10 minutes online at Pearl Izumi. Then all I had to do was wait until UPS showed up with my package. It contained a large percentage of my Christmas shopping for this year 🙂

My Christmas Shoping is almost done!
Working'em at Threshold!
ICI/PRO Member Karen Bernardo is the owner of Carpe Diem Fitness and Wellness in Mississauga, Ontario Canada. Karen taught a Threshold Field Test with great success in her Indoor Cycling class. When she sent us an email describing the full classes she had and how helpful it was to her students, our first thought was; “we need to have her on the Podcast”
Do you have video in your studio? Here are two great videos for running a 20 minute field test for FTP or threshold Heart Rate.

Technical issues make this episode unavailable – sorry.
Tell the truth, you've been waiting for this, haven't you? Maybe you could be the next SubWay Jarred:) 
Twinkie diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds
For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals.

Sleeveless Jerseys = get back in the weight room!
Jade Ng was an exhibitor at our conference and gave me one of their jerseys. I wore it in my class this morning and wanted to thank her publicly and encourage you to learn more about Jade's Finish Strong Training System.
