I’m seeing a lot of these… so be careful what you open
With over 8,000 instructors receiving our weekly newsletter, my email address ends up in 8,000 contact lists. On occasion, I would receive random SPAM emails (see below) from people who's email account had been compromised in some way. Typically one, maybe two a...
Free Music Friday – 11/18
Today I bring you something a bit different. A very intense, fully orchestrated 65 bpm climb that starts out very strong and then backs off at 1:59 for a quick quiet segment (which you know I love for queuing opportunities). We never lose intensity though, even in...
Google Music – is it right for Spinning / Indoor Cycling Instructors?

ICI Podcast 186 Top Power Heads Up Display from Performance IQ
It has taken me a while, but now I understand why many Instructors and Studio/Club owners are resistant to adding Indoor Cycles with power... they don't want a class full of riders, with heads down, totally focused on the what the computer is showing. We all want our...
Today’s The Big Day – Sweat For A Vet!
I know that Debbie Miller and everyone at Project VisAbility have poured their hearts and soles into the preparations leading up to today's big event. I want to wish them all Good Luck... although after seeing the level of preparation Debbie and her team has done, I'm...
Free Music Friday – 11/11/11
I never imagined I would love a song that started out with a piano and Conn electronic organ, but I do. The instrumental layers and vocal harmonies of this AMERICAN (finally!) soul/indie pop band from LA are so interesting. I could suggest most of the songs off the...
