Doctor says I need to lose weight, thinking about a Peloton, anyone?

[Anonymous]

I like the concept of this as I am not one to go to SC or gyms for that matter, need to lose about 25 lbs and the only thing I do now is play tennis but he suggest 3x a week.
If someone has this and has invested in it can you please share your experience and overall option? Worth the money? Did it surpass your expectations?

Change in diet, not exercise, will help you lose weight.

I am also interested in Peloton but I really love spinning. Do you like spin? Have you tried it? It's a big investment if you discover you hate spinning.

Change your diet. Weight loss is 80% diet.

Duh! I know this, it is both exercise and diet but based upon my diet (which he deemed fine) MY DOCTOR who I think knows best suggest exercise over diet modification. I trust this man who has been at this for 40+ years thank you very much.

You aren't very smart.

If he's been at this 40+ years he's probably out of date on what works. I mean this kindly OP - do your own research on the newer studies. Diet changes will go a lot farther in helping you, endless cardio will not do it.

"exercise over diet modification"?

I wish this was effective. I would gladly run/workout 2 hours a day if it meant I could eat and drink whatever I wanted.

+1. I do Orangetheory 3-4x/week and [solidcore] 2x/week. If the scale moves, it moves up not down.

if you think that would help, then go to 24 hour fitness and do the Spinning/RPM classes.

You will not be on your own. These classes are so much better than doing it on your own. Cost should be like $35 to $40 per month plus once a year fee of $40. do not pay anymore than that. Initiation fee is waived if you do automatic deductions.

But at least try out the classes for a few days BEFORE buying a peloton.

Lifting weights is way better than cardio.
