There's nothing I enjoy more, than giving voice to up-and-coming stars in our industry.
I love giving others the chance to shine!
Since August of 2008, The Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast has introduced dozens of talented people to thousands of Instructors, club/studio owners/managers and industry leaders around the world.
Many of them have leveraged their exposure to grow/develop successful businesses or advance their personal fitness careers.
I felt it was time to find a few more 🙂
With the help and support of some wonderful sponsors, we've created a fun competition to find and (and then promote) some very special Instructors, The Ultimate Instructor Class Profile Contest!
Can you answer YES, to these questions?
Do you take pride in creating innovative class profiles?
Are your classes designed around a specific training purpose?
Do they include a well designed music playlist?
And then, do you deliver your profile like a polished actor or actress on stage?
If you can then we're looking for you!
The top five Instructors will share in over $4,000 in cash and prizes and the top three will be recorded and published for thousands of other Instructors to enjoy 🙂
Please check it out and consider entering your favorite profile between now and May 14th.
Let me know if you have any questions.
John
P.S. This contest isn't open to Master Instructors or other industry educators – only rank and file Indoor Cycling Instructors who go above and beyond the average and are either ICI/PRO members or active, registered members at Pedal-On.com
Santa Says; “It’s time you had a Blink Heart Rate Monitor of your own.”
Today’s PRO/Deal of the Week is the perfect Christmas gift for yourself, your family members or friends planning to start a work out program in 2012.
Sally Edwards says, “The joy of working out to blue, yellow or red cannot be understated,” “it takes the ‘work’ out of heart rate training, is simple to use and gives the user tremendous instant feedback.” A perfect compliment to any weight loss program.
This Blink records all time in zone, calories and works perfectly with the latest two threshold, three zone training system popularized by ZONING’s program in a Can. ZONING is a division of Heart Zones USA.
50% off the Retail price of $84.99. There are only 50 available at this price.
With your Blink heart rate monitor you also get instructions on how to perform the The ‘Can You Speak Comfortably’ Foster Threshold Field Test.
Known as the ‘Gold Standard of Field tests, this assessment will help you discover your (or your students) T1 & T2 thresholds to accurately set when the LED changes colors.
Amy and I are again riding this year's MS 150 with ~4,000 close personal friends. If you are on the ride this weekend listen for Amy's big instructor voice calling “On your Left!” from the back seat of our tandem.
I need to personally thank Chuck Cali with Zoning Fitness for sponsoring me this year. Thanks Chuck!
I'll have limited email access over the weekend and will reply to any requests on Monday. If it's an emergency call me 612-868-0064.
In this post I mentioned that I was using a Blink Heart Rate monitor because I can't see the numbers any more. It's flashing light shows me when I'm below JRA ( T1 or aerobic threshold), between T1 and T2 (T2 is anaerobic threshold) or above T2. Very simple. I like simple when it comes to trying to communicate with my class.
ICI/PRO member Chuck Cali has a fun video he shot as a way for users to learn a very simple assessment of T1 and T2. Except he doesn't call them T1 and T2… Instead he talks about Blue, Yellow and Red. Very simple 🙂
Please watch this and consider if this would be something you could teach on the bike as an introduction to Heart Rate training.
