As a busy mom, I don’t have hours to spend working out. Between chasing my toddler, solo parenting, and working from home, I need workouts that actually fit into real life. That’s why I love my Peloton—it makes it possible to squeeze in movement, even on the busiest days.

Last week, I found a few rides that gave me energy, helped me stay consistent, and reminded me that you don’t need hours in the gym to feel good. Here are my favorite Peloton rides from last week, along with why they worked so well for me as a mom.

Why I Choose Short, Motivating Rides

They’re easy to fit in during nap time or after bedtime
I don’t dread them because I know they won’t take forever
The energy boost helps me keep up with my toddler (especially that Sunday ride with Jess! I closed all my Apple fitness rings halfway through the day.)
Consistency matters more than perfection—and short rides make it possible.

My Favorite Peloton Rides This Week

30 Minute HIIT Ride + Alex - 9/20/25

Why I loved it: Great option when I didn’t have much energy. Just 30 minutes, but it left me feeling accomplished and stronger.

30 Minute Hip Hop Ride + Alex - 9/22/25

Why I loved it: Quick energy boost, great playlist, and the perfect way to give my week a boost.

20 Minute HIIT Ride + Jess - 8/20/25

Why I loved it: Listen, I love Alex down, and hardly ever take other instructions but Jess... oh, I'm a fan! She got me right. Felt like a total mood booster—the playlist was great and she came hard with words of encouragement. It was the perfect end to my week.

The Peloton Gear I Use Every Ride

I keep it simple, but these items make my rides more comfortable and enjoyable:

Peloton Unisex-Adult Cycling Shoe – Essential for clipping in and getting the most out of each ride.
Peloton Glass Water Bottle – I own 2 of these. I'm obsessed. Fits perfectly on the bike and keeps me hydrated.
Replacement Seat (Extra Wide) – Thank me later—total game-changer for comfort.

Why These Rides Work for Moms

At the end of the day, these aren’t about perfection. They’re about showing up, moving my body, and proving to myself that I can stay consistent even in a busy season of mom life.

If you’re a mom looking for realistic workouts, I hope this inspires you to pick a ride, press start, and see how much better you feel after.
