Book Description

May 19, 1999


Power Pacing is one of the most popular programs in today's fitness industry. The benefits of this type of indoor cycling to overall conditioning and cardiovascular endurance make it one of the best exercise options available to serious fitness enthusiasts. Because Power Pacing is both aerobic and anaerobic, many experts believe it is the ultimate workout. Here is your chance to learn all about this combination of athletic racing, strength training, rhythmic movements, and visualization.

Power Pacing for Indoor Cycling is the first book available on group indoor cycling and gives you step-by-step instructions on how you can benefit from these nonimpact, full-body workouts. Choose from 11 workouts and 30 drills that vary in intensity and are based on your personal fitness goals. Throughout the book you will find exercise instruction, motivational tips, and sample programs based on real-life experiences from highly acclaimed instructors.

The book features 113 photos showing you safe and correct cycling techniques to maximize endurance gains. You will also learn 48 strength exercises specially designed for indoor cycling to give you a full-body workout and overall conditioning. Furthermore, the book covers mind-body training and visualization, a combination unique to Power Pacing since most other fitness trends tend to fail to keep the body and mind inspired.

Whether you're looking for a great new way to stay in shape, cycle year-round, or just want to add a little variety to your workouts, Power Pacing for Indoor Cycling has all the information you need. Use it to create a custom fitness program tailored to your individual needs.

2.0 out of 5 stars wanna buy a Keiser stationary bike?, July 23, 2004
This review is from: Power Pacing for Indoor Cycling (Spiral-bound)
The book is pretty basic and does a great job of pushing Keiser products. If I would have glanced through it in a bookstore instead of ordering it on-line, I would have had the jist of the material in less than 3 minutes and left the book on the shelf. There not enough focus on actual workout programs (I only count 7 in the book, 2-25 min, 3-40 min, and 2-1 hour plans) and a lot more focus on weight use ON the stationary bike. The title says "complete workout programs for high-level fitness" however my light/typical workouts are about 1 hour. Since there are only 2 programs for this duration, indoor training will get very dull, very quick. In short, look elsewhere for training programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, May 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Pacing for Indoor Cycling (Spiral-bound)
I have been a cycling instructor for three years and have enjoyed learning the different techniques from different companies. This book has just endless ideas and programs to use in my classes. I especially enjoyed the section called "Cycle Sculpt" which is using the Kis Kory Bike Band with the bike. I've been using the concepts with my private clients. They just love it! Since I work at home I enjoy all the ideas to use on my stationary bike too. I never relazied there could be so much diversity on a stationary bike.
