45 minutes on the Peloton. A nit of a struggle after too much time off for various reasons.

Is that a stationary bike thing or an app for a watch or cellphone?
Do you mean Peloton? They make bikes, treadmills, and rowers. I guess maybe their popularity has waned, but, a few years ago, they owned the interactive equipment market. There is something like 6 million users/3 million with the monthly subscription.

There is an Apple Watch app, but I wear a Garmin Fenix, which makes it a bit more complicated... I have to sync my workouts with Strava, then Strava syncs with SyncMyWorkout, which then syncs with Garmin. A bit annoying, but only for the initial setup.

I am part of the Power Zone Pack on Peloton, which has its own website and app (currently not working). It is a group of 10K+ people broken into teams based on your preferences (age, location, etc.). We have several 6-8 week team challenges with predetermined rides; nice to have the support and encouragement of a group. I'm on an over-50 team that I have been on for 3-4 years now. Kind of like B&B in that you get to "know" people you've never met.

When I complete a workout, the PZ Pack site (or app) generates the graph I posted.
