I have always been a fan of cycling videos in my Indoor Cycling classes. I tend to do a fair amount of my low zone work inside, even during the summer months, on various indoor bikes or trainers and I totally love the distraction. Bike-O-Vision was a fresh new take for me in that the videos do not have cyclists or any type of dashboard. This is truly just eye candy to get your mind off of the hours of work that you have ahead. The creative inspiration of Jan Hunter is evident in the videos that he produces and they have over 71 titles.
Additionally, Bike-O-Vision has recently release their streaming service on Vimeo which is an amazing way to try their products and always have fresh scenary on hand.
Your students are looking to you for help reaching the gateway.

If you can measure it you can improve it. That's a big part of Indoor Cycling 2.0 where we use measuring tools to help us improve physically. When I saw that there was a device that can measure both the quality and quantity of sleep you get I had to know more about the Zeo Sleep Monitor.
The people at Zeo Inc. introduced me to The Sleep Doctor, Dr. Michael Breus and he joined me to discuss how your sleep can be improved and with it, your athletic performance. They were kind enough to provide me with one of their sleep monitors to use and I will posting my observations in the future.

Happy New Year!
I don't think I have done this before. I'm going to suggest that you forward this interview on to your participants & fitness friends to hear. It's a compelling story of the importance of wearing and using a Heart Rate Monitor + an excellent example of being your very own medical advocate!
Imagine you are married to an IronMan distance endurance athlete. You learn that instead of flying off to compete in his next IronMan Triathlon, your husband is scheduled for open heart surgery. During his recovery and subsequent training he becomes an avid Heart Rate Monitor user but is frustrated by his monitor's inconsistency. So you find and begin distributing a product that will make his heart rate monitor perform like it should. I does. So well in fact that it leads to a second open heart surgery, preventing a certain heart attack.
I have been using ChestLick for about a month now and can attest to how well it works and how cleanly and easily it goes on.
ChestLick is a newly-developed, state-of-the-art, athletic heart rate monitor spray. ChestLick is used to ensure that your heart rate monitor is able to immediately and accurately receive the signal from your chest strap. Because ChestLick is so effective and unique, there are worldwide patents protecting the formula! This formula is non-residue, non-staining, and hypo allergenic! This same electrolyte spray is used in hospitals around the world.
