Here's the poster promoting Larry “Link” Russell's Zoning Fitness Workshops at his YMCA.
Would like like to make $500.00 for teaching a 2 hour workshop? While at the same time making a huge impact on the fitness of your students?
Larry “Link” Russell is doing just that by conducting Zoning Fitness Workshops at his YMCA.
Zoning Fitness provides everything you need to start profiting from conducting Zoning Fitness Workshops at your club or studio.
Here are some past interviews and articles where you can learn more about the Blink Heart Rate monitor and the 2T/3Z (Two Threshold / Three Zone Heart Rate training zones)
Then Instructor Gregory Ortiz sent me a link for this BlueTooth Music Receiver that's only $20.00 and I ordered one as a Christmas present for myself – I have very simple needs 🙂 The total with shipping was a very reasonable $21.69.
I used it for the first time this morning in class and it worked flawlessly. I don't use any other BlueTooth devises with my iPhone (my previous experience with BlueTooth was with a very finicky BlackBerry) but it was very easy to pair. After a reassuring beep that signaled the receiver was paired to my phone, I fired up Spotify and like magic the music began to play. I ran around the 45 bike room to check if it would lose the connection – it worked everywhere 🙂
Then I remembered; airplane mode, John!
Unless you are interested in having your class interrupted by a call, airplane mode is mandatory when you use a smartphone… but then will BlueTooth still work? It turned out that on an iPhone the BlueTooth setting is separate and functions in airplane mode – I'll check to confirm if this is true on an Android ASAP – Yes it is.
I really like this BlueTooth Music Receiver because it doesn't use batteries. You just plug it in and connect the sound system's cord that would normally plug into your device. With BlueTooth on every smart phone, I see this as a must have accessory for any Instructor who would prefer the option of riding with their class, while keeping control of your music.
Recomended by ACE – The American Council on Exercise
I asked Master Instructor Tom Scotto for his thoughts on Part 1 – Part 2 and Part3 of Is a 20 Minute Threshold Field Test realistic for your class?
Specifically I wanted to discuss the third article where I introduced the Two Threshold / Three Zone (2T/3Z) Heart Rate training system. This is the system that ACE is recommending to Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors.
This interview ran a bit long so I have split it into two parts. (my preference is to keep each Podcast to around 20 minutes when possible)
Love to know your comments on this.
Does the Two Threshold / Three Zone Heart Rate training system make sense to you?
Would you be willing to try it in your class?
Do you see this as a better of worse alternative to what you are using now?
