playlist title: your melody - my comfort songs <3

description: dedicated to @soonshuas <3 - my emotional support comfort human being <3 (and the "parasite to my stomach" - you said you wanted me to say this, so here it is) i said that i'd make you a playlist, i didn't say in what format though <3

hi n !! <3 this pales in comparison to what you did for me, but i wanted to make you something. i probably overhyped this a lot, but i hope you still like it ;-;

my thought process was this: my main grievance with spotify playlists is that i can't explain all my song choices in the playlist !! i think they should add that feature btw i also said that i'd make you another playlist, so here we are. below are not reasons per se, as to why i chose these songs, but moreso the vibe i feel when listening to these (mainly bc i'm not eloquent and i can't form coherent reasons) <3 also hehe i chose my favourite lyrics as the captions for them <3 mentally, these are the songs that play in my head whenever i speak to you bc you’re so !! comforting !! the epitome of comfort <3

track no. 1: 舞い落ちる花びら (fallin’ flower)

[15:05] riding your bike home with peach blossom petals falling around you. you can tell that spring is coming, the warmth of the afternoon sun being indicative of that. there is still a chill seeping through your skin as you ride on the bike path, a reminder that winter is still there. a reminder of your past. a bittersweet memory sweeps your mind as you ride, the petals falling more rapidly as a breeze rustles through the trees. the peachy glow from the sun, making it seem as though you were looking at the scenery through a rose-tinted lense. that was what the memory felt like. a lost love, someone you never thought you would fall for. the memory of that relationship had become bittersweet over time, but one day your rose-tinted lense would dissapate. one day you will see full colour again <3

never thought i would want to fall for someone, i met you, and i realised that everything has a reason.

track no. 2: falling for u

[12:27] the comforting scent of coffee beans wafted through your senses as you entered the cafe, friend in tow. their crush, a friendly barista at the university cafe that your friend had now deemed worthy of visiting after realising this. had they noticed that you'd come in here every day? had they noticed with the incessant pick up lines your friend had dropped on them every time after you picked up your coffees. better yet, had they noticed the $30 tip you had left, every single time. you had noticed the way their eyes had lit up, glazing over you and always pausing on your friend. you had noticed the way a light blush had dusted over their cheeks every time your friend had flirted their way into conversation. finally, you had noticed the way, without fail, their number had been scrawled underneath your clueless friend's coffee cup every single time, bitterness aching at your heart as you forced yourself to smile and grin, encouraging your friend to talk to their crush more, reassuring them that it was not a futile attempt. it wasn't your place. you couldn't and would not do anything to stop this. after all, they were the protagonists, not you. you were the wingman. that was your place. falling for you - three words. three words that were both meaningful and meaningless at the same time.

should i talk to you or not? i thought for a while, the thoughts keep getting tangled in my head.

track no. 3: snap shoot

[11:53] multiple rounds of mario kart, snacks strewn across the floor (literally all the junk food you could scavenge from your cupboard), bickering with friends over who should play next, and holding fake grudges over whoever had won that round. playing round after round of just dance to deduce who should wash the dishes. just pure contentment and memories filled with laughter and friends.

bring newness to every day, draw this moment with your light.

track no. 4: ひとりじゃない (not alone)

[02:38] turning on a comfort playlist after a long day and sleepless night. the hollowness in your heart subsiding as particular lyrics came to mind - soft, melodic reassurances filling your mind as the comforter you had cocooned around you warmed your heart, and protected you from any worries. you didn't feel alone. the music was there, wrapping you up tightly in a big, and comforting hug.

in my memories when i'm looking for you, i can say with all my heart that i'm not alone.

track no. 5: pinwheel

[20:28] sitting on a ferris wheel alone, the crisp night air whisking through your hair, nostalgia and longing residing in your mind as you thought of them. they were gone. that didn't mean that you didn't miss them. it was moments like these that made you think of them. they - who could have left your life without a trace, but instead left mementos etched into your heart, making the heartbreak of losing them worse. there were nights like tonight when you thought of them coming back. you would accept them wholeheartedly. but that option was out of your grasp. a thought is purely a thought, afterall.

even if you get lost, and it takes you a while, come round and round, back to me.

obviously you don’t have to do it, but I was wondering if you could do something with the reader being a singer, & releasing the song 34+35? like what would tom’s & his friends/family’s reaction be & a song inspired ending ;)

combined w this request: Omg super loved that Nasty imagine🥵If you can make a another one? Where its inspired by 34+35?😩🥵💕Thank u!

(”a song inspired ending” sent me btw) this focuses more on the smut

the album had released a few hours before you had gotten to tom’s house and tom being the good boyfriend and number one fanboy he is, had listened to it as soon as it came out. now he loved all the songs, you were crazy talented and he loved whatever you put out. but that second song––

hearing you sing so bluntly yet oh so softly about how you wanted him to fuck you all night? huge stroke to his ego––and his cock. he found himself smiling as he listened to the lyrics, nodding his head along to the beat. admittedly throughout the whole song he was questioning the meaning of the title. but when he reached the end and heard means i wanna 69 with ya––he just about lost it.

his mouth dropped open and he replayed that part several times just to make sure his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him. he shook his head in disbelief, a grin spreading on his face. he couldn’t wait for you to come home.

when you finally made your way over to his place you felt your heart burst when he was still listening to the album, despite having posted about it hours prior. ‘can you guess which song is my favorite? 😜’ he captioned as he recorded himself listening to it and immediately pressing replay when it ended. harrison and even harry had posted about it as well, jokingly teasing you while complimenting your work.

harrison had posted a video of himself dancing to the second song of the album on his story, captioned ‘i feel like i shouldn’t have heard this, but it still slaps. sorry mate @tomholland2013′

harry had posted about the song as well, saying ‘😳 i won’t judge what you both do in your free time, but the song is a banger, well done mate @y/n’

when you walked into tom’s house 34 + 35 was playing on his speakers and you couldn’t help the butterflies you felt in your stomach as you saw him approach you.

“i guess you like the song, huh?” you asked teasingly, a smile on your face as you wrapped your arms around his neck, leaning up to kiss him.

he pulled you into him eagerly, fingers digging into your waist, “s’been on repeat for hours.” you smiled into the kiss and he walked you backwards into the bedroom, quickly ridding of your clothes once you got there.

“been thinking of that message you left me in that little song, love.” he trailed kisses along your neck, mumbling into your skin and you couldn’t help but sigh contently as you tilted your head to give him more access.

“hm what message?” you asked coyly.

he pulled away from your neck, licking his lips and you felt yourself clench between your thighs at the look in his eyes. “think you know exactly what i’m talking about, darling.”

he stepped away from you and you almost whined out at the loss of his touch. your eyes followed him as he climbed onto the bed, laying down in the middle, his head on the pillows.

he looked over at you, a glint in his eyes as he stroked his cock. “get up here. wanna taste you while you put your pretty mouth on me.”

you climbed your way onto the bed, and stood up, trying not to let the way tom’s eyes were hungrily sweeping over your body get to you. turned around and got into position on your hands and knees and tom’s hands were quick to slide up from your thighs to your ass.

he grabbed you and pulled you closer, burying his face into you from behind and you gasped at how greedy his movements were, his tongue tracing it’s way through your folds as his hands pulled you into him for more.

he slapped your ass and you looked back, despite not being able to see his face. “fuck tommy––”

you turned back around, your hand grasping his member and he groaned into your heat, making you shudder slightly. you licked along his shaft before swirling your tongue around his tip, spreading his precum as you stroked him. you could feel his abs tensing under you as you lied on top of him, your breasts pressed up against him. you felt more connected and open than you ever had before.

tom was really giving himself to you, barely acknowledging his own needs, making obscene noises behind you as he yearned to make you cum. hearing you sing about wanting him to take you all day had really gotten to him and he was craving the taste of your sweet release.

he wrapped his hands around your upper thighs and pulled you even closer to him burying his entire face into you, his nose rubbing against your wetness as his tongue massaged your clit. he was making a mess and he didn’t mind one bit.

“tom––fuck!” your grip loosened on his cock, your mouth popping off of him as you breathed through your mouth, your lips lazily mouthing at his base.

he grinned sinfully into your heat, continuing his motions, “come on love, give it to me.” he sucked on your clit hard and your legs trembled, your arms and legs struggling to keep you upright. he left kitten licks on your clit and through your folds, drinking up all you had to offer and left soft kisses on your ass as you settled down from your high.

you crawled off of him slowly and he switched places with you, positioning himself between your legs as you lied down in his spot. he brought his hands to your thighs, spreading you open for him. “want me to fuck you now baby?”

you nodded, biting your lip. “please.”

he wrapped a hand around his base and slid into you, loving how loud and wet your pussy was thanks to his previous work. “god you’re so perfect for me––” he leaned forward and thrusted into you as you wrapped your legs around his waist, pulling him into you.

he picked up the pace, only now realizing how needy he was since he was focusing on you before. your sighs turned into moans as your back arched into him, your hands gripping his hair as you brought him closer, your lips grazing each others.

“you want me to put some babies inside you, lovie?” a cheeky grin on his face as he pounded into you, referencing the song.

you nodded, looking up at him teasingly innocent as you moved up and down slightly on the bed with each movement of his hips. “want you to fill me up, baby.”

he grunted, “shit––” his hips drilling into you as he rubbed your clit mercilessly, wanting you to tip over the edge with him.

he leaned forward, desperately rutting his hips into you and your legs clenched around him. the both of you moaned out together, panting as his thrusts slowed down, his hips hitting yours as he released deep inside of you. you leisurely and slowly kissed each other, taking your time to enjoy each other and catch your breaths.

he pulled away slowly to look at you, his hand coming up to rub your cheek softly as he smiled down at you, his cock still throbbing inside you. he licked his lips laughing breathlessly, “hi baby.”

you laughed, turning your cheek to kiss his palm before looking back up at him, “hi.”

“so i think we should do that whole 69 thing more often.”

“oh yeah definitely––”

Hi I don't send asks bcoz my English is not good so bare with me 🤧 but I see lot of Vm shippers thinking Vm's suddenly stopping vlives has something to do with their romantic interest in each other and i was also confused but then I saw this tarot reading i don't believe in these things but it made sense to me u should read it it's on Tumblr search for "bangtan all day" then search "Vmin tarot reading" and it really explains what was going on between vm in 2016/17/18. Btw i luv your blog ❤️😍

First of all, I do not believe in tarot reading and the reason is this. These days, there are a lot of fake people who will mislead others for their own benefit. They will tell you what you want to hear as long as it gets them more views and likes on you tube or on their blog. I have read lots of tarot readings about Bts and the funny thing is that not a single one of them drew the same conclusions. They always have different meanings especially when it comes to shipping.

Take for instance now, you will ask one tarot reader if Taekook is real. They will tell you that they are and that they have been in a relationship for years and have been hiding their feelings from the public. At the same time, ask another reader if jikook is real and they will tell you the same thing that they have been in a relationship for a long time also. Same thing with Yoonmin and other pairings. So what is the truth? There isn't because there are a lot of biasness. People just want to believe what they want to believe so these people tell you what you generally know but will twist it in a way that makes it look believable.

It is very few that might be actually legit but those few come from older more experienced tarot readers. People with many years of experience. Yet even with that, the outcome isn't a hundred percent sure because human beings are very unpredictable.

Ultimately, I do not believe in tarot readings especially when it comes to human emotions. I'd rather take a look at a situation and critically analyse it. I rely a lot on others interactions, my senses and my feelings rather than on what someone else says about a group of people they might not even know. They can say a bunch of things and people will just buy it because they desperately want to believe it. There are so many predictions especially when it comes to shipping.

I just read the post which you where talking about and I'm not really surprised because it's something i had already deduced even without reading a tarot card or something. if you are very observative and you take a look at vmin's relationship, trace their history, you will notice how things gradually changed between them. How there was an awkwardness between them from 2016 till 2018. And then you will ask yourself, why is this friendship of theirs so complicated?

We will roughly examine Vmin's history and check the possibility of them developing feelings for each other. Let me remind you, i mentioned possibility meaning it's not a certainty and so, we'll start from the beginning.

We all know how their friendship began. High school best friends who did everything together. Went to school together. They where basically inseparable. But then, they got into a kpop group with six other boys whom they where already acquainted with.

Where things going to remain the same between these boys? Definitely not. Things where going to change. They where going to find themselves drifting apart from each other whether they wanted to or not.

Taehyung has always been a social butterfly. He likes meeting a lot of people and trying out new things. It was due to this that him and Jimin even became close. For a while, they had each other and probably Jimin was so used to getting Taehyung's attention. In 2014, Taehyung posted a pic holding hands with Jimin. The caption on the picture was let's keep going for a long time, i only have you. If you ask me, these are very strong words. It basically means that no matter what happens, your bond with each other will be unbreakable. You'll be friends for ever. The person whom such promise is made to will never forget it. We are sure Jimin would never forget that. They have both used strong words to describe their relationship with each other.

"You are more than a close friend. You're my savior so you are very precious to me" Jimin 2015

"Jimin gives to me an existence that only a unique best friend can only have. When I'm full of worry, Jimin's answers give me strength. Recently, I was in a song writing trance and talked to Jimin about it for two hours. He's the warmest person I've ever met" Taehyung 2019

But their friendship wasn't perfect. They often fought. Jimin could attest to that. I don't have the clip here but Jimin personally revealed that him and Taehyung had once fought in the park but they eventually made up immediately after because they find it difficult keeping grudges with each other.

Moving forward, 2016 was sort of like the breaking point for BTS. They started to get more recognition with hit songs such as Blood sweat and tears, Fire. Their horizon is broadening. Things where bound to change for all the members of BTS. It was also around 2016 that Taehyung starred in a drama series titled Hwarang. During filming, he developed a very strong friendship with the rest of the cast popularly called Hwarang. Over time, they bonded and Taehyung began to hang out a lot with them.

There is something i want to add here, Jimin no doubt felt jealous during this time not only because Taehyung was hanging out with other people. There was one more important reason why i think he was upset. Now, Jimin had hyped up Taehyung's drama series showing his support for his friend such that there was a time Yoongi even made fun of him because of that only for Taehyung to begin professing love for his Hwarang hyungs.

Jimin and the rest of the members where upset about it but Jimin took it especially hard and Taehyung found it funny at the time. Jimin's anger was the fact that Taehyung always said I love you to the Hwarang members but never to Bts. It probably left him feeling like Taehyung didn't value them as much anymore. Taehyung responded that he felt awkward saying such a thing to Bts because he considers them as his family. Here's an interview vmin had in 2017. If you read the excerpt below, you will find that this indeed caused some of rift in their relationship.

Now, here is where i think something happened. Because Taehyung wanted to try new things didn't mean that he was getting bored of being with Jimin. He had just always been someone with a big heart who loves having a social network around him. Jimin has been well aware of this. He knows what Taehyung is like but then, i guess Jimin started feeling like he had to be a priority in Taehyung's life thus things probably started to happen. Probably, Jimin wanted him to be more affectionate. Taehyung starts getting stuffy due to Jimin's clinginess. They probably argued a lot over this then the push and pull thing started. Taehyung starts getting confused and decides to become independent from Jimin to give himself space from him. Jimin is the type who tries to mantain peace. He might have tried to ignore the tension going on but Taehyung can't do that which causes a strain in their relationship. Why i do believe this might have happened is because these two don't just see each other as only friends. They see each other as being more than that so therefore they take each other very seriously and they would definitely get into lots of arguments when they feel one of them is taking their friendship for granted. You can see this from one of BTS interviews but then again, they where asked this same question some time later. We can see that Vmin's answers are totally different from the previous ones which clearly showed that there was a change in their relationship.

2016 marked a change in vmin where they probably started to realize that their relationship wasn't just the normal one. They had to determine what it was they really wanted. Taehyung was probably more affected by this than Jimin which could be why he was the one who decided to draw a line between them. This had nothing to do with Big hit or the other members. It was just between vmin. Probably, the other members where even unaware of what was going on. I want to add here that Jimin later released his first solo song later that year titled lie and when you listen to the song or listen to the lyrics, you will get the feeling that Jimin was in pain, trying to run away from a never ending cycle of torment brought about by his lies. (I have an analysis of this one). Spring day was released around this time also and i also have a feeling it involved vmin. I think the death of Taehyung's grandmother sort of recovered their bond. Jimin was really a comfort to Taehyung at this time.

2017 seemed a better year for them. Though the group started getting busier and more popular, you would notice a change in the relationship between vmin. They started getting more expressive in their feelings. The hand holding, the I love you handsigns began. The hugs and clinginess. Take a good look at vmin isac in 2017 and you will understand what i mean. Totally different from their past behaviors in previous isac.

They obviously patched things up between themselves. Their relationship improved for a while. but the vlives and the selcas stopped. They also started doing independent things, having their separate group of friends.

There was still a boundary between them. However, it was also at this time that they started to release songs. Taehyung began with his song 4: o'clock which he released with RM and that song was inspired by a feeling Taehyung had when he was waiting for Jimin at a park. Serendipity could be about vmin but it wasn't a song Jimin wrote by himself which is why i'm a bit confused about it but there was some element of his own emotions inside. However, when the music video got released, i was a bit convinced that the song had something to do with the relationship between vmin (i also have my own analysis about this) It was at this time that they took up the representation of sun and Moon as depicted in DNA, serendipity by Jimin, singularity by Taehyung. Let's not forget Taehyung's bon voyage letter to Jimin and how he cried so much signifying that they had both gone through a lot in their friendship. Jimin's response to it clarifies the whole thing, even when he added that no one else not even the members would understand why Taehyung cried except for him or how Jimin himself felt after reading Taehyung's letter. The trip helped them to understand their feelings for each other. Pretty deep if you ask me. Watch the video for your self and you'll understand what I'm getting at.

However, 2018 was where a big challenge set in. Their popularity skyrocketed to the max. All eyes where on the group both locally and internationally. They all started to get more and more separated from each other. Their private lives was intruded upon especially due to their documentary burn the stage: the movie where they had to constantly be recorded. They also started to have separate rooms whenever they lodged into hotels. I guess it was at this time they all started having their separate apartments. They weren't together all the time like before. Much was demanded from this group and this affected Jimin a lot because he talked about the feeling of loneliness he was experiencing at that time and Jimin isn't someone who can stay alone. According to him, he couldn't rely on the other members because they too where going through the same thing he was going through. It was also at this time Jimin started to write his own song promise. It was the first song he had personally written. He revealed that the song was about himself but there where clearly two characters in that song. Jimin and an unknown person.

No one would have thought that the group was considering disbanding at that time. It wasn't until 2019 when receiving their dasaeng that Jin revealed this secret. We can only imagine how bad things where for them to consider disbanding. It was also at this time that Taehyung's grandfather died and it was also here that we see the closeness and bond between Jimin and Taehyung especially during bon voyage Malta where Jimin did everything he could to comfort Taehyung. I think the death of Taehyung's grandfather sort of restored their bond. Jimin was still writing promise around that time. When the song released, he revealed that at first, the song was a dark song but later, he found it difficult to complete it because things started to get better in the group. Are we starting to see the pattern?

On October, Taehyung revealed the Christmas song he had wanted to release with Jimin but which was eventually rejected due to the lyrics. Things had improved so well between them that Taehyung wanted to sing a song with Jimin and when he couldn't do that, he couldn't help unburdening his anguish with Army. He was clearly upset about it.

Jimin released promise as a free song on sound cloud meaning it was a song he sang from the heart. It wasn't for his personal gain. What was strange was that Jimin released promise on December 31st Taehyung's birthday. He released it exactly after midnight and guess who took the pictures for promise cover. Taehyung himself. Are we still seeing the pattern? Exactly one month later, Taehyung released his own solo titled Scenery on January 31st and on listening to the lyrics one will get the indication like he's trying to woo someone. Jimin was particularly hyped about the song that he accidentally spilled about it even before it's release. On August 2019, Taehyung also released his song winter bear. Plenty of indications also point that the song is about Jimin.

Anyway, 2016 till 2018 was a challenging time not only for Vmin but for the rest of the members but it was a challenge that was necessary to create a better bond between Vmin as we can clearly see in 2019 and even from the beginning of this year. The love and affection between vmin is obvious. There are still challenges but i think they have learned over time on how to deal with their differences. Like I've said before, I do not believe that they're dating but they know how they feel about each other. They are aware of that but there are priorities and it's just going to be weird and uncomfortable for everyone involved if they give in to such feelings.

This is just my own speculations concerning the relationship between vmin. I don't need a tarot reading to clarify this much. Though, it's only a speculation, we have to admit that it sort of adds up. This is only a general take on my opinion concerning Vmin and the possibility of a relationship between them so it's not really an analysis. Anyway i enjoyed writing this and if you're interested in hearing my thoughts on vmin, do let me know and thank you so much for liking my blog.

I am sure you have been on Social Media and seen an ad pop up for Peloton which is why I decided to write my Peloton Bike review. First and foremost let me say when my husband started eyeing this bike around January of this year I was skeptical.

The considerations

For one, he already had a bike which he wasn’t using and when I looked at the price tag of the Peloton I was shocked to say the least. Then he informed me there is a monthly $39 subscription you want to have because without it, the bike really won’t be used at full capacity.

After thinking about it and hearing my husband talk about it I agreed to getting one. It arrived in March 2018 and I suspect, to get me to buy in even more, my husband bought me cycle shoes that clip into the Peloton pedals.

We did not purchase everything Peloton such as the water bottles, dumbbells, foam roller, earphones or shoes but we do have a few hoodies and t-shirts because they are cute.

[Tweet “Read all about my #Peloton bike experience and whether you should get one. #pelotonride #femmefitalefitclub”]

Price

I started off balking at the price of a Peloton bike which is around $2,300. That is not easy for many to swallow but they do have payment plans which is a plus. That price is only for the bike. In order to enjoy the online Live and On-Demand classes you need the monthly subscription which is an additional $39.

As you can see it can add up. Again, if you can move past the sticker shock they do have payment plans which can ease the cost burden on some.

Classes

There are hundreds upon hundreds of classes available with the subscription such as cycling (of course), running, and yoga to name a few. I am extremely impressed with the amount of classes offered beyond just cycling.

Class durations vary from 5 minutes to 60 minutes and you can filter on them or also by:

class type,

instructor,

music genre or

category (hard, new, most popular, etc.)

Please note, all of the classes are not children friendly. In certain classes the instructor may use profanity or the lyrics to the songs played aren’t the clean version.

If that isn’t your cup of tea, no problem, they have classes with all genres of music from Country to 80’s Pop to R&B. Choose what you like, there’s a lot of variety so you are bound to find something you enjoy.

Community

One thing I like a lot about Peloton is the sense of community they provide on Social Media. They have a private Peloton Page group for Peloton users and each instructor runs their own private group.

People share their personal records with each other, post tons of photos and are very helpful and encouraging when questions are asked by newbies such as myself.

The Peloton app

The app is where you access all the classes unless you have the Peloton Tread. It allows you to build a profile and share the classes you completed to Social Media. You can also follow friends there.

While I like and reciprocate a follow for a follow on the Peloton app there isn’t much else there when it comes to socializing. BTW follow me at Diatta. You can’t message each other but you can see how many rides or activities they completed and the amount of rewards they’ve collected.

The Peloton ride

The Peloton rides are HIGH ENERGY even the ones for beginners or low impact. If you’re riding a live or on-demand class, you can virtually high five others who are participating in the class with you. There’s a bunch of Live and On-Demand cycle classes to choose from as far back as 6 months so pick a class and enjoy yourself.

During the rides there are a lot of features as well such as viewing your heart rate, if you wear a monitor, viewing the artist and song title playing and the leadeboard.

The leaderboard is where you can see all those who ever took the ride, where you rank and who may be riding with you at the same time you are. You can also see how their output compares to yours which, if you are competitive, can help you push beyond your comfort zone and hit a new PR.

Instructors

I can’t say enough about the Peloton instructors. I have not even come CLOSE to taking them all because there are a handful which play the music I like so I tend to take their classes over and over but from Robin Arzon to Ally Love to Alex Toussaint you really can’t go wrong.

Some of the instructors also teach multiple disciplines such as cycle, boot camp and running. I like the versatility of its instructor team. Each instructor as their own unique style but I’ve found they all keep me interested and motivated during the workout.

All positive attitudes, all smiles and very attractive people, can’t go wrong there. Many even shout you out on Social Media.

I’ll leave the Instagram names of the ones I follow below. All you have to do is click on the photo and follow them.

Quick question… What is your actual motivating factor? 💫 What I mean is, what is the root of your motivation? What is feeding your desire? Is it Soul or is it Ego? We say yes to so many things yet possibly never ask ourselves often, if ever, why? Why are we doing things that don’t always feel right or are what we need or want, or can afford just to keep up with the joneses. We say yes to dinners, coffees, meetings, trips, clothing, buying trendy items, moving, relationships, and of course exercise. If I took a poll asking you if they actually enjoy working out, would you say yes? If not, why do you workout? So, you lace up to run. 🏃🏼‍♀️ Why? Do you run to look better or because you actually love the feeling of running? That runners high, that accomplishment of completing a task, a claimed moment of your day that’s device-free 📲 and simply yours, a necessary mental break and “you time”, a treat for your body, a method to focus your competitive spirit, a way to spend time with friends? Is your choice to move initiated by positivity or by a feeling of negativity? When we choose to move because we hate our bodies we run the risk of disappointment in achieving a goal that is never good enough in our heads, never mind the fact that the entire time you spend getting to said point you’ve carried along a negative motivating factor with you into a positive space! How will you create love ❤️ where you bring hate? Both are green, just depends which grass gets watered. Let today be the day we change our approach to the things we do. Approach work, friendships, partnerships, and your personal relationship with yourself with love and see how fast you mind and world starts to change. When we do things that feed our soul instead of our ego the end is no longer in sight. The sacred relationship with yourself will begin to improve, fast…. be sweet to yourself, and don’t be afraid to find your truth. Dig deep and look for the reason you actually are doing the things you do. ______________________ #createthelove #truth #rksolid #motivation #tuesday #train #trainpeloton #traintuesday #transformationtuesday #transformation #abs #run #running #workout #ego #soul

I feel that I’ve become more empathetic/understanding in my years spent in NYC. The truth is… the struggle is real… I don’t know anybody who hasn’t fallen flat on their face at least once here. I’m speaking from experience: when you fall flat on your face here, you don’t just fall, you get trampled over 10 times, kicked in the ribs, and then splashed with 20 buckets of icewater. “WAKE UP” she tells you! It takes a resilient, strong human being to peel themselves back up off the ground after, and find that hustle again. It takes a champion… My city is full of champions. BLESS you NEW YORK CITY. #newyork #hustle #champions

When I started

When I first started on the Peloton bike I had trouble clipping in. I struggled. Hubby tried to coach me and I was trying my best but could not clip those shoes in to save my life.

He sort of had to half wear my shoe and clip them in for me and then I put them on while clipped in to the pedal. I know I know but I’m much better now.

I also struggled clipping out. A few times I just left the shoes clipped in and went on with my day because my legs were too tired to try and/or I was catching cramps. OUCH!

After the first 4 rides, 4 days in a row my butt stayed sore even though my husband had a cushion on the seat. It’s just the nature of the beast. It gets better as I no longer get sore since I’m riding my regularly now and I’m 24 rides in (woohoo) but my butt can get numb if I sit too long.

I remedy the problem by standing when that happens.

What kept me interested – FRIENDS

Once I found some of my friends actually owned Peloton, and we started following each other, we would schedule when we would take the same classes either live (which start early in the morning East Coast time) or on-demand (which are available all day long).

That made it very fun for me because we could see each other’s results and it felt like we were together even though we were states away.

They do have a neat feature where you can click on the person’s profile during the ride and click Live Video and actually see the other person riding LIVE. I did that once with a friend who lives in North Carolina and it was very cool.

It was during a live class. I thought that was very cool.

The other classes I’ve taken

Besides cycling, I’ve also taken the strength training and tread classes which are very good. The strength training tends to last about 10 minutes (at least those are the ones I chose) but they have longer classes. I just never had time to do more or go longer.

The tread classes

The tread classes are excellent and what got me back interested in Peloton to begin with. I typically run on my own treadmill and mirror the class from my iPhone 7 to my Apple TV flat screen so I have the big screen and speaker experience.

Feels like I’m actually in the studio with them.

We do hills, sprint drills, combinations and all sorts of things which really keeps the heart rate up and the fat burning which is what I like. They even have walking classes for those who need a recovery day or can’t handle all of the pounding from running.

I’ve tried a few of those and believe it or not, those are very challenging too. As you can imagine they crank up the incline.

So far there hasn’t been 1 instructor or 1 class I didn’t enjoy. I’ve gotten up and worked out completely tired and not feeling it but once I hear that peppy voice and motivating quotes and words…it’s on. I fix my attitude and get into it.

What could be better

I honestly can say there aren’t any suggestions or recommendations I have for Peloton at this time to improve upon. Granted I was having issue connecting my heart rate monitor but found out it was my error not theirs.

It’s a very innovative company and I look forward to some new products and services they come out with.

My rating

As if you could not tell, I give Peloton 10 out of 10 stars. There are programs for every fitness level which I love, there are various types of programs by music genre and duration which offers up options for people who have the time or have limited time.

They’ve thought of everything. The instructors are positive, attractive and motivating. They also shout out people riding in the studio or at home during the live rides which I find extremely thoughtful.

I can’t thank my husband enough for having the vision and thought to purchase this awesome package of equipment and classes which has taken our at-home workout game to the next level.

I enjoy it very much, plan to ride more days on than off and highly recommend you research and consider getting one for yourself.

Perhaps we can ride virtually together in a live or on-demand class and push each other further. To quote several of the instructors “You ain’t hustlin’ if you ain’t strugglin’”. Let’s GO!

Are you interested in purchasing a Peloton?
