Live Spotify & Deezer Music Service Training
ICI/PRO member Karin contacted me via email: John, I still haven't gotten around to learning how to use Spotify so I'm not using the profiles yet. Is there any chance you will have a short training call to teach those like me? Wishes for healthy & compassionate...
Free Music Friday 10/11
Not usually drawn to "pop" music, this little tune caught my ear when the stereo was mysteriously left on in my car. I've been using today's Free Music selection as a relief 90 rpm flat road after 12 Tabata intervals. This song has a happy feel and catchy tune...
It’s fall- time to tighten up!
Oh joy, oh bliss, it's fall here in MN (insert sarcasm here). Time to put the self tanner away and pull out the tights. In the past, I would put on my 'cheapo' tights for the first time in the fall, and they would make 'that' sound. You know, the sound of elastic...
Tech Tuesday – Beware of the Chain Icon in Spotify

Free Music Friday 10/4
I subbed John's class tonight and used a new playlist. His class just lit up when this 66 rpm hill came up! It's a great funk tune (Re-recorded and Remastered) from a Cleveland based 80's group. It has that 'I recognize this' familiarity that our classes love. Simply...
Window Framing
Eyebrows. They make us look younger, frame our eyes and we need them to make our facial anatomy look right. Guys- just a quick word and then you can b(r)ow out :). If you have exceedingly bushy, or wiry brows, you can easily groom them with a manicure scissors. My dad...
ICI Podcast 281 – Teach for Peloton Cycle Studio at $500 a class
Peloton Cycle recently raised $307,332 through a Kickstarter project to help fund the design and manufacture their new Peloton Indoor Cycle. Awesome on its own, but they also have plans to live-stream digital classes directly to the user's home from the new Peloton...
