Step by Step Video – How to Subscribe to a Podcast in iTunes

My wife suggested that some listeners (and a certain Group Fitness Podcast Host) may not understand the “subscribe in iTunes” thing. So I made a short video that demonstrates subscribing to her new show; Group Fitness Talk Radio! It takes you through the whole process and includes how to set up your iPod so everything is automatic.

CycleOps Indoor Cycling Bike Setup Video with Angie Sturtevant

Here is a great video on proper bike setup that features Angie Sturtevant from CycleOps.

$50.00 Spinning / Indoor Cycling Bike Power Meter

Here is my solution to one of my biggest frustrations: watching someone ride with little or no resistance. Bikes like the Keiser M3, Cycleops Pro 300PT and the new Schwinn A.C. Performance indoor cycle offer “Power” measurements that show how much actual work your are creating, but typical Indoor Cycling Bikes offer nothing.
So what do you do when you are stuck with a room full of Spinner NXTs? Watch the video for a simple method that anyone can use to measure the relative amount of work done in class.

Here is a link to a $45.00 similar Digital Laser Thermometer over at Amazon KINTREX IRT0421 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Targeting My thermometer is old and doesn’t seem to be available anymore.

Find a sheet of mailing labels, paint it with a flat spray paint.

IMPORTANT! Check to see where the resistance pad makes contact with the flywheel so it doesn’t remove the lable. New Spinners and LeMonds come down from the top so the label needs to be placed like on the video. Newer Schwinn bikes & Johnny G bikes the pads grip from each side so the label goes on the outer face.

Let me know what you think about this by leaving a comment below.

ICI Podcast #22 – Global Ride DVD Minneapolis Premiere

Minneapolis was the last stop on the Global Ride Tour. It was at Pedal Indoor Cycling Studio a wonderful private studio in NE Minneapolis. The studio’s owner Maryjo Hackett made everything work on short notice.
I had a chance to sit down and hear from Spinning Instructor Gene Nacey about his two week, 9,500 mile road show. Gene was telling me that he has been editing and uploading videos to YouTube while they drove between towns. I felt a little competition brewing so I wanted to get this up before he got on the airplane this afternoon.
