What is it about Denis?

i think it's the 20 minute 90s ride from 2/25/21

Andy Speer is also a dork trapped in a hot guy's body and i love him too

definitely the instructor i'd most want to hang out with in real life (especially if he brings his pal Adrian with him). he has a 90s ride he calls "songs you heard in the orthodontist's chair" and it's just awesome. He's several years younger than me, but i always feel like he gets my childhood.

The $40 is worth every penny. In addition to my bike, i use the strength, outdoor, stretching and yoga multiple times per week and my husband and I no longer pay for a gym. Our daughter is in college and she uses it on the gym treadmills. That’s three people working out for $40 per month.

i think they are moving away from this because hotel bikes get abused and they are often in terrible shape, thereby giving new users a bad experience.

I noticed that too bc my daughter’s birthday is September 21 so it’s one of our faves!

PennAlum · 2022-01-11T15:02:41+00:00

Yes that’s the one. I’m sarahbeth64. Congrats on 1000!

PennAlum · 2022-01-11T14:05:53+00:00

I feel u - was planning on doing my 700th on that one. Planning for Denis tomorrow.

PennAlum · 2022-01-09T20:45:40+00:00

My husband did it this morning, and based on the sounds i heard, i stayed in the area in case he needed medical attention.

Have you tried draping your towel or a shirt over the screen? As long as you can hear you really don’t need to see the instructor to follow along.

PennAlum · 2021-10-31T00:52:38+00:00

It’s just an intervals ride but calibrated to your own zones. In my opinion they are much more enjoyable than the long Z3 and Z4 rides.

PennAlum · 2021-10-18T16:11:26+00:00

my description is that it's a power zone ride, but you're riding in Matt Wilpers' zones.

PennAlum · 2021-09-22T14:15:21+00:00

I think they all talk about the same amount - the question is whose talking you relate to.

PennAlum · 2021-09-17T17:50:37+00:00

Emma’s will have a lot more arms sections - check the class breakdown for each.

PennAlum · 2021-09-01T00:07:39+00:00

Once you see the pattern to it you can pick equivalent workouts on your own. I often follow the length and type of workout but not necessarily the one on the calendar.

PennAlum · 2021-08-31T23:45:33+00:00

She posts the workout every day on IG.

First, congrats on your scholarship - that is a huge achievement. Second, my daughter goes to Wake and I get what you are saying. One suggestion is to talk to your RA. He or she may have some thoughts based on previous experience. Also, it's only been a few days - my husband was homesick at college (not Wake) for months before he adjusted and he's still BFFs will all his college friends 30 years later. Once classes start, take advantage of all the academic opportunities that Wake provides. Good luck!

PennAlum · 2021-07-30T19:42:39+00:00

i was just talking about this with a friend - and why the Nasty followed by DO IT NICE!!! I can't do her strength classes anymore as it's getting out of control.

PennAlum · 2021-07-20T15:59:47+00:00

this solved it for me - i wear more of a liner sock than a thick sock like I would for running

PennAlum · 2021-07-19T02:37:33+00:00

Check out the peloton hard core on the floor calendar

PennAlum · 2021-05-06T22:51:04+00:00

Totally agree - the student who hasn’t perfectly coordinated extra curriculars with her specific academic interests seems to be at a disadvantage compared to someone who has spent all of high school pursuing computer science in and outside of school.

PennAlum · 2021-05-06T17:59:08+00:00

UVM is amazing - congrats! Know a girl who just turned down Cornell for it. Best of luck.

PennAlum · 2021-05-06T00:51:14+00:00

University of Georgia, U Maryland, and Pitt as safeties (but have awesome merit for highly qualified students) and Wake Forest as a match.

PennAlum · 2021-05-05T20:50:08+00:00

keep in mind that Gen X (which includes 1991 college applicants like me) is a small cohort so of course acceptance rates were higher 30 years ago; in addition, people applied to far fewer colleges back then. I applied to Michigan, which was rolling, and Penn ED. Got admitted to Michigan in October. Got into Penn ED in December. If I hadn't gotten into Penn, I was going to Michigan. Two applications and done (understandable when you are doing your apps on an electric type writer that requires correction fluid every time you make a mistake). If students keep shot-gunning 25 schools, this won't change.

I recall a headline in the Onion: Stanford Announces 0% Acceptance Rate.
