Let's get them off on the right pedal 🙂
12/29 - download and playlist added.
With the Resolutionists descending en-mass on your club or studio, Cycling Fusion's Tom Scotto and I felt you would benefit from an Audio PROfile that would get them off on the right foot peddle for 2013.
Strong Foundation is a 30 minute class you can teach repeatedly during a weekend open house event or as a regularly scheduled introduction to Indoor Cycling!
This Audio PROfile is the continuation of ICI Podcast #241 — The Resolutionists are coming!
Strong Foundation PRO/Playlist in Spotify - lots of substitutions. The same playlist in Deezer.
Tom spoke very highly about Gene Nacey being the patron saint of beginner Indoor Cyclists. You can hear Gene's ideas here.
Our plan is to discuss his strategies and techniques for teaching effective Foundation Classes to the brand new to exercise participants we will all see the first week in January.

As an FYI, I’ve found that all these techniques we use with the beginners, Resolutionaries etc. etc. are just as pertinent to regular class members and US as instructors.
I’m up early this Boxing Day ….teaching as, apparently, no one on this side of The Pond understands what Christimas is (…..or was in my ex-pat imagination)I’ve already snagged a few cues whilst catching up on topics.
Many thanks to John, Amy, Chuck, Jim, Joan, Christine… (if I haven’t mentioned anyone multiply the *Thanks* X10…..)
