If you’ve been wondering if losing weight with Peloton is actually possible, the short answer is: YES — but only if you do it the right way.
As a mom of four boys, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to feel stuck at that “last 10–15 pounds.” After my fourth baby, I hit that wall. I was riding Peloton most mornings, but nothing was changing. My weight stalled, my energy was up and down, and I felt like I was spinning my wheels (literally).
That’s when I got serious about creating a structured Peloton workout plan and pairing it with counting macros. And let me tell you — that’s when everything clicked. Within weeks, the scale started moving again, my body leaned out, and I finally shed those stubborn 15 pounds of baby weight.
The truth is: you can’t just do random Peloton rides every morning and expect real results. Peloton has so many amazing classes, but without a plan that combines HIIT, cardio, and strength training, you’ll plateau quickly. It took me months of trial and error to figure this out, and now I’ve put it all into a 30-day Peloton workout plan so you don’t have to waste that time like I did.
My Secret: Combining Peloton + Macros
The game changer for me was counting macros while following a specific Peloton training plan.
👉 Macros gave me the nutrition structure I needed. Instead of restricting calories, I focused on hitting the right balance of protein, carbs, and fats for my body. I teach more about this in my Custom Macro Program, because honestly, it’s different for everyone. But when I got my numbers dialed in, my energy went up, my hunger went down, and I could finally fuel my workouts without overeating later.
👉 Peloton gave me the workout structure I had been missing. Once I started following a plan that rotated HIIT rides, endurance cardio, and strength training, my body responded so quickly. Those sweaty intervals + strength sessions lit up my metabolism in a way I had never experienced from just “riding when I felt like it.”
I was shocked at how quickly my body changed once I combined the two.
My 30-Day Peloton Workout Plan
I put together a full, 30-day Peloton workout plan with all of my favorite classes linked and scheduled for you. These are the exact rides and workouts I did to lose my last 15 pounds, and they are 100% doable as a busy mom.
- A mix of HIIT rides, steady-state cardio, and recovery sessions
- Strength classes (don’t skip these — they made such a difference in reshaping my body!)
- Core & Pilates sprinkled in for stability and toning
This plan takes out all the guesswork and gives you the exact schedule I followed so you can just press play and know you’re working toward results.
30-Day Peloton Workout Plan for Weight Loss
Two Week Update: Down 7lbs
And let me tell you — I saw results fast. In just two weeks, I dropped 7 pounds when I first started my program. I was so excited and motivated, that getting my Peloton workouts in felt easy because I could see the progress happening. What surprised me, though, was that the eating part was actually harder. I didn’t really like having to weigh and track food, but once I got used to it, I would weigh foods ahead of time and put them in containers, so I didn’t have to do it later. It was really sad how little chips or goldfish I could eat before I hit my carb count! I didn’t realize how much snacking on my kids snacks I really did!
1 Month Update: Down 15lbs
Okay by 1 month I was sold. I looked forward to all my workouts, and figured out a routine for strength, cardio and HIIT workouts. I knew which days I was doing which workouts, and I figured out how to split cardio and strength into different times of the day, so it didn’t feel so long. I also got way better at eating cleaner and protein. I got my favorite protein pics figured out, I new how much fruit or carbs I was allowed to eat, and I just kinda got off the carbs.
Why Random Rides Don’t Work
I know how tempting it is to hop on the bike and pick whatever ride looks fun. I did that for months. The problem? It’s not structured enough to trigger fat loss. You need:
- High-intensity days to push your metabolism
- Steady cardio days to build endurance and burn fat
- Strength days to build muscle and sculpt your body
When you combine these in the right order — and match them with the right nutrition — that’s when real weight loss happens.
Pair It With Nutrition For Fast Results
I can’t stress this enough: the workouts will only get you halfway there. Nutrition is the other half of the puzzle.
That’s why I recommend pairing my 30-day Peloton plan with one of my nutrition programs or getting a custom macro count done. When you line up your workouts and your macros, you’ll see results faster than you think possible.
For me, that combo was the secret to finally feeling strong, lean, and confident after four pregnancies.
Final Thoughts
Yes, you can absolutely lose weight with Peloton — but not with random rides or guesswork. You need a plan that mixes cardio, HIIT, and strength training, plus a nutrition approach that fuels your body without leaving you hungry.
That’s why I created my 30-Day Peloton Workout Plan (the exact one I used to lose my last 15 lbs) and offer Custom Macro Coaching so you can finally skip the trial and error and start seeing real progress.
If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and actually shed those stubborn pounds, this plan will get you there — mama tested, mama approved.
