How to set up your Peloton bike (or any spin bike!)
September 01, 2020 at 11:07AM Tips for setting up your Peloton bike (or any spin bike) with seat height, seat position, handlebar positions, and how to clip and unclip your pedals. I’ve been participating in an exciting Instagram advice mission lately: helping reader friends set up their Peloton bikes. I’ve had the bike for two years but have taught cycling classes for 11 years now (WHAT), so quite a few people have reached out to me for help on how to set up their bikes. (One week, I helped four people set up their bikes via photos and video!) I feel like Peloton does a lot of things right, but when I first got the bike myself, I was so thankful that I was an advanced spinner, because otherwise I would have felt lost with the initial process. I didn’t feel like the setup video was very thorough or helpful. They breezed through a lot of the details but thankfully, I was easily able to set it up myself. I thought I’d make a video here for my friends who have recently purchased a Peloton or another spin bike or need to adjust their current settings. The right settings can make such a huge difference in how your ride feels and can also help to protect injury and pain in your knees, ankles, wrists, and low back. As always, be smart when you’re setting up any type of fitness equipment. Ask for someone to help you if you need it!
If You’re On the Hunt for New Knitwear—Start With These H&M Knits
September 01, 2020 at 11:00AM I think I speak for everyone when I say I’m relieved that we’re a third through this year—2020 can do one, as far as I’m concerned. As if hearing our collective exhaustion at the year that keeps on taking, the weather has shifted to be enjoyably cold (by that I mean crisp, bright sunshine with the occasional freezing wind). This means one thing: it’s knitwear season. While the summer was for loose cotton dresses, shorts and padded shoulder vests, now it’s all about investing in the knitwear we’ll be wearing well into 2021. Personally, I’ll be stocking up on those jumpers and cardigans I’ll wear for many years to come—think cream cable knits, grey cashmere and striped nautical-style pullovers. There’s no doubt, however, that many of us are living on a tighter budget than before, but there are options. High-street favourite H&M has really delivered this season with a range of future classics that are primed for wearing with anything in your wardrobe. There’s a belted off-white cashmere cardigan and a greige thick ribbed knit which I know I’d wear all the time, but the piece I have my eye on is the cream knitted vest—wear oversized with a men’s shirt and leather trousers for the full 2020 look.

21 Things Every Woman In Their 30’s Should Learn About Wellness
September 01, 2020 at 10:49AM Wellness can be overwhelming. Are you going vegan or going keto? Learning to carb cycle or intermittent fast? Before you dabble in the trends, it’s helpful to optimize get some basic understanding about your own physical, mental and emotional health. Here are a few places to start… Operate in self-acceptance, not in punishment mode.

September Journal Prompts + Facing Challenges
September 01, 2020 at 10:00AM I’ve been reading Glennon Doyle’s new book, Untamed and have been so inspired by it! She mentions the quote, “You can do hard things”, so I wanted to focus on overcoming challenges and tapping into your own strength for this month’s journal prompts. Life is hard right now for everyone. Sure “hard” looks different for everyone but we have to admit this season of life is challenging for us all in some way or another. Most of you know that I’m not naturally a positive thinker which isn’t the norm in our “think positive” society. It’s nice to see that we’re starting to embrace the idea that life doesn’t have to be all good, all the time. That there’s room for the challenges and that the exist for a reason. Whether is a new season of life, a hard transition or just a hard situation, I’m trying to embrace each shift. My goal is to be as mindful as possible and lean into the hard times so the good times feel even sweeter. Hard times always bring a perspective shift for me. I realize what actually matters and life seems to boil down to the bare necessities. 10 Journal Prompts […] The post September Journal Prompts + Facing Challenges appeared first on The Healthy Maven.
