Okay, today is one of those rare occurances when I replayed the same track list from this past Thursday's class. I used to do it all of the time until I realized that many of those taking the 7:00am Thursday morning class also took the 9:30am Saturday morning class. So, since then, I have tried to mix it up more often. I really make an effort to NOT play the same track list 2 classes in a row (at the same time period). However, after asking by show of hands how many people were there in class today that were also there in class this past Thursday and determining that the number was rather low, I decided to play the same cd again. Besides, it was full of new music, I spent a lot of time putting it together, and I really enjoyed riding to it. I hope everyone else did!

See you in class next time! (and to a different track list!) ;o)

In good health,

tommy

Red Line Ride featured as a Case Study on Suunto's International Website!

As most of you who have taken one of my classes are aware, we are using a new technology from a company called Suunto in the Red Line Ride, a heart rate based training program currently offered at Crunch. Suunto is a world-wide company specializing in sports precision instruments that help athletes at all levels analyze and improve their performance. Crunch was the first place in the world where this program was offered as part of an indoor cycling class.

If you haven't heard, the Red Line Ride is where you can purchase or loan a heart rate monitor from Crunch, wear it during a Ride (indoor cycling) class, and see your heart rate projected on a screen at the front of the class (under a nickname so no one else has to know exactly what you are doing!) It is an excellent way to see how your heart rate is really affected by the activity that you are doing during a Ride class. You can see your heart rate go up and down. You can see the zone or percentage range of your estimated maximum heart rate in which you are working. You can get an idea of how many total calories you burn in a class.

Suunto recently contacted me and had me provide them with answers to their questions as well as my opinions on how the program was going. Suunto has featured this information about Crunch's Red Line Ride as a case study on their website. Be sure to check it out to learn more about one of the most exciting classes currently offered at Crunch on Sunset!

This morning I replayed the track list made up of Colin's requests for his birthday spin a couple of weeks ago. It mixes a little of the new with a lot of the old...and by old I am referring to the music...not Colin's age...however, some of the music choices would lead one to believe that he is...well...i'm just sayin'...
