The Yellow Jersey Bicycle Insurance company is promoting their service with this very cool infographic about the Yellow Jersey, worn by the leaders of the Tour de France. As they are a UK company, it's fitting that they are highlighting past British riders who have worn the Yellow Jersey. If you follow professional cycling you're aware of how utterly dominate Team Sky / British Cycling has been over the past two years. More excitement will follow for sure 🙂

Free Music Friday – The Cars Mashups & Remixes

Free Music Friday – The Cars Mashups & Remixes

thecarsalbum_1978

I've been a Cars fan forever – they were the soundtrack of my senior year in highschool. Yes I know that dates me, but these we cassettes – not 8 tracks 🙁

Turns out I have a bunch of Cars fans in my Thursday class (we're all of similar vintage) so I thought it would be fun to include a few tracks in my class next week.

Digging around I found that there are some very nice Mashups and remixes. Would any of these fit into your next profile?

Zoning Success Story


If you've followed indoorcycleinstructor.com for any length of time you know that I'm a huge fan of the 2T/3Z method of Heart Rate training which is the basis for Zoning. That simple Blue/Yellow/Red response from my Blink Heart Rate monitor is (to me) the perfect way to introduce zone based heart rate training into your class.

Here's some proof of it's success – OK it's a bit rough, but Diana presents a powerful truth that Zoning has worked for her in this video. Your students are in your class to lose body fat and Diana losing 100 pounds and finishing the Danskin Triathlon is a testament to the effectiveness of 2T/3Z Heart Rate training.

Black Friday and the start of our new PRO/Deal of the Week!


Amy and I taught our Thanksgiving day class to Epic Redwing, the latest Indoor Cycling DVD from Epic Planet!  – which was kind of weird actually… teaching a class of 50 while riding to a video of ourselves… at least we knew the profile 🙂

But the class loved it and you will too, especially at a 50% discount if you purchase it today.

You can use coupon code DEAL at checkout today and receive a 50% off the DVD, digital download or both.

But this isn't just for Black Friday – we are planning to feature a special PRO/Deal of the Week every Friday! Much like Groupon for Indoor Cycling Instructor's, our PRO/Deal of the Week will feature a different product or service, at a substantial discount, every Friday!

Look for more later this weekend…

Epic Red Wing

The Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota, and the neighboring Wisconsin countryside is nationally known for its cycling-friendliness. Now, you can take a virtual tandem training ride in this beautiful area with John and Amy Macgowan and friends, of the internationally renowned Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast and Indoor Cycle Instructor Pro Website.

Take a 50-mile ride along the scenic banks of the Mississippi River and Lake Pepin, separating Minnesota and Wisconsin, on a warm July morning. What better remedy for those cold-weather blues!

This ride has it all–two climbing segments, one endurance segment and one rolling country segment–and offers a balanced workout for indoor cycling classes and home trainers.

Includes our new “Just the Ride” menu option which gives indoor trainers, coaches and instructors a choice of 60 minute and 45 minute versions of the ride to fit their training or class requirements.

Details: Can not be combined with other coupons, discounts or offers. Hurry, there's only 50 copies available at this price.
You can order here – be sure to use code DEAL.

Let's get them off on the right pedal :)

Let's get them off on the right pedal 🙂

12/29 – download and playlist added.

With the Resolutionists descending en-mass on your club or studio, Cycling Fusion's Tom Scotto and I felt you would benefit from an Audio PROfile that would get them off on the right foot peddle for 2013.

Strong Foundation is a 30 minute class you can teach repeatedly during a weekend open house event or as a regularly scheduled introduction to Indoor Cycling!

This Audio PROfile is the continuation of ICI Podcast #241 — The Resolutionists are coming!

Tom's download and playlist.

Strong Foundation PRO/Playlist in Spotify – lots of substitutions. The same playlist in Deezer.

Tom spoke very highly about Gene Nacey being the patron saint of beginner Indoor Cyclists. You can hear Gene's ideas here.

Our plan is to discuss his strategies and techniques for teaching effective Foundation Classes to the brand new to exercise participants we will all see the first week in January.
