classes a week. That could add up to around 15 individual classes a week.

On a slightly unrelated note I don't think warm up and cool down rises should count toward your ride total. Or maybe they should be their own category. The people I know who have taken 1000s of rides often take a lot of those rides which I feel like unfairly pads your numbers.

There's usually some form of argument about this on the Peloton facebook page. I can't understand why it matters! What is unfair about it? Unfair to whom? There's no actual competition - why does it matter if someone else has 1000s of rides? If YOU feel like the 5 minute cool down/warm up rides shouldn't count towards YOUR total, then YOU delete them.

I took a so called cool down ride with Alex after an endurance ride. I put in just the same amount of effort in the CD ride to keep up with his minimums. I wasn’t too happy at the time. My point being, the cold down rides can be just as demanding as the normal rides.

I've learned to stretch vigorously when I'm getting used to higher levels of resistance. It helps.

I agree that this doesn't matter much, what gets my goat is how the cool down rides impact my average output numbers. I think metrics in those rides should be able to be turned down. Sometimes I am weirdly compelled to KEEP PUSHING in a cool down ride because of the leaderboard but that is counter productive! I try to hide it but the fact that I know that its there gets in my head.

My average output would be over 200 if not for those rides! I could delete them but I like to keep them in for total burned calories as I will frequently use the cool downs to push me over the next 100 mark in calorie burning.

Yes. See: Ivanka Trump and "architecting".

To answer OP's question, I ride 6 days a week. Three 45s, one 60, and two 30s. I always do a cool down ride and stretch before and after I ride. Generally do arms 3x/week, core 6x/week, glutes & legs 5x/week. Yes, it's a lot, but I'm lucky to have the time and it's been keeping me sane these last few months.
