At the end of our first class on the new FreeMotion Indoor Cycles last Sunday, I spent close to 30 minutes answering questions from participants about the cycles and the Power meters: How many Watts should I be making? Why did I have to turn it up so high before I saw any real increase… 
I just got confirmation that the Life Time Athletic club, where I have a Sunday 90 min endurance class, will have 65 new FreeMotion S11.9 indoor cycles for my next class! There had been a lot of rumors, but I couldn’t get confirmation until today from our Group Fitness dept head. I’ll be meeting with…

It’s official: We are in the thick of the holiday season! For many, the worries are already piling sky-high: In-laws, turkeys, decorations, pies, finances and the potential collapse of the Euro-zone (just kidding on that last one… mostly.).
