The music in this video is fantastic, but I can't figure out who does it. Can you help?
Yes, I'm a closet motorcycle fan. Take a listen and tell me this wouldn't be fantastic for your class…
I found a one minute sample here but I want the whole .mp3

You heard about the ZEO back on Podcast #86 and now Lance Armstrong's Radio Shack Pro Cycling Team is using the ZEO to measure and hopefully improve the quality and amount of sleep each rider is getting.
Michael Bruno Acquires Star Trac
From http://www.bryankorourke.com
Consolidation in the fitness and wellness equipment business continues as Star Trac, a global leader in the commercial fitness industry, announced today that Michael Bruno and Star Trac signed an agreement whereby Bruno will purchase the controlling interest in Star Trac’s parent company. This will strengthen the company’s ability to provide the product innovation, quality, reliability and customer service that have been the Star Trac brand legacy since 1988. The parties expect to close within two business days. Financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
Bruno, a highly respected fitness industry veteran for more than 20 years, also has holdings that include Stairmaster (which Schwinn is a part, John) based in Vancouver, Washington and Land America, a manufacturing firm in China that builds high-end consumer and commercial fitness equipment. His reorganization plan for Star Trac focuses on company continuity and aggressive streamlining.
Here is the official Press Release from Star Trac
Michael Bruno is also the CEO of Fit Dragon International, LTD., a British Virgin Islands company that purchased the assists Schwinn earlier this year.
I wonder what is going to happen with this?
Schwinn is pushing hard to get their Schwinn AC “Authentic Cycling” Performance cycles with power ready and Star Trac has yet to introduce a bike with power. Will we see some co-branding of the Schwinn cycle as a Spinner cycle with power in the near future? Will there continue to be two brands?
More on this as it develops.

That's my answer whenever someone asks me; “how many Indoor Cycling classes should I be taking each week?” And now there is a new study that confirms this, particularly for middle aged women.
From the LA Times – Women should exercise an hour a day to maintain weight, study says
The recommendation is aimed at women who don't want to diet but do want to avoid gaining weight. Some experts say to take it with a grain of salt….
The 60-minute-a-day recommendation, released online Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Assn., is aimed at women of normal weight who don't want to diet but do want to avoid gaining weight over time. Most Americans gain about 1.5 pounds a year between age 25 and 55. Read the rest here.
You may consider sending this to the people in your class along with your class schedule.
