I made it a goal in 2020 to improve my health and it has been hard work, but worth it. In March we purchased a Peloton bike and during Covid it was a life saver. Since March 24th I have completed a total of 757 workouts on the Peloton platform and spent 12,331 minutes making myself a healthier person.

352 Cycling
200 Meditation
72 Strength
68 Yoga
53 Stretching
8 Walking
3 Running
1 Cardio (this just confirmed how uncoordinated I am)

Now it is time to start planning for 2021!

Tough ride to start the day

Today I attempted the toughest ride on the Peloton platform. A 45 minute Tabata ride. A Tabata ride is basically 20 seconds of cycling as hard as you can with a 10 second break to catch your breath. This morning I did 56 of these.

I did struggle about 1/2 way through the class, but I finished strong!

Sunday

We fall. We break. We Fail. But then… We rise. We heal. We overcome. We rise. We heal. We overcome.

I have been having a tough time recently and I haven’t spent much time on the bike so I decided to spend a few hours on the bike this morning. The highlights of the classes were the 30 minute Sundays with Love and my first ever bike boot camp.

Of course had a few kitties around to join me…

Morning cycle

This morning I decided to get out of the house and go for a cycle to Clermont. I took off early to beat the heat and people! I can’t believe it is 9 am and I am done!

Bike ride

Last Saturday I did the Think Pink bike ride for breast cancer. It was a tough ride- there are definitely some hills in Florida!

Bike Ride

Sunday was my first organized bike ride. We drove about an hour to a town called Inverness. It was very low key with a start time between 7:30 and 9:00 am and you could chose any distance you wanted up to 100 miles (we rode 34). This was my longest ride so far and I did ok.

We followed it up with a local breakfast and the Hen House. The food was your good old small town food and definitely needed after the bike ride!
