Moxy Monitor Warmup Protocol

The Moxy Monitor Warmup Protocol Ensures a Better Ride!

 

The Moxy Monitor gives cyclists a better window into their body, and how the body responds to intervals and recovery. When we use the Moxy for warmup observations, we end up with a higher saturated muscle oxygen (SMo2), and a higher Total Hemoglobin Count (ThB). You want this higher SMO2 and ThB, because it is the electrical equivalent of “Volts”, and “Amps”, on a battery. With Watts, you have a more complete picture!

My wife, Tracy Christenson, was the model for this video, and after the warmup, she performed two 6-minute intervals, just below her predicted Functional Threshold Power. The Moxy Monitor’s SmO2 and ThB information provided there was also very instructional.

Watch the Video to learn more.

Using Xert to Show an MD Why You Think There’s Something WRONG With Your Heart.

Xert Metrics Can Show You When Things May Be Wrong Beyond Means Which You Can Control.

Today’s Xert Daily Ditty is really an interview where one of my long-time clients, who is also a teammate and friend, explains how he knew something was wrong when he saw his Xert XPMC metrics dropping. He tried everything. Intervals, sleep, switching days for lifting weights, all of it. But when he took his Xert charts to his doctor, they were alarmed enough to realize that this needed attention. Well, Bingo, Bango, Bongo, he and his doctor were able to perform MICROSURGERY to fix his problem, BEFORE he had another heart attack!

Watch the video here:

Don’t forget – we’re hosting a WEBINAR on Saturday, January 30th, 2021, at 1200 hours  so don’t hesitate to Register and Hop On! We’ll be reviewing my 5MMP Record attempt, which is the culmination of about 9 weeks of Progression!

ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!
