Losing Weight On Peloton

But I’ll be completely honest with you, my Peloton weight loss journey has been VERY hard work and isn’t based on indoor cycling alone.

I took serious control of my health over the past 3 months and focused on moving my body and fueling it with nutritious foods after someone very dear to me suffered a stroke.

I actually started riding the bike again about three weeks before when I was diagnosed with trochanteric (hip) bursitis but this scare made me turn it up a notch.

If you’re interested in reading about a fitness journey that I’m pretty proud of, I hope this may be the inspiration you needed to start on your own 🙂

I’ve had my Peloton since 2019 but after two miscarriages and a fourth full-term pregnancy, staying motivated was a bit of a challenge.

When I found out I was pregnant for the fourth time in May 2020, I was just starting to work out regularly with the bike and had lost 35 pounds by combing a keto diet with regular Peloton spin classes.

My husband and I both went keto in October 2019 but it wasn’t until around February 2020 that the two of us started hitting the bike five or six times a week.

So, I took some photos to remind myself of how hard I’d worked to get fit and knew I’d try again after our second baby was born!

September 12th, 2021 is the official day I decided to focus on my health again – I know because that’s what Noom shows me in the app!

I Used The Peloton And Intermittent Fasting For Weight Loss'

I swear I’ve been seeing these weird ads of picturesque vegetables and side-by-side food comparisons telling me to guess which one is 200 calories for about two years.

Now because I have a 10-month-old (whose nap schedule is currently all over the place) and a very active and playful 4-year-old, I have to do A LOT of planning to get my workouts in daily.

So, as long as you maintain a calorie deficit between a healthy diet and exercise, working out with Peloton classes can definitely lead to weight loss.

Peloton Before And After 1 Month Vs 80 Days (leg Transformation Pics)

I’ve been riding consistently for three months and riding the bike alone hasn’t given me abs – or improved the look of my mummy-tummy!

I hadn’t been able to wear these Lululemon dupes in months – they fit like a size 6/8 but are marked as a size Medium on AliExpress.

Excuse the drool stain in the right photo – I tend to put my workout clothes on just before I get my baby down for a nap!

How I Lost The Baby Weight Again

There’s a difference of 9 pounds between these photos – I definitely noticed the weight loss slowed down after 2 months but my body did start to show some definition.

I’m wearing a size 8 Lululemon tank on the left with size Large shorts (can’t remember what brand they are but like most of my favorite finds, I got them at Costco).

On the right, I’m wearing a size medium GymShark leggings and a sports bra – they fit similarly to size 6 at Lululemon.

Peloton Weight Loss Journey: How I Lost 32 Pounds In 3 Months

I’ll add more Peloton before and after weight loss pictures to this post at 4, and 6 through 12 months later once I’ve reach these milestones 🙂

But in my personal experience, working out on my Peloton Bike ONLY wasn’t enough to get the kind of results I’m seeing now.

I love the positive energy here – hardCORE Peloton users really want others to win and the transformation posts you see are incredibly inspiring!

The following workout plan is the one I’ve been trying to stick to since about 1 month into my Peloton weight loss journey.

One day in the middle of the week and one day on the weekend suits our family best – we really enjoy spending time outdoors and/or running errands together on Saturdays.

I still try to meet my daily goal of 10, 000 steps or 1, 000 calories burnt through movement on days off as well.

Peloton Workout Plan Without The Bike

While scientists have found that early morning workouts are linked to improved mental health and productivity for the rest of the day, taking the time to exercise is important regardless of what time you do it at.

Some days, I manage to get an entire hour-long workout in while my youngest naps, and on others, I’m running to get her 15 minutes into a spin class and running back down to strap her into her Nuna Leaf with a snack so I can finish the second half of my class!

Then, there’s the odd time that my husband’s home and I get to workout baby monitor free – it’s such an amazing feeling to workout without worrying about when your baby is going to wake up, haha.

Mom Who Combined Peloton And Ww Shares Fitness Tips For 2021

Snacking on empty calories while I prepped healthy fruits and veggies for my oldest daughter and dinners for my husband, was a bad habit I began to do more and more after my second daughter was born.

Now, I make a better effort to focus on eating in the morning (I used to skip breakfast daily) and choose foods that are high in protein.

Because no matter how many potato chips, pieces of dark chocolate, or cups of coffee you have, you won’t satisfy your hunger without good nutrition.

Quick Tips To Get Weight Loss Results With Peloton

My husband often teases me for treating the grocery store like a library but if there’s an ingredients list on the product, I like to study it before I bring it into my home.

We eat plenty of fresh foods in our home and I try to start my mornings with a banana before I workout and a fruit salad with a Vega protein shake afterward.

I love Carbonaut bread – each slice is just 80 calories and packs 6 grams of protein AND 6 grams of fibre!

Daily Peloton Workouts Helped Me Lose 100 Pounds In 6 Months

I look forward to coming back and revising this post as I progress in my health adventure and I wish you the best of luck in starting yours!

You probably won’t see results overnight (I know I didn’t) but if you keep at it and commit yourself to healthy habits, there’s not telling just how much you can accomplish.My first introduction to Peloton was when a few people started joining our program and mentioning that’s how they heard about us. I didn’t have a clue what it was. I would see “Peloton group” come through on the ‘how you heard of us’ section on our signup form and I assumed it was an at-home add on to regular cycling. 

Then I did a little searching. Wow. This thing is major and there is a huge community of people buying these bikes to lose fat in addition to getting more fit and healthy. If you aren’t familiar with Peloton , picture an in-home spin class with a well-built bike, awesome instructors, a tight community, and some of the best technology in the fitness business. You can see why this company is valued at over a billion dollars. It checks all the boxes…except one and it’s to no fault of their own. Giving people the results they want. 

Ask Dr. Renee

I already mentioned it’s not the Peloton’s fault per se, but something is responsible. So, what is it? Well, it’s the same old problem every exerciser faces and literally the reason Stronger U started. To be the sidekick to great workouts and give people the results they deserve. In this case, fat loss.

If you’re working out hard and you’re not seeing the results it’s most likely food-related. The elephant in the room that accounts for the other 95% of the day you don’t spend working out. That’s what we’re going to address here and leave you with some practical tips so you can get the most out of your workouts from this point on.

Calorie outputs are estimations based on power, your weight, time, and a few other factors. Calories burned estimates aren’t a perfect science, and while that science might be improving, the estimates of how many calories you burn while exercising can still be wildly off base . It’s best to think of the calories burned number on your Peloton, Apple Watch, or any other piece of tech as a generalization. 

My Peloton Bike Review + January Weight Loss Update

Beyond those numbers being a general estimate, it’s important that we recognize that exercise in itself isn’t a weight-loss tool. It’s a health tool. Can working out consistently help with weight loss? Definitely. But the help it provides typically comes from helping us stay motivated to eat well, sleep regularly, and be more mindful of how we treat our bodies. The more quickly you can start exercising for the health and wellness benefits instead of the calorie benefits, the better off you’ll be. And chances are you’ll enjoy your workouts even more because of it.

“I have had a peloton since 2014… I even tried to workout 6-7 days a week with NO weight loss. I kept thinking I’m killing it and I ate pretty healthy too. Until I met stronger U I never had any weight loss. I assumed I was doing enough. Bottom line is there was more fat (avocados and olive oil) and calories in the food that I ate then I wanted to
