ICI Podcast # 18 – Indoor Cycling Instructor Paul Camerer

I met Paul Camerer, AKA Pink House, at the Heart Zones conference. We both were taking the level 1 Indoor Cycling certification course. Paul’s birthday is December 26th and he will be 90 years old. That afternoon he will probably teach an Indoor Cycle class in his garage /studio or lace up the new running shoes he regularly wins at local 10K races. The guy is amazing and a real inspiration to everyone who meets him.

Here is an article all about Paul and his Pink House Studio!

ICI Podcast # 17 – Heart Zones USA Indoor Cycling Certification

Dr. Alinda Perrine, O.D., M.P.H. and Red Jersey / Master Trainer with Heart Zones USA conducted the Level 1 & 2 Indoor Cycling certification programs I completed during the Active Healthy Living conference this past weekend. I felt the program was very well presented and would prepare a new instructor to teach a very effective class.

Alinda is a true cyclist. She and her husband operate Free Spirit Adventures in Caldwell, West Virginia and she recently completed a “Ride Across America” with another ride planned for next year.

What I liked best was the emphasis on Training (which is measurable) vs. Exercising (which tends to be just wasting your time).

The majority of the certification class revolved around Heart Rate training:

• Instructing your participants on how to know if their body is prepared for exercise through a “Delta” test – Listen to the Podcast and see this link for more information.
• Proper techniques for conducting sub maximal tests to determine Max or Threshold Heart Rates
• Lots of discussion about Heart Rate specific class profiles.
