![Use first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) to assign heart rate training zones Use first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) to assign heart rate training zones in your spinning classes](https://www.indoorcycleinstructor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/VT1-VT2-chart-400x240.png)
Recomended by ACE - The American Council on Exercise
I asked Master Instructor Tom Scotto for his thoughts on Part 1 - Part 2 and Part3 of Is a 20 Minute Threshold Field Test realistic for your class?
Specifically I wanted to discuss the third article where I introduced the Two Threshold / Three Zone (2T/3Z) Heart Rate training system. This is the system that ACE is recommending to Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors.
This interview ran a bit long so I have split it into two parts. (my preference is to keep each Podcast to around 20 minutes when possible)
Love to know your comments on this.
- Does the Two Threshold / Three Zone Heart Rate training system make sense to you?
- Would you be willing to try it in your class?
- Do you see this as a better of worse alternative to what you are using now?
