Hi, my name is Jocelyn Thompson-Roll. I'm a peloton instructor and I teach running and

bootcamp classes on the peloton tread. Don't get caught up in the amount of time that you have

to spend doing something. You don't need to do 30 minutes or 60 minutes for it to count.

partnered with peloton to help you find motivation that moves you. To find out more, visit
