Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Heart Rate Monitor Book for Outdoor and Indoor Cyclists: A Heart Zone Training Program (Heart Zone Training Program Series) (Paperback)
If you are serious about reading and following this program, buy yourself a heart monitor for the cyclist with features for cadence, altitutde and Watt output (HAC4 from ciclosport was most price efficient for me with all the features) learn how to use it then read this book. In this excellent publication she explains the 5 heart training zones and what each zone does for the heart. She stresses training a certain amount of time or percentage of the work out in each zone. I have kept a diary as the author has highly recommended to every athelete and this has helped me plan my work out accordingly and effectively raising my preformance substantially. Since I cycle to work every second day, I read the chapters about outdoor training first.Afterwards I read the chapters on indoor cylcing, which encourage me to go to spinning classes from time to time to alter my training routine. I found riding on a stationairy bicycle so booooring until I was in a spinning group. You must be disciplined; It worked for me and I am sure it will work for you.
