You guys are going to talk me into buying a Peloton, goddamnit.

Pros— I feel better about myself
Cons— still pretty fat

So I was never a cardio guy. Actually hate it, which is kinda weird since I love to put my headphones on and zone out while working out. I have done lifting routines since college. I even tried to force myself into a running routine and it started ruining my day thinking about doing it at night so I bailed after like a month. Anywho, I don't hate the Peloton. The jams are pretty good and I can always hop on and do at least 20 minutes. My daily routine is now a 20 min ride followed by 20-30 minutes of lifting. I'm old balls now so I don't lift heavy crap that much any more so adding the Peloton and then transferring my lifting to pushups/pullups, dumbbells and bands has been great. If you are on the fence, set a Craigslist alert and see if you can get lucky. I got one that still had the wrap on it for a great deal right before the pandemic. You probably aren't going to get that lucky, but its worth a shot especially if you are on the fence anyway.

Weighed myself today and I'm down another 15-17lbs from the last time I weighed myself and down 40 now from where I was at for several years.

I have been lifting the weights and I must say it makes my body feel bad then fell slightly better.

Does you CF box do a 12 Days of Christmas WOD? We did:

1. Jerk
2. Clean
3. DL
4. Burpee over bar
5. WB
6. Pullups
7. Jumping lunges
8. T2B (K2E)
9. HSPU / HRPU
10. Cal bike
11. Cal row
12. Burpee MU (pullup for me)

I was hurting pretty bad by the end of 12 rounds but it felt good to finish!

The OH squats / front squats and thrusters in that would destroy me. Our class thought about tinkering with the whiteboard to add some thrusters for the next group.

Worst one I’ve ever done day 7 or so was thrusters and day 12 was some heavy ass man maker’s.. I think I hate 12 days of Christmas more than about any other one

@Kat Kid you try out the Lane Break on Peloton yet? I was skeptical but I like it a lot.

I have been weight lifting and coaching and have completely neglected peloton for awhile. I need to get back on a schedule.

It’s like 70 degrees in Kansas. If any of you guys are inside on a Peloton, I’m going to fly out there and destroy it like stevedave and his dojo buddies at the Ernie Barrett statue.

You sir can kindly go eff your self

Yep, wetwillie pull that piece of crap outside. You need some vitamin D in your life

Peloton is great (so I hear) but if you can get a good group of bros or broettes to workout with you should. Friends for life

Peloton is fantastic. I'm still fat, but I feel better about getting 30 minutes of cardio in 5 days a week. Probably gotten more use out of the Peloton bike and membership in the last 6 months than all gyms combined in the last 10 years.

Guys, I got a couple of pairs of exercise shorts from this company called Ten Thousand that I heard about on a podcast a few months ago. They feel awesome. May be more information than anyone wanted but I would recommend the 7" tactical short with liner:

steve dave · « **Reply #3772 on:** March 03, 2022, 04:07:23 PM »

Those shorts are tactical AF

Spracne · « **Reply #3773 on:** March 03, 2022, 04:08:41 PM »

I think those tactical 7" shorts are just the juice I need to get completely yoked.

Anyone have a recommendation for acquiring home gym equipment? Squat rack, bench, etc. The new house has an oversized 3 car garage, so looking to build a home gym in part of it. So far the best I have found is https://www.titan.fitness/. TIA
