I have two new interviews coming over the next weeks that I feel you will be interested in hearing.
- Learn how you and your class can create usable electricity, from your Indoor Cycling bikes, that can power your club. I interview the founder of egreenrevolution.com about connecting health & fitness with the creation of clean renewable energy.
- The authors of “Perfect Breathing – Transform Your Life One Breath at a Time” join me to discuss how to integrate the most powerful techniques for managing stress, boosting performance, improving health, and increasing emotional intelligence into your personal and professional life, allowing you to more effectively deal with every challenge you face.

A Trojan Virus sent me (and I'm presuming every one of the Innercycling members) an email this morning that had the header: New Private Message at Innercycling Forums: “Your Indoor Cycling Place in Cyberspace!”
DO NOT RESPOND! It is a Trojan Virus and not actually from Innercycling.
There should be a special place in Hell for the people who distribute these viruses.
http://www.innercycling.com/ has been down all morning. I hope that Billy can get everything back up and running without too much trouble.
Here is what it said:

Click Here to learn about LIVE Online Training for Instructor's using MixMeister Express.
MixMeister Express 7 is now for both PC and Mac – but you still can't use AAC Audio files of any type. Students of the MixMeister Express Academy learn how to convert their files from AAC to MP3 in lesson #1
Yep, it's $70.00 but that's better than the $200 Mac users needed to spend for MixMeister Studio. Existing users can upgrade for $19.99.
It's a whole new install so you can keep MixMeister 6 installed and start over with version 7.
I have been playing with for a few minutes and the first cool new thing is it will import a playlist from iTunes. I have always preferred to build my playlists in iTunes instead of MixMeister so I see this is a big improvement.
I will have my full review soon and I will be making changes to the MixMeister Express Academy to reflect the new features.

It gives me (beyond) great pleasure to announce that the state of Vermont will be hosting the 10th Annual Ride for a Reason indoor cycling marathon to benefit the Special Olympics on Sunday, March 21, 2010. The event will be held at the Sheraton in Burlington, Vermont.
Along with myself (STAR 3 Instructor Melissa Marotta, Vermont), Spinning Master Instructors Anthony Musemici (New York) and Angie Scott (Vermont), and STAR 2 Instructor David Means (Vermont), Jennifer will co-lead what will undoubtedly be an inspiring and invigorating six-hour endurance challenge. 150+ riders at last year's event raised nearly $40,000 to support the athletes of the Special Olympics.
To join us all for the big event in Vermont, you can visit http://www.vtso.org/spinning_marathon.php
You can register for the full day (6 hours), put together a relay team to split up the day, or simply register for any number of hours you'd like to ride.

We will find out if 1,000 Spinning Indoor Cycling Bikes will fit in the Target Center
That was the heading of the email I just received.
It continued:
Life Time Fitness is holding a record breaking 2 Hour Spin class with 1000 bikes for the ride! The event will be held March 7th from 11am-1pm in the Target Center Downtown Minneapolis. CEO and Founder Bahram Akradi, along with 4 of Life Time’s top spin instructors, will lead you through what is bound to be a tough but fun 2 hour ride! During the ride you will have the BEST tunes spun by DJ Roberto Costa with various guest appearances that will keep you entertained throughout the ride. In order to participate in this record breaking event, you will need to wear a Life Time Fitness jersey. If you do not own one already, you can order one online or you can purchase the 2010 jersey from me for $49.95. (there's always a catch; John) Look for additional details this week on MYLT.com. Your Group Fitness Department Heads as well as the General Managers of your home club will have sign up and jersey procurement information as well.
Please make sure that you reserve your space for this event AND spread the word!!!! (with 17,000 visitors a month I'm guessing I'm doing more than my share :)
I will update you when I know more….
I'm curious to know, who exactly are “4 of Life Time’s top spin instructors?” Nobody called me 🙁
