Peloton is a company that revolutionsing fitness in the US. They sell indoor bikes that cost over €2,000 and treadmills that cost over €4,000 but their engaging livestreamed workouts have captivated all kinds of people looking for a different approach to home fitness. Even if it requires a $39 monthly subscription, Peloton has truly changed the game for home fitness, thanks in large part to its high-energy hosts and high-quality content.
Robin Arzón is one of Peloton's star presenters. The company's vice president of programming gave a pretty interesting interview to the New York Times yesterday breaking down her typical week. There's a lot of activity, a lot of intensity and a few fascinating dietary choices.
Arzón is a vegan who says she drinks 3.75 litres of water a day. She says starts each Monday with three different forms of hydration - none of which involve coffee - including one 17-ingredient smoothie.
If you're looking for a new approach to Monday morning, have a gander at what Arzón is consuming:
6.05am: a glass of room-temperature filtered water with a dash of sea salt, a quarter lemon and splash of apple cider vinegar
7.05am: a Cup of Onnit King Tea (ideally purple Kenyan blend)
8.00am: a 17-ingredient smoothie featuring vegan protein powder, magnesium, Athletic Greens, aloe vera, chlorophyll, glutamine, B.C.A.A.s, fresh kale/spinach, matcha powder, baobab, maca, nut butter, cacao nibs, chia seeds, moringa, water, ice.
