[quote=Anonymous]A few things:

Peloton comfort depends on proper set up (lots of videos for this) ; get a padded/gel seat cover or padded bike shorts (and you definitely get used to it). I also have short arms compared to legs and bought a rubber handlebar extender which helps my form.

Don’t cycle daily: walking is very good as well.

I have the peloton app on my tv and am doing the strength classes on it. Very easy to filter by beginner ; class length and body area. Like op I am in not good shape (injury, surgery: immobility; then life stress). I lost a ton of muscle and am carefully and slowly trying to get back into a program . 30-45 min bike class (but sometimes even 20) plus a 10–20 min strength 3x/week and a lot of walking . I don’t need to lose weight but I need the rest for health and strength. I have done some yoga and barre classes in the app as well.

Finally 90% of weight loss is going to come from nutrition not exercise but the latter has great benefits no matter what. [/quote]
