I Do Live Workout Classes on Zoom

I signed up for the Peloton app and have been doing streamed video workouts from other places like Orangetheory and Class FitSugar, but there's something about logging into a live Zoom workout that makes me feel accountable. Even though I usually leave my camera off during these workouts (no one needs to see me sweaty or my husband working on his laptop on the couch!), it is the closest thing to in-person boutique fitness classes that I so desperately miss. Signing up for a class around 7:30 or 8 a.m. ensures that I can get in a good sweat before I log on for work.

I even rented an indoor Spin bike from one of my favourite local cycling studios, Monster Cycle, and have been doing the Monster Live cycling classes, which are free on Zoom (just be sure to tip your instructor!). I also have been staying accountable with Barry's Live classes, and I completed the Barry's Social Fitnessing Challenge, which was 20 classes in 30 days. Barry's also has live Barry's Ride classes, and since I loved the Barry's Ride in studio so much, it's been great to bring that experience home.
