The author, health and fitness writer Karen Asp joins me to discuss what she describes as the "Five Common Mistakes" made by Indoor Cycling Instructors. Karen also explains what motivated the American Council on Exercise to contract her to write this story.

Beyond fitness and weight management, many of the people in my class are training for some event this summer. Most are tied to a charity fundraiser. The MS 150 is a popular ride here in Minnesota, that happens in July each year.
Could you ask your class two things and let me know the results?
What percentage of your class are planning to participate in a fund raising ride this year?
Does the fund raising become a bigger obstacle than the training?
Why am I asking?
I'm working on some ideas to help create some excitement in your class and at the same time assist riders with their fund raising. Please leave a comment below or send me an email john@indoorcycleinstructor.com

Keiser Master Trainer Suzette O'Byrne and I discuss the initial response to their new correspondence Indoor Cycling certification course. Keiser has recently introduced their new M5 elliptical trainer and have created a certification program so you can bring the cross training benefits of an elliptical trainer into your class. Update: here is a video of the M5 in action - http://www.keiser.com/m5/

I love getting emails like this and wanted to share it with you!
Hi John,
I just wanted to say “hi” and also a big “thank you”. I teach cycle classes in Melbourne, Australia. I was looking at some inspiration for my Cycle classes and found myself totally hooked to your podcasts, which opened a whole new world to me. I've been teaching cycle classes as a part time job. I also teach other classes (Les Mills Bodypump/Combat and boxing). I lost my full time job a few weeks ago and group fitness classes have been my daily job since. I have to say it's been quite a challenge to keep all the workout fresh but most of all to keep up the passion, enthusiasm and fun about teaching classes. I had moments of self doubt whereby I thought I wasn't made for this industry.
I find it very inspiring to listen to all your high profile athletes/master instructor guests talking about their experience and passion about indoor cycling, how they got to indoor cycling and what make them so unique. I have to say having knowledge of this could be intimidating for someone like me who's just a part-time cycle instructor teaching 2 hrs cycling classes a week but at the same time, everyone comes from different backgrounds and that's what make a class experience unique at the end of the day. I guess that's what I'm taking with me before teaching a class.
