I love this- you are right- I do feel like, well at the very least you know I am putting in the work and not just putting on a show for the camera LOL- RAW and REAL is me ;-) Thanks for the encouragement!
YES!!!! Lets DESTROY IT--- fat BE GONE-- VANQUISHED!! Are you gonna get the cyclace one?? --While waiting for your bike to arrive get the peloton app and start with the walks.. they will INSPIRE you soooo soo much!
awesome- thanks for watching-- Jason is working on his own stuff too, maybe we will get around to filming some videos with him too- and get more of his face up on this channel again for all the guys to relate too!
the faces was accurate. my bike just arrived today and i thought "its just cycling, whats so hard about it?" i didnt even last 10 minutes. i was closed to crying. might start doing it seriously tomorrow cuz watching this inspires me
I just got a bike today and I thought the same thing lol … I’m gonna ride this for an hour… I only lasted 10 minutes. So what I did was I did 10 minutes every 20 minutes until I did that five times this evening. I’m hoping I will get stronger
Oh my gosh, thank you so much..yup I bawled, I was emotinal posting that to insta stories but when I finished and laid down to stretch I just started sobbing...i was so proud of myself. I did a walk 1 mile a day challenge the next month...and then holidays came and some how next thing I knew it was January. I have been back consistent on the bike ( my goal is 20 days per month minimum) and Im mad that I had that 3 month gap right after starting..I would be so much further along...oh well. Im here noe. Thanks for watching!!
Hi, great video. You are doing so well. I just got my spin bike about 2 weeks ago. Starting slow as I am 78, overweight too, have had heart surgery 4 years ago and both knees replaced. I get out of breath frequently when I ride and have gradually increased my minutes. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to following along with you all...
Ginger you are an absolute beast in all the best ways-- recovering from multiple surgeries and your Silver age and still working on your health is GOALZ for sure for me...Be my mentor! I I actually do not have a ACL in my right knee myself and I always forget about it. I obtained a complete 5 degree tear while doing a fit run obstacle course in 2015-- and I have never had it repaired-- my doctors said it was not necessary for me to so I opted for just physical therapy-- I totally forget that I dont have an acl in that knee until I go to do out of saddle and I am hyper conscious of my "proper form" I blogged (with wrtten words..) about tearing my acl here if you are interested. gerouxcrew.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2979&action=edit
New subbie here!! I was researching and looking far and wide for a cycle bike that would hold my weight! I’m so grateful that I stumbled upon your video!! This bike is far more affordable than the bikes that I was about to purchase!!!
Thank you for posting this. I'm built like you in this video and I just started riding on an echelon ex-3. It's inspiring to see that you rode for 100 miles in a month!
Wow so glad I found you! I’ve dusted off my stationary bike and moved it into the living room. I’ve been walking 10k steps a day but I live in central Fl and it’s way to hot to walk. Cycling is hard but my goal is 1 hour and I break that up through out the day. I don’t have a fancy bike but I’ve heard of modifications gadgets that I can get on Amazon to gage distance and speed. I’ll look into those. Thanks for the encouragement you did amazing!
I started at 278lbs in September and I’m now down to 242lbs from going to a pescatarian diet. Just ordered a bike to boost my weight loss moving forward. Your video has really motivated me, thank you 🙏
You are so inspiring! I'm 57, quite overweight, and have bad arthritis in my hips and knees. My Hubs is also quite overweight, and facing knee replacement surgery at the end of this month. We bought a Recumbent Exercise bike yesterday, with a nice variety of workouts and plenty of different resistence levels. I know it's not spinning, but it's what I can do for now, and hopefully spinning will come in time.
Ms. Sharon V. I just saw this video tonight for the first time myself. I am truly encouraged by this video. She is a real person doing what we are trying to do. I just got my bike last week. I wish you the best. I have to lose 30lbs, for health reasons. Just wanted to share a word of encouragement.
Consider treating yourself to some spin shoes and pedals. It will make all the difference when you stand up out of the saddle also less risk of rolling your ankle. I have the same bike at home and this really enhances the ride. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tip! I have considered it- since you have teh same bike and you added the click in pedals can you give me a link to the ones you swapped out to? thanks
I also purchased the cyclace bike during Black Friday/cyber Monday and got a killer deal. I also didn’t want to buy a peloton or similar until I knew if it was something I enjoyed. I was doing great for quite some time especially after I got past the initial saddle soreness. Then I started longer rides and began having some tailbone issues. I have a new seat coming that is suppose to help. Looking forward to getting back on! Keep up the great work!
my longests rides have been 60 minutes--and yeah they aren't the comfiest but I have not had any tailbone issues- sorry you dealt with that hope the new seat helps- if it does share what you got so we know if the issue happens to us too ;-) Good luck and GOOD JOB to you too!
You've motivated so much. We both started at the same weight and I love spinning too, so I'm taking this as a sign I need to get back on it. Great job. I'm so proud of you.
I am so glad I found your video. Thank you for your transparency and sharing it all (even the funny faces 🤗). CONGRATS on your weightlossI have a bike in my cart, but the reviews say with heavier weights the resistance goes out in a couple of months. Have you noticed that at all?
Thanks so much! I personally have not noticed any issues with resistance on my bike. The only thing I have noticed is the seat shifts a lot now and is impossible to tighten due to over use of the tightening tool..so I may need to get a new seat, it hasnt bothered me enough yet to look into replacing it. Keep me posted on how your new bike goes :)
I’m actually gonna buy this bike because of ur video. U inspired me to start over. I at on time dropped my A1C and lost 60lbs in 3 months and then stress and life happened. I will be riding in the next couple weeks when my bike comes in. Thanks so much for ur inspiring video. ♥️♥️♥️
oh I so hope it is a good fit for you and you love it-- when it comes and after you are comfy with it- start your free trial on the peloton app and at least get you some free stuff for 30 days and let me know your thoughts on both! Good luck-- you have done it before so you have the TASTE of victory---that will be very motivating-- I know it is for me.. that and the idea of renewing my wedding vows in a cute white dress on a Hawaiian beach for our 25th anniversary in 2025 ;-)
You have no idea how grateful I am to have come across your channel! I've been searching for people who spin that look like me! Thank you so much for sharing this! Looking forward to watching you achieve your goals, you're amazing!
Crystal..thank you soooo much. It was a lot of swallowing shame for me to post after I viewed it all myself, but then I just saud..screw it, you are DOING IT, YOU ARE FIERCE, there a thousands of other people JUST like you, let them see themselves...and we csn watch ourselves transform. You Get it girl!! Keep me posted about your journey. J2tycoaz on insta
@@GerouxCrew Yes, I totally agree! I love that you pushed past that, because you truly inspire me! I'll definitely follow you, mine is: @somechicklosesit
I have tried one spin class almost 10 years ago and I'm currently researching if it's worth it to do. I have a great physique but terrible cardio and energy and your video helped me decide that I want to give it a try. You are damn lovable and have great personality and one lucky husband. I respect your determination and honesty about the faces you make which is also good to see. You are awesome
So inspiring!! I just found my love of the spin bike at the gym yesterday. I was so excited because I finally found a cardio machine that I actually like! I have A LOT of weight to lose (over 200 pounds), so finding the exercise that I enjoy doing is going to be key for me. I went a little over 5 miles today between 2 10-minute workout sessions, with strength training in between. I LOVE the idea of 80 mile challenge! I may have to try that for next month!
Totally helpful. I don't have a bike, but they have them in the room at the gym and I have been thinking about trying then again. Thanks for doing this video!!!
Thanks for watching Rhonda- your nudge has made me realize I really need to get my butt back on the bike and get back on this ride to better health myself. let me know how your first ride in the gym goes! Good luck ;-)
thank you! Over this last few weeks especially my form has gotten a ton better-- I am more steady and less "rocking all over the bike" and I can do 115 cadence without bouncing around like I am on some back woods road --maybe I will film some more clips for my next update video to see the difference--- I feel the difference so I assume I look a little different on there... Are you enjoying spinning? Are you gonan try the Peloton app-- its totally free for 30 days!
@@GerouxCrew That's the blessing of starting at the bottom. Nowhere to go but up! 115 cadence is SUPERB. I'm nowhere near that. From my previous experience (long time ago) with spinning I don't bounce, and I can get out of the saddle for climbs but I'm living for the day when I'm doing 100+ cadence. Thank you for being so transparent and best of luck to you as you continue to press on and smash those goals. I'm rooting for ya sis!
Thanks so much Tracey! You are in luck- I will be uploading a new video this week ;-) Its cool to see the difference and realize all that I have learned about myself since the first video. Good luck on your journey- keep me posted ;-)
I just bought a NordicTrack Grand Tour Pro. I can’t do spin, but I always loved riding the stationary bike at the gym and lost 38 pounds at one point just doing that and watching my diet (also not counting calories). Here I am 9 years later and 21 pounds heavier (242) than when I started that journey (221); older and way less for and more sedentary. You are so inspiring for me. Thank you for sharing your story and your results and for being real about it. You Rock! I wish you much success on your road to being healthy!
Thank you Jill :) I love the generic big seated stationary bikes at the gym when I jave a membership. You will have to let me know your thoughts on that one..I filmed a few at Costco planning to make a video with options for people and they sold out before I could post it lol...seems like a lot of peeps are building up their home gyms right now
I’m so glad I found this video and your channel. I’m about the same weight as you in this video and I actually bought the Peloton (with delays, scheduled to arrive mid April 😭). I can’t wait!!! Awesome job on your results! About to watch your Peloton app vid now!
Skrink1981 I am jealous--- as much as I say "I just cant being myself to spend that money" I do think I would love one it just doesn't make sense for me at this stage with my weight and also wanting a bike that my husband could use too---its funny that the bikes are made with weight limits that are in my opinion "low"--- Hey are you watching Peloton?? Do a redesign peloton and make a bike with 400-500 weight capacity so you can reach en entire NEW level of clients...don't be the lululemon on exercise equipment and cater only to the already smaller peeps...and maybe get some instructors that are different body types up on there too!!!
Ur awesome girl!! And those faces are those of a badass putting in work!! BTW I have That bike. I too could not bring myself to purchase a peloton especially because I’m a spin instructor and I know I’ll be back in the gym soon. So it’s good enough for home. Keep it up you’re doing great girl!
Baddass...I will wear that proudly. I cry on the bike more times than Id like to admit..not discouraged crying..overwhelmed and proud of myself. It is hard and i get to hard back off..get bsck to hard..and keep that cycle going until my ride is done. Ebb and flow.i haven't had a ride that I just phoned in yet...i always get off the bike happy with the effort. Do you post spin videos??
I just got a spin bike for my birthday! I made it past 20 minutes today!!! The first day I only did 10 minutes! I’m sooo out of shape! You are an inspiration though!!!
Awesome I just started spinning myself , rehab to recovering from covid alot slower on my end as my lungs have taken some damage from the virus but I enjoy it. Building back my lower body muscles after been bed ridden with the virus for 3 weeks. Its been a week I already feel a difference in my chest as I breath and my legs when I walk . Wishing you the best on your journey you go girl!! 💪💪🦵🦵
Panda..wow you are inspiring, so glad you are recovering from what sounds like a bad case of c19. Turn on a scenic ride and a slow beat play list..slow rides are just delicious and sometimes can be harder and more satisfying than quick cadence ones. Lets stay connected to keep encouraging one amother J2tycoaz on insta
Good for you! Keep up the hard work. I’ve been doing spin now at a studio for a year and a half, and honey, I still make faces like those sometimes. Lol. It’s the “don’t give up” face. Keep up the good work. It will absolutely pay off!!🚴🚴🚴🚴
aww thank you so much! I am glad that the faces seem to be a normal thing-- until I saw the slips myself had no clue I was making them---and when I have done spin in person I am so dang wrapped up in my own self I dont even notice other people so didn't know if others also showed their struggle so outwardly LOL
Great job! I just graduated to a spin bike (Joroto X2) from my "around the neighborhood" bike. I need to get my cardio up and shed more weight. I was sweating BIG TIME the first day on the spin bike - lol. Now, I've combined my daily workout with a low carb diet. For me, the combination of the two is very effective for weight loss. Congrats!
We are following a "clean keto" basically paleo or whole foods style of eating. Both of our bodies seem to really be healing up inside from decades of poor choices Not strictly keto but, no dairy and in the 25 carbs a day range and its been sustainable. I feel good where my cardio is..now I need to get back to some strength training...that should really add progress. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck on your journey
So glad to have found this video!!! I’ve been wanting to purchase a bike for at home to make working out that much easier. Do you like the quality of the bike? Do you feel as if it’s sturdy while riding both in saddle and out? As someone in a larger body I’m trying to find a bike that can support my size. I’ve been debating on getting this specific bike for a while now and I’d appreciate your feedback thank youuuu
I really need to loose weight too. & recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knee Dr of course recommended cycling so im thinking of getting a good affordable exercise bike Thank you for your videos! You are such an inspiration . Ive been having really bad pain in my knee to the point i had to take some time off work 😢
This was a very helpful video. I got mine this month and was super proud that my bottom stopped hurting. Also, in the beginning I could only do 5 minutes at a time and now I can get through 10 minutes no problem.
I love your video. You did an amazing job there. I got my bike in last week and am spinning once a day now. I love it so far. No movement on the scale either yet but I’m committed to keep on going.
@@GerouxCrew let me tell you, that soreness is no joke. It’s really painful even with a towel. I’m so glad you brought that up because I thought I’m weird but luckily I’m not the only one. I’m happy to hear that it will go away after awhile.
Thanx Jessie! I'm looking to purchase a spin bike soon. That was encouraging. Trying to get back into my workouts, and that was the PUSH that I needed😘
Hi. I am from South Wales (UK). Just a few miles from where Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins were born :--). Accents are rather difficult to describe of course. Yours is clearly 'American', however, without any 'sharpness' or 'high to low' then 'low to high' intonations which my ears pick up on with some (not all) American accents. Thats just me though, haha.
I did the Peloton 'Hack' a little over a week ago. I am using the app and have been on five rides so far. I certainly like the look of your bike better than mine! I like what you said about just being calorie mindful because I'm 41, about to be 42 - I know me. I KNOW a 'DIET' isn't going to work. This month I've just focused on two things. Drinking more water and eating out less. Whatever I eat at home is == whatever. Basically - more trips to the grocery store and less trips to fast foo joints. That's it. I have not weighted again since a week or so before I got my bike. I was at my heaviest ever. 250. Like you I'm looking for an increase in stamina and basically....I gotta sweat every single day. Period. I already have high BP issues and my father has had heart surgery. And I feel like crap. There is no way this can continue. I can do better for myself. Thank you for this video - I look forward to watching your other ones.
Ginger-- I got my bike in late August and the first day all I did was SIT on it for a few minutes. I should update with another video to share more details of my "first few weeks" My first rides were all for "distance" meaning I was just trying to log 5 miles on my tracker---no matter how long it took---that first week I got off my bike every few minutes-- sometimes I collapsed on the floor to recover and then dragged myself back up on it--- until I did 5 miles. That might have been too much pushing it for others-- so not recommending it outright-- just sharing that I had a goal of amount of miles and didnt care about speed or resistance or how long it took me to get those in a day-- if I had to do 2 miles in the morning and 2 at lunch and a mile later sometimes I did that. I worked up to staying on the bike for an entire 20 minute ride video with pausing of the video. Then I worked up to entire video no pausing even Now I am at staying on the bike for the entire 30 minute or 45 minute rides without getting off or pausing for recovery. Its taken me almost 6 months to get to this point Slow and Steady and its showing me progress so it WORKS. Good luck and congrats on your start!!
thank you so so much- the weight loss is a huge benefit and the first thing that most people think an exercise routine is for-- but for me- its more about self care and I feel so good on the days that I do exercise I am changing my mind set to seeing my time intentionally exercising on my bike or on the apps somehow as no different than taking my vitamins and meds in the morning---its needed.
@@GerouxCrew YES! that is the 🔑 when your mind connects to it like any other self care routine you'll be golden. I did 10 miles on my elliptical & bike this morning. I've used 10 miles as my goal. I felt amazing after.
This video is so informative! I am also thinking of buying the same bike but the problem is with my height, I am 4'11 so I am not sure what to do. Btw it's late at night and I was feeling sad cuz of my weight. But, thanks to you I feel so much motivated than ever before. Tysm ❤️ Keep grinding 😄
I have been so behind on my emails and getting everyones comments- I am sorry that you had a low moment the other night but you know what you went online and sought out positive things and that is a HUGE task for lots of people sometimes-- to recognize an emotion and to then pick intentional activity of some sort to make a change...you are rewiring your brain little by ittle when you make those positive choices- You should get a bike-- if your finances are in a place that you can get one right now I feel like 4 11 would be fine on the bike I ride I am 5 foot 2 (and 3/4) and I feel like there is still plenty of reach for my toes...are you longer legged or torsoed?
Are you doing out of saddle stuff? Ie standing if yes CRANK the resistance way up and go slower until your leg muscles start recognizing that tgis is what you are doing..they will start developing around to strengthen the area and should start to feel better allowing you to either start going faster or lower resistance...pay attention to form..i will see if I can link to someone that talks about proper alignment . Just do not push yourself too much...when seated..dial back resistance and cadence and then work back up once your body catches up to where your brain wants it to go lol. Caveat..im just a fat girl with an amazon bike telling you what MIGHT WORK not a medical professional;)
@@GerouxCrew IDK why that didn't occur to me. Common sense lol. I'm on the same boat. Overweight with an Amazon bike. I need to be patient and listen to my body. Thank you so much ! You're such an inspiration 💕
If peloton is still doing the free app trial when you get it..do it!! Im loving using the peloton app on my phone or on my firetv stick!! Let me know how it goes for you :)
@@GerouxCrew unfortunately the app isn’t available in France, I was originally going to get the peloton digital subscription but I can’t 🙁 hopefully it comes to France soon !!
thanks!- My adult son (who will likely always live at home due to autism) collects those so we decided to display them in our home workout room so we are inspired to be strong like super heroes
Thank you!- I have mini goals in mind that I want to achieve when on the bike and just last week I finally got all the way through an entire song that had out of saddle and high cadences and I did the ENTIRE SONG completely as called by the instructor--- all the standing parts-- and in the cadence ranges too which I am really proud of!!
HI dillsthrills - the only things I could recommend would be things I have tried which are limited-- My bike is this one: Cyclace Exercise Bike Stationary 330 Lbs Weight Capacity- Indoor Cycling Bike with Comfortable Seat Cushion, Tablet Holder and LCD Monitor smile.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.account.AFI5VSQDQDIM7FNHUYFWOUBQD42Q/13T4C2LI6CLSB?type=explore&ref=idea_cp_vl_ov_d Other bikes that I have used in the past are the large commercial gym ones that are found at gyms--- not the spin bikes the tall regular stationary bikes or the low recumbant ones. I feel like I lucked out that I like the one I did buy off of Amazon- because I went to several sporting goods stores in person to sit on different bikes and didn't like the feel of any of the ones I actually sat on I will say I also really like row machines-- they are really good for in my opinion full body cardio- I know me as a bigger girl my legs are used to carrying heavier weight so really do well in propelling me in rowing so that the upper body part is true cardio effort---when I was able to go to the gym I loved doing my weight sets, then rowing for either "time" ie beat myself in my head or for 15 minutes right before a YIN restorative yoga class and then just melt into the mat---I lost a lot of weight doing that 2-3 times a week. (I went from 280 to 217) (we vlogged some of our previous weight loss success a couple years ago if you want to see any of the older videos on here..found ourselves back at square 1 a few months ago for various reasons ;-) and the same strategies are proving still successful, albeit it maybe a little slower this time. Determined to not quit this time. Good luck to us both!!
@@GerouxCrew Thank you so much for your detailed response. Just ordered mine. Onwards and Upwards, hopefully. Once again thank you for the tips. All the best.
First I want to say that you're beautiful I meant that not in a sexist way but as a person. You doing a Good job keep it up! I've started riding a month ago and watching what I eat as well and feeling great.
Thank you so much- as awkward as it is to just graciously accept compliments I am sure it is hard to say them as well--so I appreciate the nice words ;-) Good luck on your rides and I hope you have great success in your journey too!
@@GerouxCrew No, it isn’t hard to say nice things to try to help motivate someone The world will be a better place if we all try to do the same. Good luck 👍
Its a fit bit versa 2.. i got mine at Sams club..i think or maybe costco..one or the other. $149 www.fitbit.com/global/us/products/smartwatches/versa?gclid=Cj0KCQiA0fr_BRDaARIsAABw4EtMAx5jC7WGU7g974V9kFetiIe65_PZ0ERIhf3PR-n34hZy2djgmQAaAlkLEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
The seat is as decent I added a gell pad cover that I got at target and that really helpes..the first 2 weeks I sat on towels for extra padding until I got used to it.
It took about 3 weeks for my lady parts to adjust to saddle soreness..I folded a hand towel a few times and sat on it until I bought a gel seat cover at Target...I dont notice it any more at all.
You will want your resistance totally "off" at the beginning of any ride--like zero turned all the way to the left or counter clockwise --totally slippery spinning-then slowly turn the knob right or clockwise until you feel the very first sense of "drag" on the wheels and that is what I use for my own personal baseline of zero or sometimes they call that "flat road" I am no expert in bike resistance but for my own self I have determined that 1 quarter of a turn on the knob on my bike (a cyclace) is equal to a 1 or 10% depending on what is being called out...so if they say be at a 40-50 resistance I will have a full knob turn for 40% and an extra quarter turn to 50 and so on... so if the knob was a clock a quarter turn would be from 12-3 if that makes sense. I am actually going to try out my best friends peloton and see what it really feels like and see if I have been close or way off...once I do that I will let everyone know lol Good luck!!
I have the same bike thanks to the other video I watched of you 😁 and okay I’ll try that out! Thanks and can’t wait for the update. Someone sent me a paper for peleton conversion but I’m like uhm lol! I also tell siri to start indoor cycling workout and it helps and easier for me when keeping up with time!
That sounds great! I scoured offer up and fb market while looking for something too. It was during that run on at home gym equipment so there was not a lot offered. I did the bike with arms at the gym when i beeddd a change of scenery and really liked it! Keep me posted on how its going :)
sure? Is that a thing or do we just create a verbal secret handshake to make it so? Everyone else look away- Fist pump from 6 feet away and Explosion bomb while duck facing! GO!
I can film something this week with an up date. I am down 26 pounds since September. September was my "on" month and then holidays happend and I mostly just walked dogs and did a handful of rides. Im back on the bike a bit more regularly now. I am currently using the peloton app as it was free for 2 months. I REALLY like it alot. I use a ton of different workouts on it, walks, bodyweight, stretching, yoga etc.
I had success counting calories but found I got too hung up on numbers. I am intuitive eating whole clean foods and not counting anything. I might check a label to find sugar or carbs to decide if I want something that is not a whole raw food. So far so good on this side and it feels way more sustainable for our lifestyles and personalities. But yes, science says energy out being more than energy in should result in weight loss.
Girl, those aren’t “funny” faces. Those are looks of determination! Get it girl. 🚴
I love this- you are right- I do feel like, well at the very least you know I am putting in the work and not just putting on a show for the camera LOL- RAW and REAL is me ;-) Thanks for the encouragement!
I was going to say that! Stay in the zone!
You have just made my choice easy regarding a spin bike as I was lazy but the time is now and I'm about 300 pounds. Let the war on fat begin
YES!!!! Lets DESTROY IT--- fat BE GONE-- VANQUISHED!! Are you gonna get the cyclace one?? --While waiting for your bike to arrive get the peloton app and start with the walks.. they will INSPIRE you soooo soo much!
@@GerouxCrew great idea as every step counts and looking forward to this challenge
Yayyyy Let's do this!
How’d it go ?
Fantastic!!! Mine has begun as well
I am a guy. I am over 60 pounds overweight. Thanks for this - so inspiring
awesome- thanks for watching-- Jason is working on his own stuff too, maybe we will get around to filming some videos with him too- and get more of his face up on this channel again for all the guys to relate too!
the faces was accurate. my bike just arrived today and i thought "its just cycling, whats so hard about it?" i didnt even last 10 minutes. i was closed to crying. might start doing it seriously tomorrow cuz watching this inspires me
I just got off mine....the faces..move me to my next push. Congrats getting a bike!!
I just got a bike today and I thought the same thing lol … I’m gonna ride this for an hour… I only lasted 10 minutes. So what I did was I did 10 minutes every 20 minutes until I did that five times this evening. I’m hoping I will get stronger
Thank you for posting this! I’m
heavier and been trying to find others who are spinning too. You have inspired me!!
10 pounds in a month!? YOU GO GIRL!! I'm so inspired by you! 5:28 and I'm crying. LOL I can feel how proud you were!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much..yup I bawled, I was emotinal posting that to insta stories but when I finished and laid down to stretch I just started sobbing...i was so proud of myself.
I did a walk 1 mile a day challenge the next month...and then holidays came and some how next thing I knew it was January. I have been back consistent on the bike ( my goal is 20 days per month minimum) and Im mad that I had that 3 month gap right after starting..I would be so much further along...oh well. Im here noe.
Thanks for watching!!
Me 4 pound in one month 30m at day
Hi, great video. You are doing so well. I just got my spin bike about 2 weeks ago. Starting slow as I am 78, overweight too, have had heart surgery 4 years ago and both knees replaced. I get out of breath frequently when I ride and have gradually increased my minutes. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to following along with you all...
Ginger you are an absolute beast in all the best ways-- recovering from multiple surgeries and your Silver age and still working on your health is GOALZ for sure for me...Be my mentor!
I I actually do not have a ACL in my right knee myself and I always forget about it. I obtained a complete 5 degree tear while doing a fit run obstacle course in 2015-- and I have never had it repaired-- my doctors said it was not necessary for me to so I opted for just physical therapy-- I totally forget that I dont have an acl in that knee until I go to do out of saddle and I am hyper conscious of my "proper form"
I blogged (with wrtten words..) about tearing my acl here if you are interested.

New subbie here!! I was researching and looking far and wide for a cycle bike that would hold my weight! I’m so grateful that I stumbled upon your video!! This bike is far more affordable than the bikes that I was about to purchase!!!
Thank you for posting this. I'm built like you in this video and I just started riding on an echelon ex-3. It's inspiring to see that you rode for 100 miles in a month!
Wow so glad I found you! I’ve dusted off my stationary bike and moved it into the living room. I’ve been walking 10k steps a day but I live in central Fl and it’s way to hot to walk. Cycling is hard but my goal is 1 hour and I break that up through out the day. I don’t have a fancy bike but I’ve heard of modifications gadgets that I can get on Amazon to gage distance and speed. I’ll look into those. Thanks for the encouragement you did amazing!
I started at 278lbs in September and I’m now down to 242lbs from going to a pescatarian diet. Just ordered a bike to boost my weight loss moving forward. Your video has really motivated me, thank you 🙏
Update, now down to 224lbs 3 weeks later. This really works!
New subbie!You're an inspiration! I need to get a spin bike asap! Keep up the great work 😍
Yay! Thank you! What a sweet thing from a glowingly gorgeous new friend ;-)
You are so inspiring! I'm 57, quite overweight, and have bad arthritis in my hips and knees. My Hubs is also quite overweight, and facing knee replacement surgery at the end of this month. We bought a Recumbent Exercise bike yesterday, with a nice variety of workouts and plenty of different resistence levels. I know it's not spinning, but it's what I can do for now, and hopefully spinning will come in time.
You're an encouragement to me! Good work!!! I am waiting for my bike to be delivered soon.
Aw well you inspire me too!! Thanks for watching. I'd love to hear how your bike journey goes too!
Ms. Sharon V. I just saw this video tonight for the first time myself. I am truly encouraged by this video. She is a real person doing what we are trying to do. I just got my bike last week. I wish you the best. I have to lose 30lbs, for health reasons. Just wanted to share a word of encouragement.
@@greatfuliam412 Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Consider treating yourself to some spin shoes and pedals. It will make all the difference when you stand up out of the saddle also less risk of rolling your ankle. I have the same bike at home and this really enhances the ride. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tip! I have considered it- since you have teh same bike and you added the click in pedals can you give me a link to the ones you swapped out to? thanks
Yes please share a link
I also purchased the cyclace bike during Black Friday/cyber Monday and got a killer deal. I also didn’t want to buy a peloton or similar until I knew if it was something I enjoyed. I was doing great for quite some time especially after I got past the initial saddle soreness. Then I started longer rides and began having some tailbone issues. I have a new seat coming that is suppose to help. Looking forward to getting back on! Keep up the great work!
my longests rides have been 60 minutes--and yeah they aren't the comfiest but I have not had any tailbone issues- sorry you dealt with that hope the new seat helps- if it does share what you got so we know if the issue happens to us too ;-)
Good luck and GOOD JOB to you too!
I’m going to try this. I have to buy a bike. Thank you for sharing your experience
You've motivated so much. We both started at the same weight and I love spinning too, so I'm taking this as a sign I need to get back on it. Great job. I'm so proud of you.
You got this! Do you have a bike at home? Lets get it together!!
Thank you! Just ordered our FAUX Peloton! It will be here next week.
I am so glad I found your video. Thank you for your transparency and sharing it all (even the funny faces 🤗). CONGRATS on your weightlossI have a bike in my cart, but the reviews say with heavier weights the resistance goes out in a couple of months. Have you noticed that at all?
Thanks so much!
I personally have not noticed any issues with resistance on my bike. The only thing I have noticed is the seat shifts a lot now and is impossible to tighten due to over use of the tightening tool..so I may need to get a new seat, it hasnt bothered me enough yet to look into replacing it. Keep me posted on how your new bike goes :)
I’m actually gonna buy this bike because of ur video. U inspired me to start over. I at on time dropped my A1C and lost 60lbs in 3 months and then stress and life happened. I will be riding in the next couple weeks when my bike comes in. Thanks so much for ur inspiring video. ♥️♥️♥️
oh I so hope it is a good fit for you and you love it-- when it comes and after you are comfy with it- start your free trial on the peloton app and at least get you some free stuff for 30 days and let me know your thoughts on both!
Good luck-- you have done it before so you have the TASTE of victory---that will be very motivating-- I know it is for me.. that and the idea of renewing my wedding vows in a cute white dress on a Hawaiian beach for our 25th anniversary in 2025 ;-)
You have no idea how grateful I am to have come across your channel! I've been searching for people who spin that look like me! Thank you so much for sharing this! Looking forward to watching you achieve your goals, you're amazing!
Crystal..thank you soooo much. It was a lot of swallowing shame for me to post after I viewed it all myself, but then I just saud..screw it, you are DOING IT, YOU ARE FIERCE, there a thousands of other people JUST like you, let them see themselves...and we csn watch ourselves transform.
You Get it girl!! Keep me posted about your journey.

@@GerouxCrew Yes, I totally agree! I love that you pushed past that, because you truly inspire me! I'll definitely follow you, mine is: @somechicklosesit
I have tried one spin class almost 10 years ago and I'm currently researching if it's worth it to do. I have a great physique but terrible cardio and energy and your video helped me decide that I want to give it a try. You are damn lovable and have great personality and one lucky husband. I respect your determination and honesty about the faces you make which is also good to see. You are awesome
So inspiring!! I just found my love of the spin bike at the gym yesterday. I was so excited because I finally found a cardio machine that I actually like! I have A LOT of weight to lose (over 200 pounds), so finding the exercise that I enjoy doing is going to be key for me. I went a little over 5 miles today between 2 10-minute workout sessions, with strength training in between. I LOVE the idea of 80 mile challenge! I may have to try that for next month!
You go girl! You’re amazing!!! 😊💖
Totally helpful. I don't have a bike, but they have them in the room at the gym and I have been thinking about trying then again. Thanks for doing this video!!!
Thanks for watching Rhonda- your nudge has made me realize I really need to get my butt back on the bike and get back on this ride to better health myself. let me know how your first ride in the gym goes! Good luck ;-)
I just started spinning at home ... MAN LISTEN... You were in the zone. You did the damn thing!
thank you!
Over this last few weeks especially my form has gotten a ton better-- I am more steady and less "rocking all over the bike" and I can do 115 cadence without bouncing around like I am on some back woods road --maybe I will film some more clips for my next update video to see the difference--- I feel the difference so I assume I look a little different on there...
Are you enjoying spinning? Are you gonan try the Peloton app-- its totally free for 30 days!
@@GerouxCrew That's the blessing of starting at the bottom. Nowhere to go but up! 115 cadence is SUPERB. I'm nowhere near that. From my previous experience (long time ago) with spinning I don't bounce, and I can get out of the saddle for climbs but I'm living for the day when I'm doing 100+ cadence. Thank you for being so transparent and best of luck to you as you continue to press on and smash those goals. I'm rooting for ya sis!
Awesome job. Keep it up. Which seat cushion are you using?
Great job! I'm about to buy a bike for me and my daughter
You will have built in competition and accountability thats great
Just started my first day today. Only got to 30 minutes. But the standing kills me! Thank you for the video 💯
AWESOME! Just started spinning this month, I’m really inspired by your video. Hope you keep creating more!
Thanks so much Tracey!
You are in luck- I will be uploading a new video this week ;-)
Its cool to see the difference and realize all that I have learned about myself since the first video.
Good luck on your journey- keep me posted ;-)
I just bought a NordicTrack Grand Tour Pro. I can’t do spin, but I always loved riding the stationary bike at the gym and lost 38 pounds at one point just doing that and watching my diet (also not counting calories). Here I am 9 years later and 21 pounds heavier (242) than when I started that journey (221); older and way less for and more sedentary. You are so inspiring for me. Thank you for sharing your story and your results and for being real about it. You Rock! I wish you much success on your road to being healthy!
Thank you Jill :) I love the generic big seated stationary bikes at the gym when I jave a membership. You will have to let me know your thoughts on that one..I filmed a few at Costco planning to make a video with options for people and they sold out before I could post it lol...seems like a lot of peeps are building up their home gyms right now
I’m so glad I found this video and your channel. I’m about the same weight as you in this video and I actually bought the Peloton (with delays, scheduled to arrive mid April 😭). I can’t wait!!! Awesome job on your results! About to watch your Peloton app vid now!
Skrink1981 I am jealous--- as much as I say "I just cant being myself to spend that money" I do think I would love one it just doesn't make sense for me at this stage with my weight and also wanting a bike that my husband could use too---its funny that the bikes are made with weight limits that are in my opinion "low"---
Hey are you watching Peloton?? Do a redesign peloton and make a bike with 400-500 weight capacity so you can reach en entire NEW level of clients...don't be the lululemon on exercise equipment and cater only to the already smaller peeps...and maybe get some instructors that are different body types up on there too!!!
Ur awesome girl!! And those faces are those of a badass putting in work!! BTW I have That bike. I too could not bring myself to purchase a peloton especially because I’m a spin instructor and I know I’ll be back in the gym soon. So it’s good enough for home. Keep it up you’re doing great girl!
Baddass...I will wear that proudly.
I cry on the bike more times than Id like to admit..not discouraged crying..overwhelmed and proud of myself. It is hard and i get to hard back off..get bsck to hard..and keep that cycle going until my ride is done. Ebb and flow.i haven't had a ride that I just phoned in yet...i always get off the bike happy with the effort.
Do you post spin videos??
No ma’am. We’re not allowed to film in our classes. I guess privacy. Just 30 to 60 promotionals
I just got a spin bike for my birthday! I made it past 20 minutes today!!! The first day I only did 10 minutes! I’m sooo out of shape! You are an inspiration though!!!
Awesome I just started spinning myself , rehab to recovering from covid alot slower on my end as my lungs have taken some damage from the virus but I enjoy it. Building back my lower body muscles after been bed ridden with the virus for 3 weeks. Its been a week I already feel a difference in my chest as I breath and my legs when I walk . Wishing you the best on your journey you go girl!! 💪💪🦵🦵
Panda..wow you are inspiring, so glad you are recovering from what sounds like a bad case of c19. Turn on a scenic ride and a slow beat play list..slow rides are just delicious and sometimes can be harder and more satisfying than quick cadence ones.
Lets stay connected to keep encouraging one amother

Good for you! Keep up the hard work. I’ve been doing spin now at a studio for a year and a half, and honey, I still make faces like those sometimes. Lol. It’s the “don’t give up” face. Keep up the good work. It will absolutely pay off!!🚴🚴🚴🚴
aww thank you so much! I am glad that the faces seem to be a normal thing-- until I saw the slips myself had no clue I was making them---and when I have done spin in person I am so dang wrapped up in my own self I dont even notice other people so didn't know if others also showed their struggle so outwardly LOL
Just got my bike can’t wait
Very cool! So informative. Thank you for sharing. Keep going. Great job.
Thank you! i am so glad its coming off as helpful for many :)
I’ve been trying to get more into cycling and wanted a bike and this is the video I needed to confirm to go for it 😁😁😁💗 you did amazing!!!!
Glad I could help you tap into the motivation already inside you--- now get you a bike and lets ride!!! Thanks for watching ;-)
You’re my inspiration. I’m trying this tomorrow. Thank you.
Great job! I just graduated to a spin bike (Joroto X2) from my "around the neighborhood" bike. I need to get my cardio up and shed more weight. I was sweating BIG TIME the first day on the spin bike - lol. Now, I've combined my daily workout with a low carb diet. For me, the combination of the two is very effective for weight loss. Congrats!
We are following a "clean keto" basically paleo or whole foods style of eating. Both of our bodies seem to really be healing up inside from decades of poor choices
Not strictly keto but, no dairy and in the 25 carbs a day range and its been sustainable.
I feel good where my cardio is..now I need to get back to some strength training...that should really add progress.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good luck on your journey
Awesome job!💪
So glad to have found this video!!! I’ve been wanting to purchase a bike for at home to make working out that much easier. Do you like the quality of the bike? Do you feel as if it’s sturdy while riding both in saddle and out? As someone in a larger body I’m trying to find a bike that can support my size. I’ve been debating on getting this specific bike for a while now and I’d appreciate your feedback thank youuuu
I really need to loose weight too. & recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knee Dr of course recommended cycling so im thinking of getting a good affordable exercise bike Thank you for your videos! You are such an inspiration . Ive been having really bad pain in my knee to the point i had to take some time off work 😢
This was a very helpful video. I got mine this month and was super proud that my bottom stopped hurting. Also, in the beginning I could only do 5 minutes at a time and now I can get through 10 minutes no problem.
I love your video. You did an amazing job there. I got my bike in last week and am spinning once a day now. I love it so far. No movement on the scale either yet but I’m committed to keep on going.
Hows the saddle soreness going..are you getting used to it now? It took me about 11 days straight before I finally stopped adding a towel to the seat.
@@GerouxCrew let me tell you, that soreness is no joke. It’s really painful even with a towel. I’m so glad you brought that up because I thought I’m weird but luckily I’m not the only one. I’m happy to hear that it will go away after awhile.
Thanx Jessie! I'm looking to purchase a spin bike soon. That was encouraging. Trying to get back into my workouts, and that was the PUSH that I needed😘
Aww thanks so much, glad I planted a seed...can't wait to see it blossom:) please keep me posted on how your journey goes.
Insta j2tycoaz :)
@@GerouxCrew unfortunately I don't have IG😢
Clear voice, love your accent too. Keep up the hard work.
can I ask where you are from, no one has ever told me I have an accent, sooo curious what you would describe it as..thanks for the compliments
Hi. I am from South Wales (UK). Just a few miles from where Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins were born :--). Accents are rather difficult to describe of course. Yours is clearly 'American', however, without any 'sharpness' or 'high to low' then 'low to high' intonations which my ears pick up on with some (not all) American accents. Thats just me though, haha.
Yas girl you are killing it!!
Bang bang bang..here we go! Lets kill it together:) thanks for the compliments
I did the Peloton 'Hack' a little over a week ago. I am using the app and have been on five rides so far. I certainly like the look of your bike better than mine! I like what you said about just being calorie mindful because I'm 41, about to be 42 - I know me. I KNOW a 'DIET' isn't going to work. This month I've just focused on two things. Drinking more water and eating out less. Whatever I eat at home is == whatever. Basically - more trips to the grocery store and less trips to fast foo joints. That's it. I have not weighted again since a week or so before I got my bike. I was at my heaviest ever. 250. Like you I'm looking for an increase in stamina and basically....I gotta sweat every single day. Period. I already have high BP issues and my father has had heart surgery. And I feel like crap. There is no way this can continue. I can do better for myself. Thank you for this video - I look forward to watching your other ones.
i will be 42 in a couple weeks, we are sooo similar:). so glad you like your hack!
You are far ahead of me but I did 10 minutes yesterday. Slowly adding minutes. Keep at it. 😷❤️
Ginger-- I got my bike in late August and the first day all I did was SIT on it for a few minutes.
I should update with another video to share more details of my "first few weeks"
My first rides were all for "distance" meaning I was just trying to log 5 miles on my tracker---no matter how long it took---that first week I got off my bike every few minutes-- sometimes I collapsed on the floor to recover and then dragged myself back up on it--- until I did 5 miles. That might have been too much pushing it for others-- so not recommending it outright-- just sharing that I had a goal of amount of miles and didnt care about speed or resistance or how long it took me to get those in a day-- if I had to do 2 miles in the morning and 2 at lunch and a mile later sometimes I did that.
I worked up to staying on the bike for an entire 20 minute ride video with pausing of the video.
Then I worked up to entire video no pausing even
Now I am at staying on the bike for the entire 30 minute or 45 minute rides without getting off or pausing for recovery.
Its taken me almost 6 months to get to this point
Slow and Steady and its showing me progress so it WORKS. Good luck and congrats on your start!!
Amazing job! You're determination is inspiring. Aside from the weight lose, your non-scale victories are awesome. All the best on your journey.
thank you so so much- the weight loss is a huge benefit and the first thing that most people think an exercise routine is for-- but for me- its more about self care and I feel so good on the days that I do exercise I am changing my mind set to seeing my time intentionally exercising on my bike or on the apps somehow as no different than taking my vitamins and meds in the morning---its needed.
@@GerouxCrew YES! that is the 🔑 when your mind connects to it like any other self care routine you'll be golden. I did 10 miles on my elliptical & bike this morning. I've used 10 miles as my goal. I felt amazing after.
Congratulations! I'm proud of you. I love spin and miss it.
thanks so much!! I hope we can return to more normalcy soon-- or you are able to get your own at home bike to get back on it ;-)
Damn. You are a machine. So bloody impressive!
I'm crying over this compliment..prob rates in the top 100 one of the coolest things anyone has ever said to me list.
Thsnk you so much
Great job! You’re very inspiring!
Thanks so much Marie:)
This video is so informative!
I am also thinking of buying the same bike but the problem is with my height, I am 4'11 so I am not sure what to do.
Btw it's late at night and I was feeling sad cuz of my weight. But, thanks to you I feel so much motivated than ever before.
Tysm ❤️
Keep grinding 😄
I have been so behind on my emails and getting everyones comments- I am sorry that you had a low moment the other night but you know what you went online and sought out positive things and that is a HUGE task for lots of people sometimes-- to recognize an emotion and to then pick intentional activity of some sort to make a change...you are rewiring your brain little by ittle when you make those positive choices- You should get a bike-- if your finances are in a place that you can get one right now I feel like 4 11 would be fine on the bike I ride I am 5 foot 2 (and 3/4) and I feel like there is still plenty of reach for my toes...are you longer legged or torsoed?
good job keep going
Thanks! I don't know where all the views on this video are coming from this week-but I am here for it!
I bought a cheap bike off of Amazon and I used the peloton digital app.. saved so much money
Awesome who is your fav instructor
You go girl!!! Do you have any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? My knees hurt after each class.
Are you doing out of saddle stuff? Ie standing if yes CRANK the resistance way up and go slower until your leg muscles start recognizing that tgis is what you are doing..they will start developing around to strengthen the area and should start to feel better allowing you to either start going faster or lower resistance...pay attention to form..i will see if I can link to someone that talks about proper alignment . Just do not push yourself too much...when seated..dial back resistance and cadence and then work back up once your body catches up to where your brain wants it to go lol.
Caveat..im just a fat girl with an amazon bike telling you what MIGHT WORK not a medical professional;)
@@GerouxCrew IDK why that didn't occur to me. Common sense lol. I'm on the same boat. Overweight with an Amazon bike. I need to be patient and listen to my body. Thank you so much ! You're such an inspiration 💕
@@kellycorona9282 focus on using your glute and core muscles when Petaling instead of using your legs. Use your butt and gut lol
Just ordered a bike, I loved this video 😊
If peloton is still doing the free app trial when you get it..do it!! Im loving using the peloton app on my phone or on my firetv stick!! Let me know how it goes for you :)
@@GerouxCrew unfortunately the app isn’t available in France, I was originally going to get the peloton digital subscription but I can’t 🙁 hopefully it comes to France soon !!
@@jessicamiller3075 Oh man I didnt know this! That is a huge bummer--- wonder why that is
Nice workout room
What seat cushion do you recommend?
thanks for the motivation
Any time! thanks for watching!!
Love all of the marvel action figures! Keep it up!
thanks!- My adult son (who will likely always live at home due to autism) collects those so we decided to display them in our home workout room so we are inspired to be strong like super heroes
Your making great progress
Thank you!- I have mini goals in mind that I want to achieve when on the bike and just last week I finally got all the way through an entire song that had out of saddle and high cadences and I did the ENTIRE SONG completely as called by the instructor--- all the standing parts-- and in the cadence ranges too which I am really proud of!!
@@GerouxCrew I got my bike last week and it's kicking my butt. Lol, but I I'm loving it so far.
You are a rockstar. Congrats
Thanks bunches!
GREAT JOB !!!
thank you!!
Do you use any cycling training apps like Zwift?
I have never heard of that one- is it free and on andrioid? I will look it up!
Genius idea. Saved all that money
Woot Woot!
Well done 👍
Thank you 👍
Just got my new cycle bike up, haven’t moved in a year so taking it slow.. starting at 335. here we go.
Yes!! You got this!!! Slow delicious low resistance low impact...yum! Some of my favorite movement on this body of mine..enjoy it!!
Did you upgrade your seat?
Sort of, I added a $20 memory gel seat cover that I picked up at Target :)
Any bike recommendations for obese beginners looking to lose weight and improve cardio?
HI dillsthrills - the only things I could recommend would be things I have tried which are limited--
My bike is this one:
Cyclace Exercise Bike Stationary 330 Lbs Weight Capacity- Indoor Cycling Bike with Comfortable Seat Cushion, Tablet Holder and LCD Monitor
smile.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.account.AFI5VSQDQDIM7FNHUYFWOUBQD42Q/13T4C2LI6CLSB?type=explore&ref=idea_cp_vl_ov_d
Other bikes that I have used in the past are the large commercial gym ones that are found at gyms--- not the spin bikes the tall regular stationary bikes or the low recumbant ones.
I feel like I lucked out that I like the one I did buy off of Amazon- because I went to several sporting goods stores in person to sit on different bikes and didn't like the feel of any of the ones I actually sat on
I will say I also really like row machines-- they are really good for in my opinion full body cardio- I know me as a bigger girl my legs are used to carrying heavier weight so really do well in propelling me in rowing so that the upper body part is true cardio effort---when I was able to go to the gym I loved doing my weight sets, then rowing for either "time" ie beat myself in my head or for 15 minutes right before a YIN restorative yoga class and then just melt into the mat---I lost a lot of weight doing that 2-3 times a week. (I went from 280 to 217) (we vlogged some of our previous weight loss success a couple years ago if you want to see any of the older videos on here..found ourselves back at square 1 a few months ago for various reasons ;-) and the same strategies are proving still successful, albeit it maybe a little slower this time. Determined to not quit this time. Good luck to us both!!
@@GerouxCrew Thank you so much for your detailed response. Just ordered mine. Onwards and Upwards, hopefully. Once again thank you for the tips. All the best.
Congratulations keep going well done
I appreciate that you watched and paused to encourage me- thank YOU
First I want to say that you're beautiful I meant that not in a sexist way but as a person. You doing a Good job keep it up! I've started riding a month ago and watching what I eat as well and feeling great.
Thank you so much- as awkward as it is to just graciously accept compliments I am sure it is hard to say them as well--so I appreciate the nice words ;-) Good luck on your rides and I hope you have great success in your journey too!
@@GerouxCrew No, it isn’t hard to say nice things to try to help motivate someone The world will be a better place if we all try to do the same. Good luck 👍
Good for you 😊😊

I'm looking for a bike with a comfortable seat. How's this ones seat?
The seat is as decent I added a gell pad cover that I got at target and that really helpes..the first 2 weeks I sat on towels for extra padding until I got used to it.
@@GerouxCrew thank you!!!!
I just started and omg my bum hurts!!! I need a new seat! Any suggestions?
It took about 3 weeks for my lady parts to adjust to saddle soreness..I folded a hand towel a few times and sat on it until I bought a gel seat cover at Target...I dont notice it any more at all.
@@GerouxCrew thanks so much for replying! Can’t wait for it to feel “normal” 🤣
@UCSOgMx0icbiwwDKelZSfgVQ thanks I’ll look into it!
how do you figure out the resistance with peletons
You will want your resistance totally "off" at the beginning of any ride--like zero turned all the way to the left or counter clockwise --totally slippery spinning-then slowly turn the knob right or clockwise until you feel the very first sense of "drag" on the wheels and that is what I use for my own personal baseline of zero or sometimes they call that "flat road"
I am no expert in bike resistance but for my own self I have determined that 1 quarter of a turn on the knob on my bike (a cyclace) is equal to a 1 or 10% depending on what is being called out...so if they say be at a 40-50 resistance I will have a full knob turn for 40% and an extra quarter turn to 50 and so on... so if the knob was a clock a quarter turn would be from 12-3 if that makes sense.
I am actually going to try out my best friends peloton and see what it really feels like and see if I have been close or way off...once I do that I will let everyone know lol
Good luck!!
I have the same bike thanks to the other video I watched of you 😁 and okay I’ll try that out! Thanks and can’t wait for the update. Someone sent me a paper for peleton conversion but I’m like uhm lol!
I also tell siri to start indoor cycling workout and it helps and easier for me when keeping up with time!
Nice bike
Thanks ✌️
I don't spin but this past summer I bought an exercise bike with moving arms on Facebook marketplace and I am trying to that 30 minutes a day.
That sounds great! I scoured offer up and fb market while looking for something too. It was during that run on at home gym equipment so there was not a lot offered. I did the bike with arms at the gym when i beeddd a change of scenery and really liked it! Keep me posted on how its going :)
@@GerouxCrew I will thanks 👍.. ditto

Any update on your health journey??
I can film something this week with an up date.
I am down 26 pounds since September.
September was my "on" month and then holidays happend and I mostly just walked dogs and did a handful of rides.
Im back on the bike a bit more regularly now.
I am currently using the peloton app as it was free for 2 months. I REALLY like it alot. I use a ton of different workouts on it, walks, bodyweight, stretching, yoga etc.
I posted a review of the Peloton App and my 6 month update if you want to go check it out ;-)
The best way to lose weight is calorie deficit.
I had success counting calories but found I got too hung up on numbers.
I am intuitive eating whole clean foods and not counting anything. I might check a label to find sugar or carbs to decide if I want something that is not a whole raw food.
So far so good on this side and it feels way more sustainable for our lifestyles and personalities.
But yes, science says energy out being more than energy in should result in weight loss.
