It's time we demand from medical and health professionals the evaluation, consulting and prescription of exercise training for healthy, active living - with every patient visit. The call to medical and health professionals to get involved in their patients' and clients' physical fitness health is essential to improve consumers' well being. Exercise trumps pharmaceuticals and surgery in most common health situations. Exercise is medicine and this type of medicine is essential to the well being of individuals and the entire health care system. Join the free campaign to make this happen.

Maybe you were unable to attend the Heart Zones Conference 2007 last November in Colorado at the University of Denver. If so, watch excerpts and enjoy the experiences of several attendees. Learn what they learned. You can also scroll through the 50 images (thanks to photographer Charlie Kropf) of participants getting their metabolic VO2 testing, learning how to set their training zones as well as the power of the Suunto Group Training System for indoor cycling. See testing on a CycleOps Club 300 bike as participants learn to measure their power threshold and get fitter and faster on the bike. Visit: Heart Zones International Conference. (Also, why not attend the weekend of Zoners this year - November 7th - 9th, 2008 in Denver?) |

DESCRIPTION: This workout is 35- 65 minutes of challenging riding or a workout on any piece of power-equipped machine (elliptical, rower, stepper). You can do this workout just using a power meter, just using a heart rate monitor, or best, combing the two monitors to "couple" your numbers. The purpose of the Build Your Power ride is to find your heart rate and power output at an "easy" effort level and your power output at a "hard" effort level. The terms "easy" and "hard" are quite often used when riding "naked" or without biofeedback tools like power meters, fitness computers and heart rate monitors. These two definitions - easy and hard - are subjective and are best determined using training tools. This is not a maximum power output workout, nor a maximum heart rate workout. This is a sustainable interval power workout that gives you the best of both - sub-hitting those max numbers and efforts. WORKOUT:
