I'm seeing a strong YES here.
Jennifer and I want to extend a big THANK YOU to all 500+ of you who completed the survey, offered suggestions and volunteered your help !
Next we will be deciding on the Where & When.
We will announce the location and date as soon as we have secured a place to host the conference.
So if your indoor cycling students eat your fruits and vegetables, expose yourself to adequate sunlight, get plenty of sleep, and stay well hydrated, their body shouldn't really need a supplemental source of vitamins and minerals, right? Wrong.
Here are 5 powerful reasons that you explain to your students about why they need to take a multi-vitamin, no matter how healthy their lifestyle may be.
Tom Scotto provides this Audio PROfile for our ICI/PRO Members.
RPMx is designed to help riders adapt to higher legs speeds and promote a higher average cadence. The intensities will range depending on how developed a rider’s pedal technique is and how relaxed they remain throughout the drills. Riders with good pedal technique, who remain relaxed, will be able to maintain the various cadences at a lower perceived effort. Complete RPMx PROfile here.
You can download the special music Tom uses for this class here.
Here's your Spotify PRO/Playlist! Deezer. We have made every attempt to replicate the original playlist. In some instances the tracks specified were unavailable in Spotify. When necessary we have substituted individual songs of similar length and tried to maintain the Instructor's intent.

Jennifer and I would like to take our community of Indoor Cycling Instructors beyond the “virtual” – we want to meet you!
So how about an IndoorCycleInstructor.com conference?
We have lots of questions:
Where to hold it? When works best? Who will be there? What would we offer? And finally, how will we actually pull it off?
I created a short survey and I would appreciate everyone completing it.
Even if you couldn't or wouldn't attend, please complete the survey. ( There is only one question if your answer is NO )
When if comes to fiber, the benefits are numerous, but the simple fact is that most of the people in your class are probably not getting enough of it, although they will most likely think that they are getting enough.
Nine time out of ten, I’ll perform a nutritional analysis on an individual who tells me they’re “eating their fiber”, and this consists of a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, a small salad with lunch, and some roasted veggies with dinner. With all the benefits that fiber gives, there’s no excuse not be eating more of it. Unfortunately, it’s a rare person that has time to actually count how many grams of fiber they’re getting, so general recommendations make a lot more sense.
Not that your class participants have to stock their refrigerator with wood chips, dump a gallon-size ziplock bag of flax seed on their morning cereal, or stroll around chewing on a crumpled wad of paper, but proper fiber intake *is* important – and offers free health benefits that shouldn't be ignored. If they can decrease how much they spend on health care, increase the benefit of their exercise routine, and feel more energy and less stress, then they should take that extra step to hunt down some fiber! In case you want some pointers on how your class can get more fiber, at the end of this article, I'll explain how I get mine — but first, you’ll need to explain the benefits to your class. Here is what you can tell them: the 5 rock solid reasons to eat fiber.
In the last article of this series, you learned about the importance of water. But ultimately, it doesn’t matter how much water your students are drinking if they are not consuming adequate electrolytes.
When you consider the fact that over 75% of athletes are deficient in magnesium, – an electrolyte that is crucial for muscular contraction, the pacemaker activity of the heart, and muscle repair and recovery — it becomes pretty easy to understand why so many individuals just aren’t able to perform to their desired capabilities during indoor cycling class, and why they just don’t recover properly afterwards.
So what is the best way to explain electrolytes to your indoor cycling class?
In order to educate you on electrolytes, I have actually prepared a special slideshow, entitled “6 Things Water Can’t Give You”.
You can access this slideshow, along with the crucial notes that accompany it, at the following URL:

If you’re lucky enough to have a project in your indoor cycling room, you can even show this slideshow to your class during warm-up and cool-down! Enjoy.
