Never done an Alex ride, but I know people who swear by his classes. Power Zone rides have all request playlists (at least the 60 minute classes), so the music choices make no sense. 

Feels like we need a Peloton thread.

Oh alex is the best. Have to like hip hop but i am always smoked at the end of his rides 

Before covid for almost a year I was doing 2 circuit training classes here at work in the gym the owner leases out.  It was during work, and it was free, so it was a no brainer.  The trainer did make some modifications for me, cause I'm old and getting more fragile by the day.  Now that they are back open, the one trainer is an anti masker, so no thanks.  Plus, no free classes anymore I'd have to sign up and pay.  I have a small weight bench and a small rowing machine at home.  Haven't been using them much, but reading this thread has given me slight motivation.

we all see what you did there. 

This is about the only time I wish I was an alcoholic like the rest of you fogtags so I could at least have an excuse for the excess weight I'm carrying. No idea what the situation will look like when I get to MN next week (between gyms being open/closed and the hotel I'm staying at likely having their facility shut down), but hours of free time, isolation, and nobody to spend down time with will give me plenty of opportunities to exercise if I can just get past the laziness factor.

Tired

Luckily I’ve gotten into kettlebell training and have been able to rent kettlebells from the small kettlebell club I go to and take many home. Actually feeling healthier than ever between that and running since start of pandemic. Just not much else to do anyway so that gives me something to accomplish a few times a week.

yah brah! All my sheet got packed up yesterday and the movers come to load it all onto a truck tomorrow morning. Will begin my drive Sunday (sleeping over in Chicago) and then arriving this upcoming Monday.

And just this past Friday they passed a state-wide shutdown for a minimum of 4 weeks. Gyms, theaters, etc. etc. are all closed. Additionally, all dine-in is closed for all restaurants. So I will be living in a hotel, on a daily food per diem, that will have to be used exclusively for take-out, and if gyms are closed the hotels fitness center will 100% be shut down as well.

So that'll give me a minimum of 3 weeks of probably be near-permanently isolated in a 450sqft (guessing?) room... sweet!

be less poor. 

For those of you like me who lead a solid middle class lifestyle, you can get a decent spin bike for $500 off of Amazon, put cadence sensors on the pedals, and connect them to an iPad and just use the Peloton app.

The good thing too is that for awhile your suggested feed on Amazon will show you a lot of reasonably priced polo shirts.

Good luck on your move Agent23.  I missed it -didn't you just buy a house?  You're moving because of a job opportunity?

What I do when at home working and there's absolutely no one here, I count how many hours I go without speaking a word.  It can be maddening, or I can look at it as resting my vocal cords to one day become a great singer!

Is it too early for a cocktail?

I'm catching up on some self study CPE today.  Was a good morning for a wake and bake.  Ironically I lost 10lbs since I got my medical card a year ago.  Less booze will do that.

Nice.  So true.  I gave the gummie form back to my niece (she's a cancer patient-16 yrs!) so I haven't had any sort of edible here for a long time.  Would explain how I got back on gallons of wine to get to sleep.  Thanks for the recipe>  I did keep for future reference.

 

Sorry Bill, only in WU does a fitness thread go astray. 😄

The Cresco GG#4 RSO will just about take any pain away.  I'd imagine that would be great for cancer patients.  Certainly helped my insomnia.  Basically puts me in an 8 hour coma at night.

a fitness thread turning into a drinking/weed thread is the most emb thing ever.

Ordered my squat rack, adjustable bench to go with my 400lbs of weights, bar, Air Assault Bike, and kettlebells. 

Crushed front squats with a drop set of 275x6, 225x10,135x20 at the gym yesterday
