Disney Inspired Peloton Workouts

These Peloton Disney Inspired Workouts are perfect for the Disney lover in you! From spinning and running workouts to strength and stretch workouts, you’ll find something you love!

If you are looking for uplifting music that motivates you and takes you back to your childhood all at the same time, these Disney Inspired Peloton Workouts are just what you need! You don’t even need to have the Peloton Bike or Tread to do these workouts, you only need the Peloton App!

I’ve done these workouts and each one made me smile and brought back so many memories! I found it hard to find certain workouts on the Peloton App so I wanted to put these all in one place for others who may be looking for something fun and different for their workouts. These are not labeled as Disney on the app so you’ll need to filter by the time (length of class) and instructor. You can then confirm you have the correct class by looking at the music list or the date listed.

The workouts listed below are how I wrote them down but I can’t guarantee they are 100% accurate since I might have heard or written down something incorrectly, some instructors do things a little differently than what they call out, and sometimes the efforts are longer or shorter than what is expected. However, this list should give you a quick glance into what you are getting into with each workout before starting. I did all of these workouts on a non-Peloton spin bike.

If you want more Peloton content we have a lot more planned! I’m currently working on multiple posts to help those who are always wondering what is in a class before starting it. If you want to know as soon as a new post is released sign up for our email updates! *You do not have to have a Peloton branded bike to do the Peloton workouts. You can use another bike and still stream the Peloton App workouts.

* I did all of these workouts on our non-Peloton bike that we used for a year before ordering a Peloton. Once we received our Peloton bike I realized that it actually shows you the recommended resistance and cadence that the instructor calls out. How convenient – ha! As I do these rides again, I’ll make adjustments, if needed. If I missed a Disney themed workout please let me know!

DISNEY INSPIRED PELOTON WORKOUTS

SPIN WORKOUTS

10 MIN LOW IMPACT RIDE
Date: 02/08/21
Instructor: Emma Lovewell (wearing a tie-dye shirt)
Current Difficulty Rating: 4.7/10

I added this onto the end of Emma’s 20 min pop ride from 07/07/20 (also Disney-themed – see below). I didn’t really want a low-impact ride at the time, (I just wanted more Disney music) so I pushed a little harder than her cues. Great ride whether you take it as low impact or not!

Max cadence is 100
Max resistance is 50
The entire ride is in the saddle

• Warm-Up
• Ride:
  • Hills (2 minutes)
    • 40-50 resistance
    • 70 cadence
  • Flat Road
    • 25-30 resistance
    • 90-100 cadence

10 MIN COOL DOWN RIDE
Date: 02/11/21
Instructor: Leanne Hainsby
Current Difficulty Rating: 4.2/10

I loved this ride! I added to onto the end of Kendall’s 20 minute House Ride (also Disney-inspired, see below for that one). This was the first cool down ride I had ever taken. It is exactly what it sounds like… a cool down. However, I wouldn’t say that it is easy but it also isn’t hard. It’s a really good chance to flush your legs out, do it on a rest day, or on a day where you just don’t really feel like going too hard. There is no formal warm-up in this ride since it is a cool down ride. 😉

• Ride:
  • Section 1 (this is not necessarily a climb but is meant to flush out your legs)
    • 50 resistance
    • 60-70 cadence
  • Section 2
    • 35-45 resistance
    • 70-80 cadence
  • Section 3
    • 30-40 resistance
    • 75-90 cadence
  • Section 4
    • 23-35 resistance
    • 80-100 cadence
• Cool Down

15 MIN LOW IMPACT RIDE

Instructor: Emma Lovewell (wearing a tie-dye shirt)
Current Difficulty Rating: 5.4/10

I did this low-impact ride after one of my own leg workouts from the 12-Week Transformation plan. It was the perfect ride to shake out my legs from the workout. Plus, it had the perfect soundtrack – of course!

Max cadence is 100
Max resistance is 50
The entire ride is in the saddle (unless you take her one option to stand)

• Warm-Up

20 MIN POP RIDE
Date: 07/07/20
Instructor: Emma Lovewell (wearing a tie-dye shirt)
Current Difficulty Rating: 7.1/10

I really enjoyed this class (but Emma is my favorite instructor anyway!) and would say that the difficulty rating was pretty accurate but you could ramp it up a bit if you wanted to!

• Warm-Up

  • Dips (4 counts up, 4 counts down)
    • 35-45 resistance

    • 70-90 cadence
• Cool Down

20 MIN HOUSE RIDE
Date: 07/04/20
Instructor: Kendall Toole
Current Difficulty Rating: 7.3/10

This ride was great workout-wise. I will give you a heads-up that the music is not traditional Disney music but more of a remix of popular songs. Some may like it and some may not but it’s definitely a ride worth trying.

• Warm-Up (9 minutes)
• Ride:
  • Jog
    • 40 resistance
    • 70-75 cadence
  • Climb
    • 40-50 resistance (gradually adding resistance)
    • 60-65 cadence
  • Resistance Efforts
    • 40-50 resistance (adding additional resistance three times)
    • 75-80 cadence
  • Final Climb (adding resistance twice, heavier climb)
    • 45-50 resistance
    • 65-70 cadence
• Cool Down

30 MIN CLASSICAL MUSIC RIDE
Date: 11/17/20
Instructor: Christine D’ercole
Current Difficulty Rating: 7.7/10

This was my first ride with Christine. I loved how calm and quiet she was! She is motivating but doesn’t engage in a lot of talk or shoutouts. As the title suggests, this is a classical music ride but Christine does a good job of matching the music to the efforts. To be honest, I liked this ride a lot more than I thought I would when I read “classical music”. The sections were also great because they were different than the normal cycle classes I take. Christine only comes out of the saddle one time in this ride for just a few seconds but she welcomes the riders to come out when needed/wanted.

• Warm-Up (9 minutes)
• Ride:
  • Section 1 (3 minutes with the option to sprint the last 15 seconds)
    • 60 resistance
    • 60 cadence
  • Section 2 (2.5 minutes)
    • Resistance to make the 70 cadence goal
    • 70 cadence
  • Section 3 (2.5 minute build with the option to sprint the last 15 seconds)
    • 50 resistance (gradually adding resistance)
    • 70 cadence
  • Section 4 (2.5 minute steady ride at the resistance & cadence you just built up to, option to sprint the last 15 seconds)
    • 50+ resistance
    • 70 cadence
  • Section 5 (2 minutes light)
    • 20-30 resistance
    • 60 cadence
  • Section 6 (3 minute marching build with the option to sprint the last 15 seconds)

RUN WORKOUTS

Full Disclosure: I did both of these runs outdoors and not on a treadmill (I do not have access to a treadmill right now). I obviously wasn’t able to adjust or exactly plan my runs to meet up with the incline suggested but the trainer definitely made me push myself when I would have quit running on my own. My neighborhood is very hilly so it was definitely a challenge and I would have loved to be able to hold a 1% incline instead of the hills I had!

45 MIN ENDURANCE RUN
Date: 07/11/20
Instructor: Becs Gentry
Current Difficulty Rating: 7.6/10

This endurance run has no intervals and is a flat run (the highest incline is 4%). The speed is not adjusted during this class. The run consists of four chapters and the chapters are 8 and 16 minutes long. She mentions during warm-up that you should be taking 180 steps per minute (90 steps per leg). During this 45 minute run, she suggests that you will run 4-7 miles.

This run was filled with more Disney classical music than I would have chosen for a normal run myself but Becs guidance during the run was great. I, of course, love that she included a song from The Aristocrats!

• Warm-Up (4 minutes)
  • Jog
• Chapter 1: Run (8 minutes)
  • 2% incline
  • Nice comfortable run
  • Do not adjust the speed or incline, run steady and straight

45 MIN ENDURANCE RUN
Date: 10/29/20
Instructor: Becs Gentry
Current Difficulty Rating: 7/10 (listed as a beginner class)

The purpose of this endurance run is to find a steady, manageable pace you can hold for an extended period of time. I liked the music more in this one than the classic run prior. The run consists of 6 chapters, alternating between hills and a flat road. The flat road incline is 0.5% and the highest hill is 2%.
