Become A Faster Cyclist

Denise — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:30:08 +0000

“Good training, good massage, good food, and good sleep. Do those four things and you'll be good"

~Lance Armstrong

Lance has inspired all of us. He won the Tour de France a record seven times. He's shown us you CAN come back from a serious illness like cancer and return to top form. And he has taught the cycling world that training, smart training, is imperative to becoming a better cyclist.

With warm weather on the horizon, many cyclists are tuning up their bikes, getting new gear and preparing for another great season on the road. If you would like to hit the road with faster times than last year, this two-hour workshop is for you. We will place a heavy emphasis on strength training to improve your speed and efficiency on the bike. Plus you'll go home with some practical tips for performance eating. Join us!

Spring Training With Denise Druce

Denise — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:09:06 +0000

First day of Spring, and I'm almost jumping out of my skin...are you?

Thousand Calorie Thursday

Denise — Mon, 26 May 2008 17:25:59 +0000

I was taking a Bikram Yoga class yesterday and someone said, "Did you know that you burn 1300 calories in one Bikram class?" It made me realize that there is much misinformation out there about exactly what calories are, how we burn them and how we can balance them to lose, maintain, or gain weight. Example...I weigh 135 pounds. By my calculations, I burn closer to 500 calories in a 90 minute Hot Yoga class. If I were to run at 5 mph, I would burn about 9 calories per minute. Let's say I could actually run at that pace without passing out for 90 minutes (the length of a Bikram class). I would burn a total of 810 calories. I'm not a rocket scientist, but I do know that I would be breathing a lot harder and expending a lot more energy running than doing yoga, even in a very hot room. Don't let sweat confuse you...sweat is water, calories are energy.

On June 12, I will be leading a workshop at The Fitness Club in Foothill Village from 6 to 8pm. Thousand Calorie Thursday will give you all of the information you need to calculate the caloric expenditure of your favorite activities for YOUR body. And, we will each burn 1000 calories over the course of the two-hour workshop! Call The Fitness Club today at 583-0200 to sign up. For more information, contact Denise.

Legs Like Lance

Denise — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:20:38 +0000

“When I was diagnosed with brain, lung, and testicular cancer,
all at the same time, yea, I felt like quitting.
But with the support of my family and friends, I
got back on the bike and won the Tour De France seven times.
I’m sure you’ve got a good reason to quit...” ~Lance Armstrong
