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.

While the New Leaf systems are not easy to find anymore, KORR Medical Technologies (https://korr.com/) does have Metabolic Testing equipment that is available.

How effective are you at coaching to specific levels of exertion? Do you use the RPE Scale? Or some percentage of age predicted maximum heart rate? As an old bicycle racer it was common for me to reach my max heart rate at the end of a sprint. How many of your participants have really been to (and know) their true max?
Communicating my intended exertion level was a real struggle for me until I learned how to describe the specific feelings that relate to the five different Heart Rate Training Zones. Zones based on a understanding of Anaerobic Threshold. But we were still guessing.
This past January (2008) I had a Metabolic Assessment and it really opened my eyes. I was no longer guessing. Now I knew my exact Anaerobic Threshold and my heart rates for each heart rate zone. I had some questions about how to best communicate the value of having a Metabolic Assessment to my Spinning class, so I found another expert.
