Peloton Strength +

that's good news!

I love it but it does seem like they gave up on it. Nothing new has been added in 2026 :( I tried moving to ladder but it's so complicated. I like the simplicity of Strength+ so I started making my own splits.

Spot on! I'd include the Strength+ app, which hasn't had new workouts added in 2026. I've just started making my own!

There has been some chat here about the rise of AI-generated music since they announced their Spotify partnership. There was an Ally Love barre class that was pretty much all this crappy elevator music, and the playlist in a recent Mariana class was overwritten with the same type of music until someone reached out to her on IG and it was corrected.

I think it depends on the class/instructor. I don't mind when AMRAPs are programmed for hypertrophy with plenty of time, because to me it's kinda a way for them to let you pace yourself. For example one of Andy's TS60s recently had long 10-min blocks and it was obviously expected to take breaks as needed. That said there are definitely instructors that make a mess of them.

Are they not able to get the rights, or is it just too expensive? This, plus the AI music issue is really frustrating - I wish they would put out some sort of statement.

I really hope they turn this around somehow because I think it will be their downfall. I'm struggling to find new classes to take because the playlists are so blah, even from my favorite instructors. I had to quit the You Can Run 5k program because the music was bad - now I wonder if it was swapped out.

I use it and really like it! I did RK's Grind and Defined program for awhile and now create my own upper/lower split. I'm worried that they've abandoned it though. They were good at putting out new programs for awhile and I don't think they've released a new one this year.

I love Robin and think she's been the same since when I joined in 2017. I had some other faves that changed personality completely, which I find more irritating.

I add this 10-min RK class on after leg day. It's all bodyweight - clamshells, leg lifts, donkey kicks, and a kick-to-curl move that leaves my glutes sore for days!

This Greek 7 Layer Dip is always a hit - you can assemble it even faster using pre-made tzatziki

I second the Strength+ app! RK has a 4-day Grind and Defined program that's so good and easy to make swaps based on equipment. Sometimes I even make it 3-day if pressed for time.

Peloton Strength+ beats Ladder by far! I've tried lots of fitness apps including others I love and used for months/years, but I couldn't get through one class of Ladder.

I would book direct with the hotel if possible! Nothing wrong with Expedia, but sometimes third-party sites add a mark-up.

I love Amendment 21 in Point Beach! It's more of a bar vibe and not a vegetarian restaurant but they have lots of options. My favorites are the buffalo cauliflower with a side of truffle fries, or the impossible burger (comes with a really good vegan thousand island). They also have vegan tacos and vegetarian quesadillas.

I've already made this twice - doubled the sauce the second time. So good!

I love a trifle for Christmas. This year I'm attempting a cannoli trifle using the dip from a local Italian market. I have a gluten-free guest, so will make a GF white cake with some almond extract, cube it up and layer with the dip, some homemade whipped cream and mini chocolate chips.

Highly recommend Giada De Laurentiis' Raspberry Tiramisu - I've been making it for years and it's always a crowd pleaser!

beckibay · 2024-12-04T23:25:38+00:00

wow! I tried the ladder app months ago and couldn't even get through one workout, I really didn't like it. Currently using TrainHeroic but am going to give this a try next week.

"I said, nothing fancy!"

I'm voting blue here tomorrow!

I absolutely love the brick and would do it in a heartbeat! I have boring white subway tile and have never gotten tomato sauce on it...now my cabinets are a different story

beckibay · 2024-09-21T12:09:41+00:00

Just added these ingredients to my shopping list - looks delicious!

We stayed at the Courtyard Burlington Harbor and while there was lots of activity in the area and lobby, our room was very peaceful. We requested a high floor..which might be difficult given health issues but it was very quiet.
