I'm really glad I'm not in that FB group. I am not interested in any kind of parent shaming. That's just gross. I don't even know I am part of the main group. It's all people complaining about something or other.

As far as the Peloton thing. There is a fix that will make this treadmill a lot safer they just don't want to do it because it will hurt their profits. The fact that they are warning that not just children who are wild cards and can turn on anything but pets have to be kept away says a lot. I'm thinking if Peloton doesn't respond soon it will actually hurt them more than if they just did a recall and fixed it and we're done with it. I totally agree. There are people on the Peloton FB groups saying that the people upset about this are trying to take down the stock price and I am just like... it's a legitimate concern, though! If they aren't going to fix something that can kill/injure someone...yeah, I'm ok with their stock price taking a hit?

I think the people saying that probably care more about their Etrade account than the actual safety issue, so...

I think I'm going to go back to my old eating times. I don't dig adding the snack during the day enough and it usually means losing my night treat.

Of course. I'm not trying to equate the two things. Yes of course Peloton is marketed as home gym equipment. I do think there are more people purchasing home gym equipment now than in past years because of the pandemic. That was the point MH was making. Not that Peloton doesn't have responsibility here. They absolutely do. Just that there are so many more treadmills in homes right now than there normally would be, thereby exacerbating the already-existing problem. Is it necessarily an "already-existing" problem when it is tied directly to a design issue on their end? Oh yes, that is what I meant by "already-existing" problem. Not with treads in general, but the existing problem with the design issue with the Peloton tread, specifically. Sorry if that was not clear.

First day of full day school for the kids! House was eerily quiet while I did my workout.
20 minute strength for runners with Becs 10 minute core with Emma (week 3 day 1 of Crush your Core)
I also weeded and did yard work for 90 minutes and will walk about two miles to and from school for drop off and pick up today. Nice active day!

We've been fighting about them ever since that damn commercial for Christmas 2019. Everything since then is their fault. EVERYTHING

Tenth ride today. I did a 20 minute rock ride with Olivia. I really need to start paying more attention to the difficulty ratings on these rides. I picked this one because of the music playlist and didn't realize it was an 8.2. I really need to stay in the 6/7 range right now. Ohh, yeah... I'd avoid Kendall and Olivia rides unless they are low impact until you are ready for the 8+ rating, lol.

I did not know that having some type of plate or barrier to keep a person from being sucked under versus thrown off was common on other treads. If that’s the case, Peloton really dropped the ball by omitting a common safety feature. At their price point, they could have had the barrier, the key, and a pin code (or even facial recognition with the camera like iOS) and positioned themselves as having top of the line safety features.
Also, I realize this is an UO, but I think the instructors should wear the safety key in their classes to normalize the usage.

I hide the leaderboard most of the time anyway. If you think the playlist is fun, don’t let the rating discourage you!

I didn't realize the instructors don't wear the safety key, that's a big miss that has nothing to do with the design flaw of the tread itself.

I got back to the HCOTF calendar today with lots of modifications because my back is still messed up, but it felt good to move with intention.

I'm trying to picture our treadmill at home and I don't think it has any type of barrier in the back either (not a Peloton). I need to go home and check. ETA: After googling commercial treadmills, it most likely has the bar in the back. Still going to check to make sure. I know it doesn't have a removable safety button though.

Had a really active weekend - did tread boot camps both days and spent the rest of the day outside by the water (it's already 90* here!). Today we walked to school and then I spent my lunch hour moving wheelbarrows of sand from our driveway to the backyard. I got about halfway through before my back started cramping.
B: Yogurt w granola AM Snack: dried coconut L: Big salad...how many toppings are too many toppings? I'm pretty sure there's lettuce under there somewhere D: Not sure yet - probably a baked potato with either shrimp or leftover ribs

Ok, hi.
30 minute White Stripes run with Selena (3.25 miles) 15 minute tabatta ride with Tunde 20 minute slow flow yoga with Aditi
I originally had a strength in there, but kids and house stuff and being interrupted, I need to swap. Strength will be tomorrow instead and I've got the yoga on deck for bedtime.
Food has been spot on and will be fine through the rest of the night.

I really appreciate the information in this group. I had always been bad about taking the safety key off when not using the treadmill, but after seeing the information posted here, it is now removed and out of the kids' reach. I spoke with MH about doing the same thing. I also had another talk with the kids about the treadmill and that it can be dangerous so they should just stay away from it.

I agree with this too, but I just know myself and even if I think I will modify and take it easy, I get caught up in the ride and usually follow the prompts from the instructor anyway unless it’s a specific recovery day for me, ha.

I saw on FB that Jess Sims apparently had to stop in the middle of a live bike boot camp. I really hope she’s ok. She seems to have been struggling with something for awhile now.

It’s weird that they’ve just been not saying anything about Jess. If she is having health issues she doesn’t want people to know about she could still just do a vague “I’m taking some time off” or something. And it’s weird that her first bootcamp back would be a 45 minute one instead of starting out with a shorter one. Whatever it is must be pretty bad if she had to stop in the middle of a live class. I hope she’s ok.

I saw that on the schedule for tonight and was curious. I wish they'd let us know what was wrong, though I obviously understand she might want to keep her possible health issue to herself.

Which could explain why they aren’t saying anything so it doesn’t look like they have an outbreak there after Cody had it too. Injury also would’ve made sense but that doesn’t really add up with today’s issues since people were saying she was super pale and really seemed to be struggling.

Hello!
I ran four miles today, which is more than I’ve done in a while and it felt good! I also did 2 10 min upper body strength workouts with Ben. It felt good too.
Re: treadmills, we have a Nordic track and I don’t think it has a back bar on it. If there’s an easy fix, or any fix really, then they need to do it.

Evening all!
I did a stack of:
Cody’s 30 min Pop Bike Bootcamp RK’s 10 min Core Ally’s 10 min Barre Ben’s 5 min Lower Body Stretch
I was going to do Ben’s 20 min Lower Body Strength as well but the Bootcamp had a lot of lunges and squats so I skipped.
I also took a walk with MH and got in a mile.
Hope everyone has a great night!

In her IG story Jess said she's completely fine and still doing her live power walk tomorrow. The mystery continues.
