As you read through this series, remember that the goal is to give you basics of a simple way to teach your indoor cycling class about nutrition — and it is not meant to be a complete primer or university equivalent of Nutrition 101! This means that you can feel free to put your own spin on the information if you want to add more for your class. For example, if you’re into more plant-based protein sources, tell your class about hemp and flax seeds, quinoa, nuts and rice protein. If you are more a paleo-type, introduce them to healthy beef jerky, lamb, or cold-water fish. You can also include discussions about omega-3 eggs, greek yogurt, whey protein and other dairy based sources.
Speaking of omega-3’s, this article is going to cover the essentials of fat!

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.

Dear John, Congratulations, your iMix “ICI/PRO Sport iMIX Electronic” has been published in the iTunes Store at:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewIMix?id=355752720

 ICI/PRO Sport iMIX ElectronicPlaylist Notes: I thought all of us from www.indoorcycleinstructor.com should be posting Sport iMixes of our favorite Indoor Cycling Class music playlists. 8:46 warmup > Pushing West is a great climb to get aerobic and ready for the rest of the class.
If you buy your music from iTunes try creating your own Sport iMix. The Sport iMixes are for fitness related activities. If you use ICI/PRO in the title others will be able to find them.
Does this help?

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.

If you have spent any time training on the road, you have thought this while riding.
I would also suggest adding a pair of hands, pressed palm to palm in prayer 🙂
