Our Favorite internet find this week:
Jaime’s Peloton Schedule
After having the bike for over 2 years, I realized I wasn’t taking full advantage of all the programming Peloton offers and wanted to get a more total body experience. Having no clue where to begin with expanding my workout routine, I turned to the interwebs to find a weekly schedule as a guide to help me explore new workouts. Here is what I found (including my own tweaks and suggestions) that has kept me on track for the past couple of months and is giving me some decent results so far!
Sunday: 30-minute Sundays with Love or Groove Ride - I usually just end up doing whatever 30-minute ride speaks to me that day (which is usually Cody, if I’m being honest).
Monday: 20-minute Arms and Shoulders + 10-minute Core Workout - I sometimes switch up the arms & shoulders for a chest & back or more general upper body strength.
Tuesday: 45-minute ride using intervals (Live DJ, Tabata, or HIIT & Hills) - I don’t know about you, but 45 minutes is a LONG ride for me, so I started doing a 45-minute Bike Bootcamp instead which I find much easier to get through.
Wednesday: OFF (Zen in Ten Meditation)
Thursday: 15-min HIIT ride + 10-min Full Body Strength
Friday: 20-minute Glute & Legs Strength + 10-minute Core
Saturday: OFF (10-minute Glutes & Legs Stretch)
Our favorite instructors/classes:
Molly: Denis Morton (80’s ride!), Becs Gentry’s core/strength for runners classes
Jaime: Cody Rigsby, Robin Arzon, Anna Greenberg for yoga
Hannah: Leanne Hainsby
Madison: Tunde Oyeneyin
Haley: Ally Love

Copycat Sweetgreen Kale Caesar Salad - DIY the best Sweetgreen salad at home!
Simple Homemade Chicken Ramen - Ever since my son had to go Gluten & Dairy-free, cooking has been a challenge. We’ve discovered so many new loves, including his passion for ramen! I have to do special rice noodles for him and the rest of the fam gets classic noodles. This recipe is delicious and I recommend doubling or tripling as it is only portioned for 2. We roast veggies and throw in baby spinach for some extra oomph.
