If you have an avid cyclist on your Christmas gift giving list then you should consider purchasing an indoor bike trainer. The benefits of an indoor bike trainer might seem obvious to those who understand them well and know what to look for but if you don’t know what a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine even is then it might seem overwhelming.
I know what you’re thinking, another treadmill right. You buy an expensive piece of equipment that never really works quite right or feels just right and it ends up sitting in the corner and not being used. The cool part about an indoor bike trainer is that you use your own bike to use it. The same road bike that you ride on the street, you can lock into this trainer and use it to ride. So the seat, the pedals, the riding position will all be just like riding on the street. This is a much more desirable setup than say an exercise bike like at the gym.
An indoor bike trainer typically folds flat and is easy to store under the bed when not in use or many riders just leave them set up in a spare room or corner of the house during the winter so that it is ready to go when needed. There are a number of different kinds of indoor bike trainers including Mag trainers, Fluid trainers and Wind trainers. These all look for the most part very similar but they have some important subtle differences in the way they operate. The specifics of each are beyond the scope of this article but you can find a link to some reading material at the end of this article that will explain it in detail.
Our absolute favorite bicycle trainer is the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine. It is not the cheapest unit available but not the most expensive but in our opinion it is the best. The Kurt Kinetic is a fluid trainer and features a stable base to load the bike on, it’s quiet and will allow you to ride while watching TV and it has a great road bike feel. It rides very similarly to what your bike would feel like going down the road. Many of the other trainers will NOT do this. They will give you a workout but they don’t feel quite right.
So before I conclude, I would simply say that if you want to know more about indoor bike trainers then check out the links at the bottom. You can find indoor bicycle trainer information and you can also find some outstanding deals on Kurt Kinetic bike trainers.

Even if there are so many ways to achieve successful shar pei training, some owners, more particularly those who are inexperienced, are having doubts with regards to training their pets on their own. They are afraid of making big mistakes that could possibly compromise their goals of having a well behaved Chinese shar pei.
If you are one of those owners who feel like you do not have enough capability to train your dog what he is supposed to know, you never have to feel hopeless. You can always hire a dog trainer to help you with your dilemma. When you consider hiring a dog trainer, just remember one thing – look for a reliable one. You may want to avoid people who are claiming that they are the best yet they do not know what they are talking about.
Here are some factors to consider when looking for a trainer to help you with shar pei training:
Knowledge of breed characteristics.
Knowing the breed’s recognized size or coat variety is not enough knowledge. In addition to the pet’s physical characteristics, a dog trainer should have a wide understanding of the breed’s temperament, body language, health and how that particular breed responds to various situations. A dog cannot literally tell their humans what they feel or what information they want to convey hence it is very important that a trainer knows how to read the dog’s body language. Like for example if the dog doesn’t want to pass a certain road when going out for walks, it could be that there is something in there that scares him or he has threatening experience on that area. Failure to provide proper action to this can cause further issues such as aggression.
Experience and knowledge about shar pei training.
Since there is no certification required to be a dog trainer, it helps if potential dog trainer has enough experience in doing his thing. Observe his class and pay particular attention on how he handles and interacts with the students and dogs. Check out the equipment like the collars he used. Is he using chokes or pinches during a beginner’s class? Shar peis may be known as powerful guard dogs but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they would not respond to positive training. Furthermore, interview his past and present clients. A happy client would definitely be delighted to share to you his experiences with that potential trainer.

Hopefully by now you will have read and digested some of part 1 and why kettlebell training should be an integral part of your strength and conditioning for endurance events. In part 2 we will cover selection of a kettlebell and weight, and cover further exercises which will aid you in your strength training.
Kettlebell selection
When choosing a KB it comes down to an individual’s choice and much has been written covering this subject.
The KB should fit comfortably in the hand and easy to grip, with the handle being smooth, the horns rounded not angular and the distance from the bell to the handle around 6cm’s.
I personally use KB’s provided by optimal life fitness or Jordan’s as these fit the above criteria and are averagely priced. Whether you want cast iron, solid, rubber, vinyl dipped is entirely your choice.
Weight wise it is widely recognised that female’s starting out should use between an 8kg – 12kg KB and med 16kg-20kg KB. Again this is down to experience with KB’s and current fitness levels.
The main point to remember is that the KB will work your body as an entire unit and not isolate muscle groups (unless used for this purpose) so starting with the above suggested weights until the technique is mastered is sound advice. Please don’t purchase any of the so called fitness belles which range from about 2.5kg to 7kg as you will quickly find that these are of no use to you in any capacity apart from a doorstop.
Conventional exercises
These can be used as part of your training and are widely used by athletes with Kb’s.
The basic’s are:
Tricep extension
Bicep curl
One arm row
And are utilised the same way as a normal dumbbell, beware though that the KB does hang as dead weight and is harder to control compared to a balanced Dumbbell. We will add some more isolation exercises later.
The swing
Once you have mastered the basic Kb techniques, you can look to progress onto other exercises; one thing that I as a coach and KB user advocate is the turn method of swinging.
Many people use the standard version (American) which places a lot of pressure onto the front deltoid and users/athletes tend to try and lift rather than swing the KB.
The thumb method basically is turning your thumb to the rear (thumb to bum) as the Kb swings through your legs. This method allows for better control and utilises the rotator cuff muscles, triceps and deltoids to be incorporated more and ensures that the athlete “snaps out” from the hips utilising the PKC (posterior kinetic chain) and ensures the bell swings rather than being lifted.
Most Kb movements start from the swing and can be completed using one or two Kb’s below is some of the basic exercises.
Fundamentals.
1. Double handed swing
2. Single hand swing
3. Alternate hand swing
4. The clean (rack)
5. The High Pull
6. The swing snatch
7. Military Press
8. See Saws.
9. Front Squat
10. Conventional dead lift
These exercises must be practiced and perfected before moving onto additional exercises, I have tried to include what I feel are the better versions for triathletes, and have tried many and varied versions with Team T.O.D over the past year.
Progression
1. Arrowhead swing (double swing to overheard)
2. Saxon side bends
3. Diagonal snatch
4. Reaching Lunge (front, side, rear)
5. Stair Squat
6. One arm Scot’s press (squat press)
7. Windmill
8. Turkish get up (lunge style)
9. Split jerk
10. Push Press
The above list is not exhaustive either are the different types or amounts of KB exercises out there,
However the above and the exercises listed in this blog are as I said what I as a coach and triathletes from Team T.O.D who have used the KB’s as an integral part of there training consider to be the better ones.
If there are any out there we have missed or are considered to be better than those listed please let me know and I will try them out.
Conventional exercises have briefly been covered but we will add some more to the list which can be beneficial to your strength programme and should e incorporate as part of it and not used as stand alone exercises.
1. Bench press
2. Calf raise
3. Thumbs up press up
4. The Fly
5. Straight arm pull over
6. Bent arm pull over
7. Front arm raise
8. Jowett tricep kickback
9. Side press
10. Bent press
When it comes down to sets and reps for any of the exercises listed, this again is down to specifics and what the outcome of your session is to be.
Predominantly we as a team tended to opt for between 12-15 reps of a set, and also conducted timed circuits of 5 minutes with 30 seconds of an exercise and fifteen seconds rest, completing as many reps as possible in that time for each exercise, this also lends the body to metabolic conditioning which is a another subject in its entirety.
Looking forward to part three we will cover more complex moves for the triathlete.
