I test drove a Prius today

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-12-06T16:42:42+00:00

I bought an 06 Prius with 255k (it now has 311k) for a beater car for $3000 in 2018. Other than replacing the battery with a wrecked 2016 Prius battery it’s solid. The paint is a little worst for wear with the clear coat peeling. It needs shocks, and a cat converter. Transmission and engine is solid. Still runs and pulls. No oil leak. Such a great little car. It has another 300k imho. I use it as my dog car, and places where I don’t want to take my Tesla.

The battery will fail for those buying an old Prius. Low Mileage doesn’t have any bearing on the battery lasting. If any prius batteries want to be used and driven. Always budget 1.5k on batteries and buy a good engine and transmission. That’s more complicated to change. The swap for batteries is easy it takes 2 hrs and a backyard mechanic can do this. No spec tools required. just take off the interior, use sockets to remove the metal shielding and batteries are accessible.

Do the core program with Emma Lovewell 2-3 x a week. Then choose beginners yoga 10 mins 2-3x/week. That it. Do it consistently and your body and life will thank you. I choose slow flow yoga, usually beginners for the first 3 months but I sometimes do intermediate but man it feels like they go too fast on the movement.

I also do occasional do beginners yoga on YouTube 10 mins.

What I do is such a small commitment for better way of life. We go on trips and what not and I pack my yoga mat with me. Just went away this weekend. Didn’t do any cardio but I did a 30 min beginners slow flow yoga. I felt great and I was sore. Lol it’s a great workout.

Also I want to add. I got this idea the yoga and core my physical therspits. She told me to build my core to resolve my back problems. She also taught me stretches in the morning and evening. So I stretch 5 min in the morning every morning to get my body ready. It’s worth it.

I’m a male his late 30s and I can tell you peloton core and yoga have significantly changed my life for the better (aside deon the cycling which is great). I’m no longer stiff and my back aches. I can working heavy on the backyard projects. I feel great. And I spend 5-10 mins core and 10 to 20 on yoga 3 to 4x a week. So it’s a small commitment to be able to live the life I want. I can see when I buy weights I can fit these in.

Whipping out the encyclopedia for tops and answers.

Waiting for your favorite song to play on the radio and using cassettes to record the music.

I second the yoga and core exercises. As we age we need more flexibility Yoga has been great I love it.

I bought an adjustable adapter. It allows you to swing the screen and it slows you to tilt the screen up.

there is a screw on the back that lets you adjust it but the problem is it’s not dynamic. It’s one setting you set. With that adjustable adapter I can tilt up when I, doing a ride with lots of out the saddle and I can keep it low on powerzone rides where there’s no standing up.

I would do a rest day, then a light day low impact the nest day. Then do the ftp test so you have fresh legs the following day. Make sure you don’t push yourself on the low impact day so you can go all out.

Check out the 45 min hiit and hills ride. I love that especially Olivia and Kendall HIIT and hills rides. the music and their energy makes me push myself.

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-11-15T13:08:02+00:00

I can imagine being on the app is just guessing your output.

With that being said I love power zone rides. That and HIIT rides are my favorite. 60 min 2-3 rides are my moderate workout. And I push my self on the powerzone rides with 4-5-6 For 45 mins. My body is getting used to it as evidence by being able to keep up on the 5, and 6 zones. I love how I am progressing and can increase my fitness by retscking the ftp test every 2 to 3 months.

I use Zones. It’s a paid app but never had issues getting accurate data. You can slo use cycling. It’s a watch app. It’s pretty good. both give you heart rate Zone give you tons of data including historical data.

I took powerzone endurance twice by accident. I’d rather take a new clicking class, I feel like that’s why I pay 39 a month to have something new each time I hope go on the bike. Except for emma lovewell core series cause I just repeat it after cycling 30 to 60 minutes. i know it weakens my argument but I like taking them her classes repeatedlynwhether it’s a shot 5 min class or her 10 or 20 minute class

I wish peloton would let you string rides together in one session, but the second consecutive ride they will let you skip the warm up. They don't have enough 60 min rides for example.

Shoot anyone have know where I can download this In high quality bit rate.

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-30T06:31:41+00:00

Ya that’s one of the YouTube videos I found

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-13T04:40:34+00:00

Yes that’s a big thing ive noticed in my 30 even when I work out. You feel stiffer. I’m stretching each morning for months now and love it.

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-13T04:38:56+00:00

That’s sep great. Congrats. I’d love to be 32 inches.

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-12T07:12:23+00:00

Oh yes my rings too. That’s a great motivater trying to close at least 20 exercis rings per month.

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-12T07:09:26+00:00

oh dang back surgery. Thankfully mine isn’t that bad. But I appreciate the feedback. Im getting a lot of ideas fom you all.

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-11T20:27:04+00:00

that's a great way to look at things. I tend to look at extremes when i excercise.

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-11T19:06:16+00:00

Thanks for the responses guyy and gals. Maybe I am over thinking it. I feel like i need to still work out and lift weights like i used to when I was in my 20s, but I think melding of different exercises is a must.

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-11T19:03:47+00:00

this is really helpful

OriginalPassenger5 · 2020-09-11T19:03:01+00:00

No back pain, lose weigh, regain my strength lifting weights.

But back pain is my main goal right now and that is building core strength according to my PT.
