Recap: Peloton Class in NYC Studio

It's always good to do something new and push yourself out of your comfort zone, right? I think so, particularly when it comes to fitness.  Recently my sister and I took a day trip to New York to take a spin class at the Peloton studio in Manhattan.

If you don't know what Peloton is just google it real quick. It's a fitness company that is taking the world by storm. Originally it was just a bike but it has grown to a bike, numerous classes, and a treadmill. My sister has had a peloton bike for about a year and she raves about the workout. It's fun, entertaining, and -- above all -- challenging. So when she asked if I would go with her to NYC for a class at the studio of course I said yes. What can I say, I'm a sucker for new experiences!

 So I guess let's jump in. Here's a recap of the Peloton ride!

Welcome to my passion project, my online space where I share all things life. After a few unfocused yet still-failed attempts at increasing my fitness activities and shedding some pesky extra weight I decided to incorporate fitness as a component here on my blog. I hope it will hold me more accountable since it's out there for the world to see. So what is my "why" you ask? Have a seat -- let's get to know each other.
