[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAME OP. I'm about a year into the peloton and this month in particular I've just let go of some of my metrics, which has been hard for me! But yeah, you're right, I'm still working out and feeling good! And it totally still counts. I feel like getting to this point of like, 'every workout doesn't need to be an all out leave me on the floor huffing and puffing effort' is actually a sign of it being a PERMANENT change in my life.

I can't peak forever! But I want to keep exercising forever! I have been confused about people who target zone 3/4 for their primary HR zones while working out because when I'm going, I'm in zone 5 a LOT and mostly in high 4. But lately I've been realizing, but hey, you know what is sustainable as heck? A lot of zone 3 workouts! Now that I've lost a lot of weight and am trying to envision what this all looks like long term I'm cool with the 'moderate workout'. I think its a sign of success!

And LOL at the pp saying its not a good workout, ok, sure. [/quote]

[b]I guess its a good workout for the average person. But at the more advanced levels of fitness, bike alone is not a workout. It's decent cardio but doesn't burn that many calories. And not a full body workout. It's basically a warm up[/b].[/quote]

Such an annoying, unhelpful comment! Lots of "real" athletes at "advanced levels of fitness" use peloton (Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, for example). It is an excellent cardio machine and platform, and so if you're trying to get a good cardio workout, you can get a good workout on a Peloton. Obviously, if you're trying to gain huge biceps or have some other non-cardio based goal (or non-cycling based goal), it won't help with that. [/quote]
