John and I are very grateful for everyone who visits our site and for everyone who has joined ICI/PRO. We are very pleased with our first quarter of being in business, and can hardly contain our excitement for what we have planned for the coming year. Members of ICI/PRO can look forward to the following...

[Last year I posted a Spinning Profile on my Funhogspins blog called New Year's Revolution. (This is a slight modification of that same post). I don't think there's any of us who aren't ready to bid farewell to 2009! So I believe it's even more important to use some of the principles outlined in my ride...

Jeff and I were out showshoeing the other day and came across this wonderful sign on a nature trail in the Sylvan Lake State Park, not far from where we now live. I can’t wait to go out and hike this trail again, both this winter and in the summer, because I imagine there are more signs that we...

“Here they come, here they come, Here they come and they might as well…” Begins Gramarye – by Remy Zero. If you enjoy tracks with a lot of changes of intensity (you can hear the surges and big sprint finish) this may be a song you and your class would like. You can sample the...

That’s what I would say after a high intensity segment in my Holiday class this morning. On a short recovery segment with an approaching challenging climb with attacks, I told them to prepare to burn off yet another cookie. (Who knows if we really did calorie-wise – but who cares? It’s...

Here’s a list of Holiday songs, some sources and my annual Christmas profile. If you are doing a Christmas/Holiday ride, then you’ll want to download these free mash-ups from A Very Bootie Christmas. Fun and irreverent. Here’s a very fun song, The Christmas Can Can - you can only...

Do your students also train at home? They may own an Indoor Cycling/Spinner bike or are a cyclist, who rides their road bike on a trainer or rollers. Over the next week I would really appreciate it if you would ask your class and then give me a rough estimate of the percentage of your class who train...

They’re coming In just 2 days and this is your one chance this year to change their lives. Why not use one of Jennifer’s Audio Profiles that are part of ICI/PRO to catch a few? Your class will swell with “resolutionists”, those people who every year re-commit to an exercise program...

Do you all use Jason Mraz’ song “I’m Yours”? It’s a fantastic cool-down song. Well watch this video cover, and keep your hat on because this kid will be famous some day! And his overwhelming cuteness will bring a smile to your face as well. Pay attention to how talented...

I’ve been a little preoccupied lately… Meet the new 4-pawed additions to the Sage family. Galibier & Izoard playing I’ve taken about 50 or 60 photos of my new kitties, most relegated to the trash bin – I can’t believe how difficult it’s been to catch these guys...

They made this DVD just for me! OK, not really. But it is exactly what I have asked for; a long climb without a bunch of distractions. I need to thank Allen Jones from Epic Planet for sending me a sample of this DVD – a small perk of this job If you asked a frequent participant of my Indoor Cycling...

Jeff and I finally did it, we’ve been talking about it for a very long time. We went to the Animal Shelter and got two little kitties.  They haven’t stopped playing since we brought them home over an hour ago. One’s gray, one’s black, both boys, not litter mates (the gray is...

If you are anything like me, your life revolves around your computer. Email, FaceBook, iTunes, on-line shopping and this website are all inaccessible without a working computer. Since we have an official “Geek” here at IndoorCycleInstructor.com, I thought I would offer some of his wisdom...

ICI/PRO Member Linda Hollinshead wrote me to explain that she couldn’t be on the monthly Tele-Seminar call yesterday because she had some community service planned. Linda was one of Santa’s Elves making cat beds for a shelter near Asheville, NC. Maxx, my 4 lb Yorkie, would fit right into...

Those who followed my Funhogspins Blog or have known me on Pedal-On for a long time know that I’m a big fan of the Fat Cyclist and his efforts to beat cancer. You also know that I’m usually involved in some sort of fundraiser myself.* Fatty’s wife Susan passed away less than two months...

Brrrr, it was -8 f (that’s -22 c) this morning as I drove to my class!! My little Mini Cooper could barely pump out enough heat to warm my feet as I drove, and I could barely manage the 50 foot jog from the car to the gym at 5:55am, trying not to slip on the ice. How much longer until Spring?? But...

I was there! OK, but because I was talking to so many people I ended up in the back row, at the end of that row, but I did get close to Troy Jacobson, as he walked past, once… I was this close to Troy!

The holiday season is fast approaching and finding the perfect gift for the athlete on your list can be quite a challenge!  The sheer volume of fitness gadgets, gear, and gizmos is enough to overwhelm even the savviest of shoppers!  But fear not.  Take a deep breath and relax because I’ve...
