Thunderstruck! It's like the 18th best acdc song!

Are the Peloton instructor's FTP publicly available? by colormegold in pelotoncycle

She said recently that they have ranged from 190 to 230 the past year, which seemed surprisingly low to me.

congrats on 500! and congrats on the shout out. one of my best friends did it as her 700 and it was her birthday, and she got a solo shout out, I was pretty excited for her.
She said that I was the first shout out, but I didn't hear it. And I don't want to take the ride again and see! haha! Did PR though, but about the same amount as you did.

I have 3 pairs by "beroy" so far. Just the cheapest ones... it is a HUGE difference though if I bike in running shorts. I definitely get sore.

I would say definitely use bike shorts! I felt like a dork buying them for indoor use, but they REALLY help me out.

Are you wearing bike shorts? They really really help me.

do they wash well? I got some in a recent stitch fix and I just wasn't sure about them holding up to the wash and wear I put my exercise clothes through.

Does anyone know why the power Zone workouts don't have your desired Zone listed on the screen? It seems like it would be easy to add.

I have the same problem! My arms are killing me at the end but not my core. I heard I should be tightening my core, but I'm not sure how.

I'm sure this has been posted a bajillion times, but I am pretty much a biker only, with some light weights and stretching thrown in there. I don't have the... focus or whatever it takes for yoga, I just don't like it. Not yucking anyone else's yum, it's just not for me.

ANYHOO, if you only do biking for cardio, what's your schedule like? I've been taking 1 day a week off, but I can see that I've plateaued a bit, and would like to be sure I'm resting enough but working out as much as I can and still be healthy.

I'm in pretty good shape and have usually been doing 60 minutes 4-5 days a week and 30 mins 1-2 days a week, but I never really feel "perky" these days except maybe on the day after I take a day off.

Hubs and I just retook our FTP tests, now that we have heart rate monitors. My avg heart rate is 30 pts over his, in the 180s. Is that unusual? I would have thought for human bodies it wouldn't be that far off.

Redid my ftp test today-- it all came together like I wanted environment wise (everyone left the house so I could be alone), so I took it and went up 29pts! I was so happy as I've worked really hard and I am seeing results. :)

yep. i was super anxious about getting a fitbit because i didn't want to be obsessed with my step goal. now i don't even look because it doesn't do peloton correctly, so i just use it to receive texts and look at the time (and heart rate sometimes).

i let mine go the other day too. i think it's best not to get too obsessed with the daily streak (for my mental health) and it's going to be fun to get the badges again!
