When the “Fitness Run” Begins – will you be ready to catch a few new students?

They're coming In just 2 days and this is your one chance this year to change their lives. Why not use one of our excellent 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 but some how disappear by March.

So, are you prepared to catch them?

What special class are you planning?

Would a week of ICI/PRO help?

Indoor Cycling Class As One Long Climb – Very Nice!

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 Class, “what is a typical class of John's like?” They would tell you “endurance training with long efforts with lots of load (resistance).” In other words, long climbs! This new Indoor Cycling DVD, Epic Tucson, from Epic Planet is perfect for this type of class. It starts with a short warmup and then up, up, up! The whole climb is over an hour. I used it today (I subbed for Amy so she could sleep in). Because we were not at the top by the end of the official class, I asked “who wants to stay to see the top?” More than half stayed and we finished it. I'm doing it again tomorrow if you would like to come.

Here is the Trailer. You can get your own copy Here

Update: Allen Jones just emailed me with a $10.00 discount off Epic Tucson if you use the coupon code ICI at checkout. Good until Dec 24th 2009

Standing at the edge

Standing at the edge

I call this my Grand Canyon ride. I use the metaphor of standing at the edge, with great discomfort ahead of us and much relief behind us, to help my students understand the feeling of Threshold.

Profile and Playlist Here

Here's your Spotify PRO/Playlist! We have made every attempt to replicate the original playlist. In some instances the tracks specified were unavailable in Spotify. When necessary we have substituted individual songs of similar length and tried to maintain the Instructor's intent. Here's the playlist in Deezer

ICI/PRO Members Giving Back

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 one of those baskets.  If you are involved in a service project like this, send me some pictures and I will post them.
