We know that the Bidens have Pelotons which have been specially altered so as not to be a security risk for the first family. Dr. Jill Biden, 71, is also a runner and according to wiki she runs five miles five times a week which is impressive. I have done about three 5Ks in my life and I’ve bragged about every one. I didn’t know that Dr. Biden does SoulCycle too. After her day of being sat at the back at the coronation she went to a SoulCycle class in London with Akshata Murthy, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s wife. Dr. Biden also attended a coronation lunch afterwards held by the Prime Minister. Here’s part of People’s writeup on this.
After a day of celebrating the coronation of King Charles, U.S. First Lady Jill Biden and Akshata Murthy, the wife of U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, attended a Soul Cycle class at the Notting Hill studio in London.
PEOPLE confirms they attended the 9:30 a.m. hour-long soul survivor class taught by Abbey Ashley, a senior instructor known for her love of Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.
Attendees first knew something was up when over 10 security guards greeted them at the studio. Biden is a well-known regular at Soul Cycle, as is Murthy, who sometimes attends with her husband.
PEOPLE understands they struck up a bond during the coronation, perhaps over their mutual love for spinning. The duo then went on to have a well-earned feast at No. 10.
Later in the day, the Prime Minister threw a coronation Big Lunch at his residence, which Biden attended.
People across the U.K. were invited to gather with neighbors for the events as part of the coronation weekend. Originally conceived by the Eden Project, the events are intended to “boost community spirit, reduce loneliness and support charities and good causes.”
So Jill and Akshata started talking about fitness at some point and then decided to go a spin class on Sunday with their security detail. I love this story! I wonder how they got on the topic? Did Jill ask Akshata what she recommended for a workout? Was Finnegan invited and did she say it wasn’t her thing? What I wouldn’t give to have been in that spin class. I’ve done Peloton and Les Mills RPM classes but I’ve never done Soul Cycle and have heard it’s awesome. (Some of those classes are so loud you have to bring earplugs though.) Dr. Biden is 71 years old and still going to spinning classes. She’s an inspiration on a lot of levels and she represented the US well at the coronation, which is much more than they deserved.
Cheers!
