If you've followed indoorcycleinstructor.com for any length of time you know that I'm a huge fan of the 2T/3Z method of Heart Rate training which is the basis for Zoning. That simple Blue/Yellow/Red response from my Blink Heart Rate monitor is (to me) the perfect way to introduce zone based heart rate training into your class.
Here's some proof of it's success - OK it's a bit rough, but Diana presents a powerful truth that Zoning has worked for her in this video. Your students are in your class to lose body fat and Diana losing 100 pounds and finishing the Danskin Triathlon is a testament to the effectiveness of 2T/3Z Heart Rate training.

Just to fill in some of your questions, I met Diana at the Expo before the Danskin Triathlon this past September. She came up to me and said, “I lost 100 pounds following your ZONING program Sally Edwards.” I was impressed until she added to that, “And, the 4 other women who are here with me each lost 100 pounds the same way.” And, I said back, congratulations but there’s more to it than just doning a Blink heart rate monitor, following our federally patented new program, ZONING, Fitness in a Blink and she said yeah, I trained for the Danskin.
The best I can say it is that for the first time, I can explain weight loss in a few words rather than in an hour conversation that always begins with this statement: Losing weight is very complex. The best way I can then explain it is follow the ZONING 3 easy steps and for weight loss it’s 30-60 minutes a day with your Blink flashing moderate Yellow zone color. Let me know if you want to contact Diana … she loves to share more about this complex process called weight loss. Sally Edwards, Founder & Developer, the ZONING program (www.ZoningFitness.com)
Note: Thanks John Macgowan, Founder/CEO of ICI Pro for sharing this with your members – Diana’s story is really powerful.
