As you've probably noticed, I've been AWOL from this blog for awhile. I'm learning I tend to stretch myself too far - it's time to focus!
- Podcast interview with Janet Toussaint, former MI for Spinning, on how to sell the endurance concept to your students. Janet is a true professional, and a phenomenal motivator.
- Do you talk too much when you teach? How to "shhhh" yourself!
- Recognizing overtraining, a medical perspective.
- Tons of rhythmic, fun jumping song suggestions
- A teleseminar on jumps, how to teach them, music, timing, contraindications, etc. This was quite fun and very informative. The teleseminars will eventually be only for subscribers but it was our first try at this technology and we wanted to share it with everyone.
- Why the 92% ceiling in Spinning? Why I think it's an invalid and artificial ceiling.
- IDEA weighs in on the Biggest Loser. If you've followed me for awhile, you know I'm passionate on this subject! ;-)
- Do you ride at the same intensity as your class? The truth comes out, and I absolve you all of your sins if you've ever done this! (But, it comes with a caveat!)
- Just released, a new audio PROfile from Janet Toussaint on teaching endurance class - her coaching is beyond compare! The cues she provides you will be even better than taking a continuing ed course.
- Audio PROfiles are the cornerstone of the membership (NO ONE is offering this great service). I've already done five audio PROfiles since we launched a month ago: Over/Under Intervals (offered for free as well); Aerobic Loops; 2 Hills, 2 Moods; Step it Up (Intervals); Dueling Intervals. Audio profiles include the voice and cueing of the instructor - what to say and how to say it, giving you far, far more than just a written profile. (In addition to mine, we'll bring you top instructors to describe their favorite profiles).
- articles on using power, zone based heart rate training, mental toughness and much more
- members get the Mixmeister Academy for free - how to quickly become an expert on Mixmeister. (A $20 value).
- coming this week: a handout to give your students on why recovery after HIT is so important, and a list of short motivational cues (1-5 words) to use when you don't want to talk too much, but want to check in with your students as they focus on their ride.
- More handouts on endurance, proper form, RPE, bike fit and more also on the roster for the coming months.
- coming very soon: videos! Great videos on just about anything we can think of in IC!
- coming soon: breaking news that I'm not at liberty to tell you yet - we're just hammering out the details first, and will announce it next month.
