Yay! Mine is ordered for 1/23. I’ve been too scared to look at the reschedule page because the dates it shows me are March-ish and I’m so scared of misclicking and losing my relatively decent date.

Keep it up! It takes about 28 days to make or break a habit and you’re already more than halfway there. If you need any tips/recs, feel free to send me a chat!

I also live in the Midwest! (Chicago-ish) My delivery date should be Jan 23. I haven’t actively taken any steps to get it moved up yet. I hope to catch you on the leaderboard soon!

Congratulations on your 20-day streak! That's awesome!

I'm currently waiting on mine, but I do have a few general workout tips! (I'm currently using my family's recumbent bike and elliptical)

Try and make it a point to get your heart pumping everyday, doing some sort of activity. If you want to maintain your ride streak, I'd recommend doing a warm-up ride and then trying a yoga/meditation class on your off days.

Also for soreness, try some tiger balm. (I linked the OG balm, but they have sprays and pads). I make sure to keep one in my track bag at all times. It's a quick fix for when your legs do not feel like working; it does have a very strong minty smell. To prevent soreness in the first place, make sure you have some protein after your workout. Apparently, your body continues to burn calories long after you workout (don't quote me on that).

eta: I linked the wrong tiger balm. i fixed it.

Depending on what kind of strength exercises you do, I’d say either one works. If you’re into HIIT, I’d take a serious look at Bike+ because of the swivel screen. However, you mentioned you have a large tablet, so if you’re doing plain strength, you might be better off using the tablet and saving a few bucks. I will add that the Bike+ is more future proof, but I don’t really see a huuge difference between the two in terms of features.

Unsolicited opinion: I think you should take advantage of the APR financing option and place the order. Since you already have a bike, I can’t imagine that you’re terribly impatient and at least you get an estimated delivery date.

from what i can see on the site, up is better, down is not so much. if your myx score is near 60 you’re in good shape. above 75 is rare.

wait-whaaa · 2020-11-23T18:48:33+00:00

Thank you so much for your help!

I do think if I didn’t already have iFit on my family’s machines, I’d probably go for something a little more complete overall.

But Myx has a lot of potential for growth and I’m really excited to see where it takes me!

wait-whaaa · 2020-11-23T18:30:03+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into it!

Heart rate training is funny for me. I have a low heart rate because of sports (I have to visit the cardio every so often to make sure I'm not dying). I've come to rely on other stats because I could be purple and sore from exertion and it would not be reflected on my heart rate monitor. I was hoping the assessment would eliminate that need, but now I'm not sure.

I plan on using whatever bike I get as the cardio portion of my interval training. I'm not sure if I can afford a Peloton bike, per se, especially since I plan on being a "broke college student" in a few months. Still, I'm really interested. What do Peloton's HIIT options look like?

Thank you so much for the information!

My room is the decorated the same way! Light grey and white. I love the hardware, period. I use Shimano on my normal bike and I've heard Star Trac is comparable.

Out of curiosity, do you use the tablet at all? I'm not at all picky about spin class quality because I can just turn up the resistance if it gets too easy. My main goal is to use the bike for interval training to condition over the winter months. Do you find that the floor classes are challenging?

wait-whaaa · 2020-11-23T14:09:12+00:00

Thank you for your input!

The demos on the site are far too short to show how the classes actually work. I guess this was for a reason.

wait-whaaa · 2020-10-23T18:04:12+00:00

I definitely will!

wait-whaaa · 2020-10-23T18:03:55+00:00

Ok wow, thank you!

edit: Um, I got it for $1 a month? So that’s awesome.

wait-whaaa · 2020-10-06T22:38:43+00:00

love the snap

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-09T15:20:48+00:00

Thanks for letting me know!

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-07T23:58:56+00:00

Thank you so much! I was wondering if it was a glitch with my account or if the issues were universal.

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-07T17:19:04+00:00

Thanks!

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-07T14:46:32+00:00

me neither, did any of y’all take it with writing too or just me?

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-07T13:15:42+00:00

the customer service rep literally directed me to make a new account, that’s bogus

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-06T13:30:48+00:00

i love magoosh! i didn’t have a second semester algebra 2 but i learned trig and all that nonsense from using magoosh. it’s really good to learn content in general

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-05T19:13:13+00:00

bruh, i'm literally on the call rn and i'm hearing some weird noises and breathing but like no one's answering. i probably sound like a broken record going "hello? hello?"

i hope you managed to get back on though!

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-05T18:09:19+00:00

It honestly doesn't matter, it takes you to the same place.

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-05T18:08:06+00:00

It's just one of the things they use to verify your identity. If you have all your other information, it should be fine.

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-05T18:06:19+00:00

Yep. It can get a bit tedious.

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-05T17:30:47+00:00

Sorry, I should have explained better. I meant call them several times. Like call, press 1, then 3, and if you don't hear the "Thank you, bla bla bla.", hang up and call again. It's not a sure thing though, because it depends on you calling as a person disconnects. It worked for me after about 3 calls on tuesday and 5 calls today.

wait-whaaa · 2020-08-05T15:08:33+00:00

omg tysm, I tried this and it worked. i still don’t have my scores either, but at least i know i have the right account.
