Monday
Feel-good ride
20–30 min
Choose a beginner-friendly or low-impact ride with music you enjoy. Focus on consistency rather than speed or resistance.
Movement & wellness routine
You already ride three times weekly and walk an hour on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We don't need to reinvent your routine — we make it more engaging and sustainable when outdoor walking becomes difficult, and build on your daily meditation and church attendance.
Peloton workouts for the colder months
Wednesday
Scenic or themed ride
20–30 min
Pick a scenic ride, favorite-artist class, or themed playlist. Make it something you look forward to after a busy day.
Friday
Choose-your-challenge ride
20–30 min
Try beginner intervals or low-impact endurance. Choose the music and difficulty, and increase intensity only as comfortable.
Make indoor exercise fun
- Create a personal Mayor's Power Playlist with five to ten favorite songs.
- Try a weekly artist series or themed ride.
- Use a leaderboard or streak goal for personal motivation, not comparison.
- Add two short strength sessions weekly, if appropriate for your fitness level, to complement cycling.
- Keep Tuesday and Saturday walks when weather and safety permit. On poor-weather days, substitute a 20–30 minute indoor walk or comfortable low-impact ride.
Your schedule should remain flexible. If a meeting disrupts a planned workout, a shorter session is still a useful way to maintain the habit.
