Your workout plan may be paved with good intentions, but sometimes it takes a little creativity to keep your daily (or weekly) Peloton class streak alive. Day get away from you? Add a blue dot to your calendar with a five-minute sleep meditation before bedtime. Hit the snooze button a few too many times? Squeeze in a 15-minute ride instead of the one you’d planned to do for 45. Kids have the day off from school? Try a family class to keep your streak going (and tire them out in the process).

For more inspiration, we asked some motivated-by-milestone Members to share their secrets to keeping their workout streaks alive, no matter what.

Plan Ahead

  • “I pre-stack my workouts a month in advance. It keeps me on track every day, keeps me accountable and helps keep my streaks alive.”—Nikki S.

  • “I get up before 4:00 AM everyday, before the rest of the world wakes up, to get a workout in and make sure I don’t need to spend any time during the day worrying about losing my streak. (Yes, I am crazy.)”—Jessica P.

  • “I schedule my classes in advance so I am sure they happen. The live morning meditations are something I can do in my office, so that helps a lot.”—Ashley P.

Turn Chores and Errands Into Exercise

  • “I take a meditation everyday while in the shower.”—Tamera C.

  • “Anytime I walk the dog, I put on an outdoor walk—both for the music and for my streak!”—Carin S.

  • “If I need to fit in a class while I’m cooking, I do one of Rebecca Kennedy’s standing core classes. Love them—I still get a workout without needing a mat and getting on the floor.”—Susan H.

  • “When I am short on time, I break my workout up into 10–15-minute segments throughout the day.”—Yom F.

  • “I will do a meditation with my kids while putting them to bed or turn on a walk while I am putting away laundry or shopping at the mall to keep my pace up.”—Holly K.

Take a Break at the Office

  • “As soon as I get to work, I do a meditation. It gets my head in the right place and ready to handle a day of teaching math to teenagers.”—Cristina W.

  • “I keep a yoga mat and three-pound weights in my office at work to sneak in a lunchtime workout if need be.”—Melissa N.

  • “I started keeping sneakers in my office. Two to three times a week, I’ll throw them on and do a 20-minute outdoor walk. Particularly helpful when my evening is filled with mom duties.”—Marie C.

  • “On work days, I will often take a meditation class during my lunch break or do one of the Yoga Anywhere classes.”—Carlyle S.

Get the Family Involved

  • “I hit the Bike first thing when I come home from work. If the kids are demanding, and I can’t get it in, we do a quick yoga together, or I meditate at bedtime.”—Marci L.

  • “My husband and I do a sleep meditation every night. Since I am working from home, I can also fit classes in between meetings and at lunch. When I don’t have early meetings, I use my ‘commute’ time to get in classes before my work day starts.”—Danica F.

  • “Yoga Anywhere is great when you don’t have a mat, shoes or weights. Our daughter was in the hospital, and we utilized that to move our bodies and keep our streaks.”—Erin R.

Try Something New While Traveling

  • “I work out daily, and when I’m on vacation, I stream off the Peloton App. I hit my 365-day streak last week! ”—Somady L.

  • “I have put on a dance cardio class in a hotel room because I don’t want to lay on the floor. I have fun trying to learn the moves and laugh at how uncoordinated I am!”—Karin T.

  • “I’ll do a 10-min. Arms & Light Weights class without weights while I'm traveling. And Fit Family Brain Break classes with Jess Sims in the hotel room pre-client meeting to get the blood flowing and turn on smart thoughts! Also, for my sanity, I only track the weekly streak.”—Stacey L.

Commit to It

  • “Don’t feel like exercising? Pick a class based off music! Jess Sims does a 20-minute jock jams run that is perfect for this. (It’s my lawn mowing class.)”—Cleo B.

  • “Whenever I can’t get motivated, I say to myself, ‘Be stronger than your excuses.’ It’s one of my favorite Peloton quotes. Then I commit to a 10-minute class—which almost always turns into a 30–45-minute workout.”—Ashley F.

You’ve got this. Keep that streak going with the Peloton App, and #ShareYourStreak on social media!
