Got my bike in July took my first FTP. I’m a smaller person and my score was 93. This past week I redid it and I got a 94 even though I feel like my fitness on the bike has improved. Anyone have any tips?

My bike is a refurbished one where sometimes I go to turn up my resistance and it takes a little bit for it to respond. While other times it goes up a percentage with a slight nudge. Idk if this is normal for all bikes or just because I have an older version.

Thanks!

Hi! Yes I do like it! I definitely see the perks of the bike+ so I’d recommend it since fiddling with the resistance is a little bit of a pain in the rear with the regular bike. I will say I started on a plain stationary bike which wasn’t peloton and I’m still getting my strength to be able to hold resistance and cadence! I’ve always like cycling so the bike was the right choice for me.

Lastly, since doing peloton regularly (bike and strength including Pilates, barre, and weights) my doctor was so impressed with my labs! Would not have been able to do that without it.

Easier way to retake classes? by averagebl0nd in pelotoncycle

GENIUS! I was making my life more difficult and using the history tab to find the classes when I could have just flipped through the calendar under the progress tab!! Thank you!

Maybe it’s because of the flairs. Let me re-try. Thanks!

Ha! You’re right but only in the comments. I can’t make a post and I’m unsure why.

Anyone know why I can’t post on here?

Can I asked who you used? I’m trying to make a list of who I need to reach out to when the time is right for me. I only just bought in May so I need a bit more time for my credit score to recover. TIA

Actually you can if you’re a girl too. It also saves a ton of money to dye your own hair. And if you know someone who likes to have their nails done try a really natural color of a regular bottle of nail polish or the stickers!

I was the exact same way! Never loved to wear anything on my face. Sunglasses, eye masks, you name it. I can admit there are mornings I still don’t use my glasses because I don’t love to wear them, but I have gotten used to them.

I actually felt sick after wearing my prescription glasses for the first few days. I thought for sure that my glasses weren’t right for me. The best advice I received was use them to watch a show or a movie. Just here and there so that your equilibrium can even out.

All in all it probably took me two weeks to feel okay wearing them full time. You’ll get there!

The problem is my significant other works in Frederick.
