[quote=Anonymous]So peloton is different than the type of exercise bike you are describing. The peloton has classes and isn’t like a low impact cardio machine where you watch tv. Or at least the sticker tag on the peloton is not worth it for that. That said if I were you I would start with a trainer. A trainer I think is a really good place to start because they will work with you to find your strengths and they will teach you the right ways to do exercises. I think at home machines require some real iron clad will in the beginning to make useful, so if you do go that route try to make a plan every Saturday about the following week. Schedule your workouts and go to them like you would a doctors appointment or something, consider them non negotiable, part of the day and not something you do when there is time. I think you really only have to be so rigid for the first three months or so but you have to create and sustain a real habit and your body will start wanting it and then it will be easier. But really a trainer is a great place to start because you will get a strong foundation in overall fitness and tons of information and exposure to different machines and exercises to help you decide what the next step will be when your time with the trainer ends. And I say all this as a totally crazy peloton cult member myself who did self start last year. But honestly I think if it hadn’t been for the election I wouldn’t have been able to have done it. I was so stressed out I was having trouble like functioning and the peloton gave me an outlet and I had motivation to get on it every day for a couple months almost just to get my jitters out! I rode for like something crazy like 9 hours at my maximum intensity m, on the floor dripping every day, the week leading up to the election. Which I only bring up to say that that beginning and creating of the habit intensely is crucial and how you ensure it doesn’t turn into a coat hanger. [/quote]
