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

Sleep, Health and Weight: How Are They Connected?
Early cycling classes. Late nights. Approaching holidays. Fall quarter can be a busy time, and it might be difficult to get enough sleep each night. But it’s important to do so because sleep deprivation affects several factors related to health and weight management. For one thing, sleep deprivation, even short-term, can lower leptin levels. Leptin is a powerful satiety hormone that tells the brain/body it’s had enough food and doesn’t
Music to Mention Week 5
Welcome to week five of Music to Mention. This week’s music to mention is a strenght song that makes groove as I sit here and write this: Treble To The Bass by Swanky Tunes. I use this song for strength work, characterized by a lower cadence (the beat is 128 or 64 rpm) and a heart rate in Mid to High Zone 4 area. This should be hard and questionably

Music to Mention
Welcome to week four of Music to Mention. This week’s music to mention is one of my newest favorite songs for muscular endurance work: Feel It Still by Portugal. The Man.

You’re making exactly the same power standing – as you are seated
“Why do I make less power (fewer watts) standing, then when I’m seated?” This a a great question that we get often. I loved John’s answer, and so I have done a few edits and present it here….. Joey A great questions from one of the riders in a Performance Cycle class. An observation that shows he’s paying attention plus it gives me the chance to clear this up, so
Music to Mention
Welcome to week three of Music to Mention. This week’s music to mention is one of my standby songs for cadence work: Devil Drums by Scooter. We primarily do cadence work for two reasons: 1) To build our cadence (foot speed); and 2) To build muscular coordination. I begin with the first round using a range for the cadence (ie 85-90) and then in the second round I use exact
