I love all the changes we are seeing in our classes. As we continue our transition to Indoor Cycling 2.0 I feel it's helpful to remember that many of us are emerging from the “ancient culture” shown in the video below. Gene Nacey made it to promote a very special session he and Barbara Hoots are presenting this weekend… a presentation you can watch online live or via the wonders of video tape đ
I know it's a little early to think about a warm vacation but I just had to post this. Instructor Brenda Moeske learned about Working Fitness Vacations on a Podcast. After talking to Amy last year at the conference Brenda scheduled her vacation to teach for the week at Couples Tower Isle.
She sent this quick email when she got back:
It turned out to be a fabulous week! I taught my last class (group fitness) class this morning. I did group fitness at 9 a.m. and spin at 5:00 p.m. I had some good classes! My participants said I was missing a great view!! They don't have us teach on Friday afternoons and of course Saturday's. What an amazing experience!! My husband has thanked me the entire trip and the hospitality has been wonderful!!! We have already been on the website planning our next one! Thanks again for letting us know about FitPro Travel!!!! See you in a week!
What she means by “See you in a week!” is that she will be at the conference again this year. Just look for the tan – healthy looking Instructor in the front row.
Amy and I have been to Couples Tower Isle a number of times and it's really a beautiful place. We have a whole website dedicated to helping you take a very low cost Working Fitness Vacation just like Brenda did last week. Go to workingfitnessvacation.comÂ
They call them âmean girlsâ. There have been movies made about them and books written about them, and sometimes we have them in our lives. I have one in mine right now, so this song grabbed me this week as I listened to the CD and I have started using it in my cycle class. Guys⌠I am sure there are also âmean guysâ for you in your life too, or possibly you just encounter mean girls as well, and that is plenty for you!
Anyway, The Script and âI Promise You WonââŹâ˘t Feel A Thingâ, from their Science and Faith CD is 4:35 long and 70 rpm. I use it after my warm up as a quick climb, combining long count (32 count at least) in and out of the saddle work and raising our heart rate up to T1 (low zone 3). The lyrics: â I promise you wonââŹâ˘t feel a thing, cause everything the world could throw, IââŹâ˘ll stand in front and take the blow⌠for you⌠for youâŚâ are exceptionally romantic, I know. And no, nobody has offered, nor would I take them up on it, but it is nice to think about. There is a nice instrumental break at 3:00 for cueing opportunities. There is not an official video for this tune, but you can hear it here and see what you think for an early on climb:
And here is a remix of “I Promise You WonââŹâ˘t Feel A Thing” for your free track of the week

Over the past 3 years I have created a bunch of videos. Many were designed for the purpose of helping you quickly learn; how to use this site, solutions for using iTunes, using various types of software, etc…
Unfortunately they were scattered amongst the thousand or so pages we have and some were tough to find đ
You will also find the link up in the navigation bar under the Resources tab.
We add 35-40 new pages of information to the site each and every month. If you ever have difficulty finding something please let me know so I can help! Use this Contact Form for a quick reply
