Where Cyclists and Triathletes get Faster/Stronger/Leaner/Sooner
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.

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!

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!!!!
Xert has zones that flex with time spent above Threshold. When you bite into HIE, the Xert Dial responds by reducing the band of yellow or orange, and expanding the Purple arc, which is theoretically not possible to surpass. When you do, it’s a BREAKTHROUGH!
But the fascinating thing about this video is that the Vo2 values, during the effort and even into recovery, show how effective this type of workout really is; my Vo2 values stayed ABOVE 80% of Vo2max, for several minutes, and THAT is what improves HIE and “Suffer” ability. Xert properly displays this on the video in the colored arcs. Therefore, you’re looking at the PHYSICS of PHYSIOLOGY!
I use PerfPro on this type of protocol because the graph is easier to read, and it shows me values which I had turned off at the time of recording. The Xert Dial is moved over from the Xert Remote Player, which is a VERY useful tool.
Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to register for the webinar on January 30th at 1200, gmt-8, and we’ll review the 9 weeks of progression, as well as the 5MMP breakthrough effort!
ENJOY THE RIDE!!!
