How and When to Use Peloton Workouts
One of the many things our clients love about the FASTer Way to Fat Loss lifestyle is the flexibility it provides. And not only when it comes to nutrition—the FASTer Way is flexible enough to incorporate your favorite workouts, too. A common question we receive is if clients can still enjoy their Peloton workouts in the program, and we’re excited to let you know that the answer is YES! Read on to find out how and when to use Peloton workouts in the FASTer Way to Fat Loss.
Matching Your Workouts to the FASTer Way Macro Cycle
If you’re familiar with the FASTer Way, you know we’re big on macros (or macronutrients) and we practice a 7-day macro cycle that strategically pairs workouts with our nutrition for maximum fat burning. While the FASTer Way program and VIP Membership include workouts that can be completed at home or in the gym, you can absolutely opt to get your sweat on using your Peloton instead!
We suggest swapping out your FASTer Way workouts for the Peloton on low carb and active recovery days. High-intensity Peloton trainings are perfect for getting your heart rate up on low carb days, while a longer, more relaxing ride is a great option for active recovery days when your muscles need rest.
Why Strength Training Matters
While we certainly love the Peloton as much as you do, the awesome workouts lack a strength training component that is absolutely necessary in developing lean, calorie-burning muscle. Try to avoid using the Peloton (other than for a warm-up or cool-down, of course) on strength training days and instead follow along with the given FASTer Way workouts to really maximize building muscle that will leave you feeling strong and lean.
Are you intimidated by the idea of incorporating varying workouts into your lifestyle? Don’t be! The FASTer Way provides workouts for every fitness level and plenty of low impact modifications. Many clients come to the FASTer Way with no experience in working out and end up falling in love with the FASTer Way lifestyle. We demystify Intermittent Fasting, carb cycling, and whole-food nutrition so you can live a healthy lifestyle that you LOVE.
“Ooooooo!!! This post makes me incredibly nervous. Be kind y’all. 😱 That girl on the left was exhausted, not sleeping well, having lots of indigestion & heartburn, feeling winded after the smallest amount of physical activity. She was scared of how bad she felt, and worried about where she was heading if she didn’t make a serious change. That was me just 3.5 months ago. I was ready for change, but the very last thing I wanted was another unsustainable diet.
Thank God for Amanda Tress and the FASTer Way to Fat Loss! I’ve found a new way of eating and working out that has literally changed my life.
Not only am I focused on whole food nutrition, but I’m working out on a regular basis. This girl is doing sprints… you heard that right, SPRINTS!! On top of losing (at last weigh-in more than a month ago) almost 30 lbs and more than 25 inches, I have loved what I’m learning about how to fuel my body for a lifetime. I am not deprived and I’m eating ALL THE CARBS & FATS!!! I’ve loved it so much that I interviewed, was selected, studied and passed my exam to become a certified FASTer Way Coach!! Y’all, a health and wellness coach! I mean, LIFE CHANGED!! And now I’m on a mission to help others begin their own transformation.”*
