Health/Fitness

I went to the gym by my GFs house last week and they had peloton-style bikes there. I got my fat ass on it to try it out and I liked it. I liked having a decent sized screen all to myself and sat there watching baja 500/1000 videos on youtube with a few taps on the screen. As far as the workout itself, I just did my normal fast-paced cruising speed and every few minutes would crank up the intensity and bust my ass, then back down to cruising. Im sure I couldve gotten a better workout if I wouldve followed one of their routines but DGAF.

So in short, if I could find one for "cheap" Id get it.

I’d go for a real bike so you can be outside while training. It’ll be so much more enjoyable, especially if you engaged the kids too and setup weekly rides with them. It’s hard to be quality time with the kids combined with fitness activities.

I wish i could, but most of the time the stationary bike is used at 5am, or 9pm. during the week i have 0 free time during day light hours, and on the weekend, i am either in the garage, or spending time with the kid anyways.

Some things that worked for me were wearing a weighted vest, also, (flame suit on) during Covid I started doing CrossFit because they were the only gyms open, they can be expensive but in terms of functional fitness that translates to real life, I truly believe it’s the best gym regimen you can do. It’s fully scalable to each individual as well, you may want to give it shot. Walking on a treadmill with the incline up makes more of a difference then you think.

As far as nutrition cut out stuff with added sugar in it, and if you HAVE to have something with sugar I usually try to drink a bottle of water first and that sometimes kills the craving. Breakfast: high lean protein or skip it, personally I like plain Greek yogurt with some fresh blueberries and a little organic honey. In general Greek yogurt is a weight loss cheat code. A IG page that is good is @drjamesdinic, he has some good books too.

The biggest thing that will derail you: alcohol.
It’s more calories than you think, it screws up your sleep, and it slows your metabolism until you digest it.

Above all else: remember this is a marathon not a sprint, don’t beat yourself up if you have a bad day, there’s another one to win tomorrow. 5 years ago I got to a point where I couldn’t go up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath, now I can run a 7 minute mile at almost 37. If I can do it, anyone can.
