Christina Marie's video: Thinking of Purchasing a Peloton 5 Things to Consider Indoor Cycling Bike Review My Opinion

Today's video is a list of my list of 5 Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Peloton Bike. For a bit of background, I've owned my bike for 3 months so far and have been really pleased with the motivation and results I've had. I've lost 5 pounds to date and have felt myself toning up; I documented the process as well as my opinions on the bike in my previous Peloton video. ▶ Related Products EROS Smart Scale https://amzn.to/2ZdLt9L Bike Cleats https://amzn.to/3fkurMI Seat Cover https://amzn.to/3iMHloV Floor Mat https://amzn.to/3aPkuEa Cycling Shoes https://amzn.to/2WdpBbO Heart Rate Monitor https://amzn.to/35i1ooM NordicTrack Studio Cycle https://amzn.to/2yRNAW3 TEAMI Green Superfood Powder https://amzn.to/3iOwE5j OR use “CHRISMARIE25” for 25% off on Teami’s site ▶ Camera & Accessories Canon EOS Rebel T5i https://amzn.to/3f40Pnl Rode VideoMic https://amzn.to/2KINTFx Canon G7 X Mark II https://amzn.to/35hLP0I 1. Find a Referral Code Make sure to find a referral code from a friend or family member for $100 off accessories when you place an order. Each referral code is unique to a Peloton account owner and can only be used 12 times per year. For $100 you can almost buy the peloton branded spin shoes ($125 value). Also, for the owner of the referral code they get $100 towards merchandise each time as well. 2. Try Out the Bike Consider trying out the bike at an on-site location, for example in N. California there are Peloton stores in Palo Alto and San Francisco. If not, sign up for a spin class at Soul Cycle because while it is pricy ($35 per class), at least you can have a taste for the environment and feel. Groupon also offers discounts for spin classes (around $15-20 per class depending on if you purchase 5 or 10 classes). 3. No Pause Button on Bike The first time I took a ride I was searching all over for a pause but it does not exist. The idea is they are trying to emulate a traditional spin class in which you can’t just get up and take a break and resume whenever. Doing so would completely change the leaderboard stats. A couple or reddit users suggested that Peloton implement a pause button but for those who use it, their leaderboard stats for that particular ride would be disabled. I think that is fair but then again, what’s in it for Peloton? They have a popular enough following despite the nonexistent pause feature. 4. Plan Your Routine I’d suggest making a mental note of when you would ideally get your workout in, whether it is waking up early to do it before you start your day (then jumping in the shower) or the last item of your day, albeit you may be more tired and give yourself the excuse “I’ll just do it tomorrow”, this propelling yourself into the endless cycle of postponing your workout. Also, think about potential excuses you may give yourself regarding using the bike, for example: “I don’t have enough time” (have to carve out time for this to work), “it’ll burn my energy” (if you exert enough effort you will get the benefits of endorphins, for me this happens within 20 minutes or a ride as long as I’m honestly putting in good effort!), “I broke my routine or streak what’s the point in trying” (they always say the best workout is the one that you ACTUALLY do). You get the point, and you know yourself the best. 5. Consider the 30 Day Guarantee There is a 30 day money back return policy so if they helps you bite the bullet, give it a try! And during that time period consider filming or at least journaling your progress so even the skeptics (and yourself) can see if it truly makes a difference. ▶ Peloton Related Videos: Top Indoor Cycling Bike Options | Peloton Alternatives & Competitors $150 - $2,000 Range https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3gBhtcgADM SoulCycle’s NEW At-Home Bike - How does it compare to Peloton?
