I don't recall ...it was probably before I got a spin bike. Can't beat the low-zero impact intensity of a spin bike for arthritic knees for cardio. And using it in a circuit instead of a step is a nice twist!
Very nice twist:) I must confess,I am excited to see Cathe offering an on-off cycling circuit.
More upcoming goodies coming.

spinning is literally zero impact. Variety is great and I am grateful for being able to do both step and spinning.

Let's not forget some can not spin for various knee problems.

Cathe, I hope you will do another Cycle Circuit # 2 class like this down the road, same
time frame, 40ish minutes with the same cycle/weights time ratio. with different upper
body combos, etc….This was so much fun & a new & different workout to have in the
library!
 
I love that Peloton offers Boot Camps on the bike, tread and row. They mix it up with upper body, lower body and full body classes as well as just core. They also have 50-50 classes. First half on the equipment, second half strength. Another good option if you don’t like making lots of transitions.

The circuit format was a nice change! Hoping she does a lower body and core too.

What are the transitions like? Are they seamlessly layered to keep the heart rate high? The workout has to remain realistic
I have never tried peloton bootcamp but I know some of workout enable exercisers to change shoes - - - from bike shoes to normal. I am wondering about those breaks.
 
The changing from bike to floor and vice versa, IMO, seamless. Off bike to get weights
and put weights back to get on bike. No wasting of time, No changing of shoes, Cathe keeps everything standing & upper body because she notes that some people may be in the clip-in shoes. Of course, your lower body is getting a workout from cycling.

I used to have the Peloton app, and used their different Bootcamp classes. I stopped with the app a couple
years ago for alot of different reasons. Just turned into workouts I didn't enjoy any longer. Different strokes
for different folks! :)
 
I think Cathe's venture into this type of workout was "spot on"! Honestly, there's not one thing I could comment
on that would be negative in this workout.

Cathe stuck with upper body so there was no need to change shoes. Peloton does give you time to make the switch since the instructors are doing the same.

There is so much variety and over 60 instructors these days. I definitely have my favorites. Can’t beat the music for me! Especially with cycling or cardio classes where it keeps me motivated.

I still prefer Cathe for strength.
 
Maybe even bike and barre (with balance discs).
That is a great idea. it reminded me of mindy milrea ;):D
