Hi everyone! Happy June.
This Saturday we will be taking this 45 min Sweat Steady Ride from 10/05/2019. Older Sweat Steady classes (2019/2020) tend to be more challenging then recent classes. The difficulty level for this class is 8.7.
This playlist is another one of Jess’s eclectic mixes featuring Death Cab for Cutie, Walk the Moon, NIN, Disclosure, Diplo, Busta Rhymes, TV on the Radio, Barry White, etc.
Use our community hashtag #RedditRiders so we can find each other and if you’d like to make friends, drop your leaderboard name below!
How to join the group ride: Join the class on-demand at 9:30 am et DO NOT join a session. Why not a session? We like to give riders the option to join a few minutes early or later without them missing any workout time. This give everyone a little wiggle room to join.
If you have any suggestions or feedback for me, feel free to include them in the comments. We hope to see you on the leaderboard!

Hi everyone, hope you all enjoyed the break! Below is the 12th PZ training program I have put together for Reddit. If you are new to PZ training, I have some more info about that in the thread for program #1. If you are looking for FTP test advice, see this comment I made in week 8 of a previous program. There is no need to actually "sign up" for the program, simply follow along with the program starting next week.

The program will run for 9 weeks total, and I have given a recommended ride schedule of 4 days / week. Like the previous programs feel free to alter it in any way that you need. If you want to do 3 rides, cut out the Wednesday ride. You are welcome to do additional rides, but I would make sure that they are easier than what I have programmed below. I.e. adding more 45 / 30 PZE, or a fun ride, just keep the intensity lower (i.e zone 2/3 max). Proposed ride days are again Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, but you may take the rides on any day and in any order to fit your needs. Feel free to make any changes you feel necessary. If you are not feeling it on a certain day / week, listen to your body and take it easy. If you do not want to repeat a ride you have taken before (or just want to replace a ride), replace it with a ride of a similar or lower TSS score.
Anyone may join in including experienced riders or beginners. PZ rides are designed to be at your current fitness levels. I will try to answer questions anyone has. I will post a weekly accountability / discussion thread on Sundays (with the schedule for each week) and use that thread throughout the week for general discussions about the rides or whatever you want to talk about. Disclaimer that I am not a professional trainer or anything like that. I just really like PZ training, and this is a schedule I put together for myself (and for anyone else who wants to follow along).
We do group rides for the Saturday rides at 10 AM CST.
The program will start on Monday, June 5th. Add the hashtag #redditPZ if you would like to. Hope to see you all on the rides.
Below is both the class link, and a link to the graph of the PZ ride on home fitness buddy. (Along with estimated TSS scores) The graphs on home fitness buddy also have a direct link to each class now.
TSS (training stress score) is basically a measure of the stress put on your body from the ride (numbers listed are an estimate using the duration and intensity of the ride). Basically, the higher the number, the harder the ride. A 1 hour at your FTP that would be a TSS of 100. A 30-minute ride at your FTP would be a TSS of 50.
Since people always ask, there is no need to actually sign up or post anything. Simply follow along with us starting next week!
We now have a discord if you want to join.

Based on last week's feedback we will continue with this format rather than switch to a traditional "Split" program. If anyone is interested in a split instead I would suggest using the three benchmark classes (see previous posts for the others) as your split and adding that day's core to it.
Welcome back to week one of eight of the Reddit Strength program. I hope you've all been enjoying it so far. If you're brand new to this or missed any previous weeks, this is something you can jump into any given week you don't need to have been there week one for it to work. This strength schedule is designed to help you progress from one weight to the next (if that is what you want, you are of course free to maintain the weights you use as well). There is a #RedditStrength for those interested in joining it.
This is an eight week cycle that repeats. Each time we come around again I'll be looking for a couple newer classes to replace some of the older classes previously used.
Each class will list "light" or "heavy", this is not to be confused with the Light/Medium/Heavy weights instructors ask you to use for each move. What it means is, lets say you normally use 5/10/20 but you are hoping to level up to 10/15/25. When my class says "light" you would use your 10s when the instructor calls for medium weights and when my class says "heavy" you would use your 15s for the same move. This will help us to progress to where the 15s are your new normal.

Extra Credit

Benchmark: Every 2 weeks (unless feedback is you'd prefer every 4) we will repeat these classes to measure our progress. Do everything you can in these classes (similar to an FTP test for PZers). You can measure yourself any way that works for you; number of reps, weights used, or just how tired you feel afterwards.
Extra Credit: These are extra classes for those who want more work than the standard schedule. They are also good substitutions if for any reason you don't like a class or instructor on the schedule.
You can stop reading here unless you want to know why I am scheduling what I am scheduling.
The basis is a 4 week progression. In each body area we will use light weights for 2 weeks then heavy weights for two weeks per the definition of light and heavy above.
It follows this pattern, aiming for 30-60 minutes a day 3 days a week:

Round 1 - 2 days light
Round 2 - 3 days light
Round 3 - 2 days heavy
Round 4 - 3 days heavy

Each body area has the schedule staggered, so you're not trying to go all heavy in every area in the same week. This week we have A&S in round 1, C&B in round 4 and G&L in round 3.
Stretching
Some have requested stretches to go along with the strength work. I haven't been scheduling them because I tend to do a few of the same ones over and over. Its usually one of these or I am trying out a new one, but use whatever works for you.

Feedback
I would love to hear what everyone things. Specifically; Are there any classes you would like me to rotate out (why)? Is this the right amount of strength work for you? Do you have a favorite class you are hoping I work into the mix?
Edit
I might not be around for a bit, so posting the full 8 week schedule so that people can continue with their workouts. Schedule

Hello #RedditRiders! It’s our favorite day of the week, Sweat Steady Saturdays! Each Saturday, this group takes a Sweat Steady class together. We are a “no ego, amigo” group of riders, everyone is welcome to join us! This week Jess is back with this new live 30m Sweat Steady class.
If you haven’t tried a Sweat Steady class, now is the perfect time to try it out! This class is an endurance based class with high resistance/high cadence segments of moderate, hard, and hardest, and little recovery time.
Use the hashtag #RedditRiders so we can find each other and if you’d like to make friends, drop your leaderboard name below!
We hope to see you on the leaderboard!

^The link above is for a super fun 30 minute cycling ride with a bubbly British instructor named Bradley Rose. It flew by! I like how the intro had the semi-random song Hero by Charlotte Perelli. The playlist includes Fairytale, Ooh Ah..., Making Your Mind Up, and many other amazing songs. Being able to listen to those while working out made pedaling way easier ;)
There are other classes on the Peloton app (you don't need a Peloton treadmill or bike, per se) about Eurovision, but they are called Euro Pop. What I don't get is why they can't call it Eurovision? Bradley mentioned the term at one point, but he called it Euro Pop at the beginning and end, and he referred to it as "the contest" or "the competition." He implied at the end that he couldn't call it by its real name. This is so weird to me...even Disney allows its name to be used for rides, and they get quite litigious. How is Eurovision stricter than Disney?!? Maybe the idea for the ride is new and Eurovision will approve it at some point but hasn't formally done so yet. I am so confused :0
In any event, check out their programming! It is GREAT!

Week eight down, and on to week nine! Use this thread to discuss this week's rides (or last weeks). Add the hashtag #redditPZ if you would like to.
Congratulations to everyone who finished (all or part of) the program!! Huge thank you to everyone who joined in (new and old members). Next program will start on Monday, June 5th if you all want to continue riding with the group. I will post the program / sign-up thread for the next round on Monday, May 29th so be on the lookout!
This week is a de-load week to do some endurance and let our bodies recover before the next FTP. Make sure you are rested up before the re-test. Personally I like to take an easy 30 min PZE ride or maybe a 20-30 minute scenic ride keeping it in zone 2 the day before. Re-testing is not a requirement, but if you feel your fitness has changed (for better or for worse), I would go ahead and get it done. Not everyone will have increases, and that is totally okay and sometimes normal.
Again thank you all for joining in the program with me! I hope you all had fun and got fitter. Be sure to let us know how the next FTP goes! I'll post an off block thread next Sunday so we can all stay in touch over the break.

Happy Mother's Day to all the strong mothers out there!

Wait, you just said eight of eight, does this mean it is ending? No, it will just be looping back around again. Next week we will go back to week 1's schedule again, with a couple of substitutions based on feedback, any purged classes, and the desire to occasionally mix in a new class.
Each class will list "light" or "heavy", this is not to be confused with the Light/Medium/Heavy weights instructors ask you to use for each move. What it means is, lets say you normally use 5/10/20 but you are hoping to level up to 10/15/25. When my class says "light" you would use your 10s when the instructor calls for medium weights and when my class says "heavy" you would use your 15s for the same move.

Hello #RedditRiders! It’s our favorite day of the week, Sweat Steady Saturdays! On Saturday's, this group takes a Sweat Steady class together. Sweat Steady rides are challenging, endurance based, classes with little to no recovery time. We are a “no ego, amigo” group of riders, everyone is welcome to join us!
This week we will be taking this 45 min Sweat Steady Ride from 02/29/2020. Since it's an older Sweat Steady, you know this class is going to be challenging.
This playlist is another one of Jess’s eclectic mixes featuring Tinashé, Bishop Briggs, T-Pain, Rob Thomas, Gloria Estefan, P!nk, The Cranberries, Linkin Park, & The Weeknd.

Monday's ride is totally German (no subtitles), I am going to add a Matt ride as an alternate if you don't want to deal with HFB / Zone indicators.
For those doing the intended ride :
one = eins
two = zwei
three = drei
four = vier
five = fünf
six = sechs
seven = sieben
I took the ride during our last break, as long as you can mostly remember the structure, it's not too tough to follow. Main advice is to not get too deep into zone 7 (just get into the zone). I think it's an easier class than last Monday honestly.

Hi everyone! This Saturday since there is no new Sweat Steady on the schedule we will be taking Jess' live House Ride. It will also be my 1500th ride!
This week we are back to doing live rides again, so there is no need to worry about sessions and the start time is set.

Hey all. I typed in "ROW" in the workout search on the website, and low and behold, there is a 10 Minute R&B Row by Ash available.
When I search on the App, I can see the scenic rows. I am unable to START any of these, but it looks like I can do the 10 Minute R&B Row with Ash. I'm going to try it out after work tonight on my WaterRower.
Hopefully more to come!!!
EDIT: It looks like the scenic classes can be downloaded (preloaded,) but they are causing an error when attempting to download.
EDIT 2: Looks like Peloton took it down. I guess using our ALL ACCESS membership on a 10 minute rowing class was a bit too much to enjoy, lol

Week six down, and on to week seven! Use this thread to discuss this week's rides (or last weeks). Add the hashtag #redditPZ if you would like to.
Highly recommend previewing the ride graphs and adding a warm-up ride if you have the time. Ride at whatever cadence you feel comfortable at, and take the zone 1 recoveries! I originally had a CDE ride on Wednesday, but the class was recently purged.

If you missed any previous weeks, this is something you can jump into any given week you don't need to have been there week one for it to work. This strength schedule is designed to help you progress from one weight to the next (if that is what you want, you are of course free to maintain the weights you use as well). There is a #RedditStrength for those interested in joining it.
This is an eight week cycle that repeats. Each time we come around again I'll be looking for a couple newer classes to replace some of the older classes previously used.
Each class will list "light" or "heavy", this is not to be confused with the Light/Medium/Heavy weights instructors ask you to use for each move. What it means is, lets say you normally use 5/10/20 but you are hoping to level up to 10/15/25. When my class says "light" you would use your 10s when the instructor calls for medium weights and when my class says "heavy" you would use your 15s for the same move. This will help us to progress to where the 15s are your new normal.
Monday:

Wednesday:

10m Core w/Olivia 10/17/22
10m C&B w/JJ 6/28/22 heavy (go heavier than he says to)
10m G&L w/Chase 2/8/22 heavy

Benchmark: Every 2 weeks (unless feedback is you'd prefer every 4) we will repeat these classes to measure our progress. Do everything you can in these classes (similar to an FTP test for PZers). You can measure yourself any way that works for you; number of reps, weights used, or just how tired you feel afterwards.
Extra Credit: These are extra classes for those who want more work than the standard schedule. They are also good substitutions if for any reason you don't like a class or instructor on the schedule.
You can stop reading here unless you want to know why I am scheduling what I am scheduling.
The basis is a 4 week progression. In each body area we will use light weights for 2 weeks then heavy weights for two weeks per the definition of light and heavy above.
It follows this pattern, aiming for 30-60 minutes a day 3 days a week:

Round 1 - 2 days light
Round 2 - 3 days light
Round 3 - 2 days heavy
Round 4 - 3 days heavy

Each body area has the schedule staggered, so you're not trying to go all heavy in every area in the same week. This week we have A&S in round 1, C&B in round 4 and G&L in round 3.
Stretching
Some have requested stretches to go along with the strength work. I haven't been scheduling them because I tend to do a few of the same ones over and over. Its usually one of these or I am trying out a new one, but use whatever works for you.

Selena 1/20/21
Adrian 4/28/21
Ben 10/4/21

Feedback
I would love to hear what everyone things. Specifically; Are there any classes you would like me to rotate out (why)? Is this the right amount of strength work for you? Do you have a favorite class you are hoping I work into the mix?

To my fellow #ramadanrider and Reddit friends, early Eid Mubarak (happy Eid!) Eid al Fitr is the celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. It starts tonight (Thursday) at sunset.
Joslyn has a 20 min Eid al Fitr walkand a stretch. Assal has a stretch too! I’m beside myself with excitement because we are seen!

Week four down, and on to week five! Use this thread to discuss this week's rides (or last weeks). Add the hashtag #redditPZ if you would like to.
De-load week is here, so take it easy! We are still working this week. We are just letting our bodies recover a bit, before really going hard the last 3 weeks. Even if you're feeling good try to avoid taking anything harder than the rides below.
We now have a discord if you want to join.
Group Ride for the Saturday rides is at 10 AM central.
(Gala-papa would like to note to start the ride at 9:59 exactly so you will begin at 10 after the 1 minute countdown). Also do not join the ride in a session.

Welcome to week four of the Reddit Strength program. I hope you've all been enjoying it so far. If you missed any previous weeks, this is something you can jump into any given week you don't need to have been there week one for it to work. And if you're taking it easy this holiday week, no problem you can always jump right back in next week. This strength schedule is designed to help you progress from one weight to the next (if that is what you want, you are of course free to maintain the weights you use as well). There is a #RedditStrength for those interested in joining it.

Hi everyone and happy Friday! This Saturday since there is no Sweat Steady on the schedule we will be continuing with JKE rides by taking this 30 min The Jess King Experience ride. (this is at our normal time, I think there was confusion last time I scheduled one because I list them in CT rather than ET)
What is The Jess King Experience? What began as regular live DJ rides with Jess King and DJ John Michael, The Jess King Experience classes have evolved into heavily EDM inspired rides. In terms of difficulty, these classes have wide cadence and resistance callouts, so they’re suitable for everyone.
How to join the group ride: Join the class on-demand at 8:30 am ct DO NOT join a session. Why not a session? We like to give riders the option to join a few minutes early or later without them missing any workout time. This give everyone a little wiggle room to join.
Use our community hashtag #RedditRiders so we can find each other and if you’d like to make friends, drop your leaderboard name below!
If you have any suggestions or feedback for us, feel free to include them in the comments. We hope to see you on the leaderboard!
