If you are a cyclist (beginner or avid) and are looking for some great new riding profiles this is the book for you. Where's your focus?...Your heart, of course!! Proper training of your heart rate will get you where you want (need) to be. If you succeed in completing ALL 50 workouts you will have improved the three abilities necessary for successful riding: Endurance, Strength, and Speed. You will learn to control your heartrate, push your lactate threshold and reduce recovery time. Effective riding will lead you to more and more riding...Buy it! (P.S. Spinning instructors - this is awesome!)

5.0 out of 5 stars This training program is for me!, August 14, 2001

This review is from: The Heart Rate Monitor Log Book for Outdoor or Indoor: A Heart Zone Training Program (Heart Zone Training Program Series) (Spiral-bound)

I have recently started to enjoy recreational cycling for fitness. I ride both on-road and off-road and up until now I was just going out for a ride most days without a training plan or a real purpose to my rides, not understanding why some days I felt good and other days were a hard slog. While I am definitely getting results, I know that I am not optimizing my training.

I read through this book in a couple of days and can't wait to begin putting into practice many of the things I learned. What made this particularly appealing to me is that I am both a "gadget-head" by nature and also enjoy measuring and monitoring things. This book has shown me how to tie these things into my training to help me plan, execute and monitor my fitness program.
