Little Falls, NY
Heart Zones Green Jersey Trainers
Joy and Rob Malone aren't your ordinary Trainers. They are also attorneys practicing in the Little Falls, New York area. They work and volunteer at their local YMCA and have become known as crusaders of health and fitness. They know that cardiovascular health is of the utmost importance and they found that Heart Zones gave members control over their own activities, because heart rate is individualto each and every person.
Joy and Rob purchased the Heart Zones Cycling Group Training Program, an 8-week program with a goal to train people to complete a 50-mile ride in early May on the Canalway Trail.
One member, Deb Granchi signed up for the class with her husband, so it would give them something to do together. "It all worked out far better than I expected. I absolutely love it and I never would have imagined that I would have. It's an awesome workout. And, no matter what your fitness level is, we're all doing the same workout, but it's all individually geared toward your heart zone. So, you can have different people in the room and they can have 10 different fitness levels, but we're all working out together in the room doing the same thing."
During the classes, training focuses on endruance, then strength and then speed followed by an outdoor bike ride on Sunday mornings. "It's all very exciting," said Joy. "Training and using the bikes and having the program and having a goal and knowing we'll be outside for a ride. It's a really nice way to spend the winter."
The program's success was recently written up in the Healthy Living New York (www.healthylivingny.com) local publication (April, 2006).
Joy and Rob are planning on attending the Heart Zones Health and Fitness Conference in October, 2006 to get their next level of certification with the goal of becoming Master Trainers for Heart Zones.
