Sport and Exercise Psychology Expert, Dr. Haley Perlus and I discuss the responses to a question I asked a while back; "What frustrates you as an Indoor Cycling Instructor?" I found that after reviewing the 80 responses I could divide the act of teaching an effective and entertaining Indoor Cycling Class into three categories:
Foundation - class profile, training zones
Presentation - communication and interpersonal skills
Media - music & videos
The majority were related to finding music and playlists. Next were frustrations on finding new class profiles and introducing real training principles into a class.

Dr Alinda Perrine joins me again! We discuss introducing Heart Rate Training to your Indoor Cycling Class and announce the formation of a NuMetrex Instructor Panel. One of the Instructor "testing" opportunities I was hinting about.
Alinda is the Celebrity Coach for NuMetrex and and creator of ZoneX™ Sensible Heart Rate Training.
About NuMetrex Strapless Heart Rate Monitor Clothes -from their site -The NuMetrex line of heart rate monitoring athletic apparel uses innovative “smart fabric” technology that incorporates special sensing fibers directly into the fabric of its garments. Replacing the hard plastic chest straps that rub and chafe against the skin, NuMetrex offers a comfortable alternative with form-fitting shirts and sports bras that sense your pulse and transmit it to a compatible wristwatch or exercise machine.

Video options for your Indoor Cycling class get better every day. In this episode I interview Allen Jones, creator of the epicRIDES series of virtual ride training videos. Allen's videos include a "dashboard" with helpful information about training zones, grade, ride profile, elapse time and where you are on the ride. Check out this sample video.
