“First to achieve a comprehensive fitness routine, you must train your entire body and not overwork one muscle group,” said Ben Aldis, Peloton trainer.
The Body Activity feature learns which body parts you have already trained that week and will recommend supplemental classes to ensure you get a good and constructive workout.

Self-mode is one of my favorite features in the Peloton Guide. It can be very intimidating to try new moves, especially as a beginner. With the Self mode, you will be able to see yourself next to the trainer and check your form.
