I was sitting in the Airport and started thinking about how useful Twitter could be to communicate with my Indoor Cycling Class regulars. Many people set up Twitter to send updates to their phone. I could…
Encourage attendance
Let them know what’s coming next. Give advanced notice of each class profile. Offer words of encouragement. Ask “where has so-and-so been? Anyone seen him?
What are your ideas?
Are you using Twitter to communicate with your class? If so post your ideas for others in the comment section below.
I sleep better knowing that for 17 cents a night, everything I have saved on my computer is fully backed up. All my Indoor Cycling class music, profiles, playlists, files, pictures…everything. When I see the backup status report below, I know that my three year old Dell laptop can fail tomorrow and I will lose NOTHING!
Makes me happy 🙂 They let you try it for free here.
Take a picture of yourself with your class or on your instructor bike. You may want to ask your club manager or one of the kids in the club's childcare to take the picture so no one is left out.

Dr. Alinda Perrine, O.D., M.P.H. and Red Jersey / Master Trainer with Heart Zones USA conducted the Level 1 & 2 Indoor Cycling certification programs I completed during the Active Healthy Living conference this past weekend. I felt the program was very well presented and would prepare a new instructor to teach a very effective class.
Alinda is a true cyclist. She and her husband operate Free Spirit Adventures in Caldwell, West Virginia and she recently completed a “Ride Across America” with another ride planned for next year.
What I liked best was the emphasis on Training (which is measurable) vs. Exercising (which tends to be just wasting your time).
Instructing your participants on how to know if their body is prepared for exercise through a “Delta” test – Listen to the Podcast and see this link for more information.
Proper techniques for conducting sub maximal tests to determine Max or Threshold Heart Rates
Lots of discussion about Heart Rate specific class profiles.
