We've had the Peloton here for awhile, but I haven't been interested in touching it. But, the outrageous gym fees are just starting not to be worth it with all the covid protocols--it's just no fun doing HIIT in a mask.

Peloton, though--there's just so much content. Have no idea where to start, but I'm the type that needs the structured workouts/plan.

I've heard good things about the Peloton, I just didn't want to spend that much. I have a nice Giant rode bike and bought a trainer for it, it works fine for my purposes. Also have an older bowflex that I use occasionally, but usually just use dumbbells for some muscle toning (curls, bench flys, etc.). I don't want to get "big", just more tone. And yes, just losing 12lbs has helped me. I can wear 32" jeans and shorts that I couldn't 3-4 months ago. Of course a lot of my jeans and shorts are 33", so now they are all loose, but oh well.

I stopped drinking any kind of alcohol for 90 days - and as much as I LOVE a good beer - I don't think I'm ever gonna go back. I lost about 15 pounds solely from cutting out the booze, but that only scratches the surface as far as benefits I've seen.

I never considered alcohol to be a problem, as I only drank occasionally, but my god everything seems to be so much better after a couple weeks off the sauce. I never realized how good I could actually feel: I think so much more clearly now, have much more energy, very productive at work, workouts are better, just feel better in general. All aspects of life seem to improve significantly. Turns out that I've been missing out on this for quite some time.

I wholeheartedly encourage anyone on here who questions their relationship with alcohol to give it a good go at stopping for at least a few weeks. I promise you won't regret it.
