1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,583
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:08,950 --> 00:00:12,156
- 2020 has been a crazy year

3
00:00:12,156 --> 00:00:14,900
and the blows keep coming and coming.

4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:16,070
But working out

5
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:18,437
and getting your heart rate going is such

6
00:00:18,437 --> 00:00:22,650
an important way to de-stress
and manage your anxiety

7
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:24,230
through such a difficult time.

8
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:25,922
As the colder months arrive,

9
00:00:25,922 --> 00:00:28,421
and it is just harder to get outside.

10
00:00:28,421 --> 00:00:30,285
It is more important than ever

11
00:00:30,285 --> 00:00:32,440
for us to find something that we can do

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,795
at home that allows us to
feed our fitness beast.

13
00:00:36,795 --> 00:00:40,020
One of the most popular
home fitness equipment

14
00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:42,680
during this pandemic has been Peloton.

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,906
Recently, they released a new bike called

16
00:00:44,906 --> 00:00:48,400
the Peloton Plus that has been redesigned

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,740
to give an even more premium experience.

18
00:00:50,740 --> 00:00:52,790
I've been lucky enough to test it

19
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:54,210
at home for the past month.

20
00:00:54,210 --> 00:00:56,250
And here are some of my insights.

21
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:58,010
One of the things that I liked the most

22
00:00:58,010 --> 00:00:59,530
about the Peloton Plus is

23
00:00:59,530 --> 00:01:03,070
that you don't just have
to use it as a spin bike.

24
00:01:03,070 --> 00:01:04,260
There are many other types

25
00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:06,810
of workouts you can do using this machine.

26
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:08,800
And unlike the original Peloton bike,

27
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,554
you can actually flip
the very large screen

28
00:01:11,554 --> 00:01:14,827
and do a ton of other workouts facing it.

29
00:01:14,827 --> 00:01:18,420
Having a machine that allows you to do

30
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:21,760
a full body workout is really important

31
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,950
at this time when we can't go to the gym.

32
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:27,320
Another great thing about the
Peloton plus experience is

33
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,696
that it really hones

34
00:01:28,696 --> 00:01:31,048
in on this aspect of community.

35
00:01:31,048 --> 00:01:33,286
And it's a really good way to recreate

36
00:01:33,286 --> 00:01:35,520
the social component of fitness

37
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,370
that I think a lot of us
are really missing out

38
00:01:38,370 --> 00:01:40,338
on now that we're all alone at home.

39
00:01:40,338 --> 00:01:43,766
Stationary bikes have been
around for a really long time

40
00:01:43,766 --> 00:01:47,159
and there are tons of
other options on the market

41
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,223
but I think what makes

42
00:01:49,223 --> 00:01:52,080
a Peloton Plus worth paying for is

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,203
that you're getting a really beautiful,

44
00:01:54,203 --> 00:01:58,415
seamless design oriented
experience when you buy it.

45
00:01:58,415 --> 00:02:01,730
One of the things that the
Peloton Plus bike offers

46
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:03,800
that the regular bike doesn't is

47
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,700
that it automatically adjusts to

48
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:07,570
whatever workout you've chosen.

49
00:02:07,570 --> 00:02:09,967
So if you're going up a hill for instance,

50
00:02:09,967 --> 00:02:12,292
it will automatically set the incline

51
00:02:12,292 --> 00:02:14,890
so that it feels like
you're going up a hill.

52
00:02:14,890 --> 00:02:16,570
This means that you can focus

53
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:18,680
on your experience as you're riding.

54
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,750
You can focus on your breathing

55
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:23,185
on your posture instead
of trying to figure

56
00:02:23,185 --> 00:02:26,070
out what your instructor
is asking you to do

57
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:26,903
with the machine.

58
00:02:26,903 --> 00:02:28,830
The Peloton Plus bike would have seemed

59
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:32,230
really outrageously
expensive to me before.

60
00:02:32,230 --> 00:02:35,220
But now I think it might
actually not be such bad value

61
00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:36,053
for money,

62
00:02:36,053 --> 00:02:38,998
especially if many people
in my family are using it.

63
00:02:38,998 --> 00:02:41,955
We are all still trying to figure out how

64
00:02:41,955 --> 00:02:44,518
to live our lives in this strange period

65
00:02:44,518 --> 00:02:48,383
in history when it comes to
fitness and everything else.

66
00:02:48,383 --> 00:02:50,920
I think that the Peloton Plus is

67
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,450
a really good way to get a good workout

68
00:02:53,450 --> 00:02:55,780
at home while experiencing the kind

69
00:02:55,780 --> 00:02:59,021
of community that you used
to experience at the gym.

70
00:02:59,021 --> 00:03:01,487
But if any other cool products come out

71
00:03:01,487 --> 00:03:03,360
that I think will be a really good fit

72
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,530
for you guys,

73
00:03:04,530 --> 00:03:06,230
I'll be here testing them for you.
