Use the MOXY Monitor to Dial in Your Cycling Warm-Up
How to Use the MOXY Monitor to Dial in Your Cycling Warm-Up and Spot Interval Fatigue Use short, sharp efforts to drive muscle oxygen down, then ghost pedal until you hit a higher active saturation. Higher ceilings, higher floors. The MOXY Monitor is one of the fastest ways to see what your legs are actually […]
The Moxy SmO₂ Sensor: What It Is, How It Works, and How It Makes You Faster
Unlock the secrets of your muscles with the Moxy SmO₂ sensor! Gain real-time insights into your muscle oxygen levels during every ride, allowing you to train smarter and recover better. Say goodbye to guesswork as you monitor your SmO₂ alongside power and heart rate. Whether refining endurance or mastering recovery, this tool optimizes your performance. Harness the power of SmO₂ and elevate your cycling game—your body will thank you!
SMO2 Levels and Base Training
When it comes to cycling, many believe that hard training is the key to speed. However, what if riding easier while tracking your muscle oxygen levels could make you stronger? The Moxy SmO₂ sensor measures the oxygen in your muscles in real time, helping optimize your training. Learn how understanding your SmO₂ can boost endurance, enhance recovery, and improve performance. Ready to ride smarter and get stronger? Explore the muscle oxygen data and unlock your cycling potential!

Fitness HRV software Release 0.17
Fitness HRV Now Includes Moxy SmO2 Values My work with Dr. Bruce Rogers and Mr. Stuart Lynne is continuing to show steady progress. Last month, I revealed the Alpha version of Fitness Dashboard. Fitness HRV is software that we are building to identify training intensities below VT1 (Ventilatory Threshold), and above VT2 (Traditional Threshold). The […]
Billat 30-30’s – Part Two
“Billat 30-30’s are intervals that require a hard effort for 30 seconds, followed by an easy recovery for 30 seconds. Over time, the body ends up playing ‘catch-up’, through heart rate, breath frequency, demand for oxygen at the muscular level, and a buildup of lactate in the system.
We can see this buildup through lactate testing, which is invasive and cumbersome, but we can also see it through SmO2 values, as muscles de-saturate and re-saturate. Lactate is getting processed back into energy, but sometimes the demand for oxygen is greater than the body’s ability to provide it. “
SmO2 (Saturated Muscle Oxygen) From Two Locations During Billat 30-30 Intervals
This is a chart from PerfPro Analyzer 2021 (Beta). PerfPro Analyzer continues to be my favorite workout and programming tool. It has the best display, the most customizable options, and Dr. Skiba’s Metrics are PUBLISHED and PEER REVIEWED. This cannot be said about other “Cycling Fitness” Platforms or their AstroTurf PhD’s. Remember, “In God We Trust, All Others Bring Objective, Peer-Reviewed, Published Data With Valid Hypotheses!”
Specifically, look at the two lines on this graph. The Upper Line is my SmO2 value from a Moxy Monitor placed on my Left Lateral Deltoid. The Lower Line is an SmO2 Moxy Monitor placed on my Right Vastus Lateralis. This image is from my warmup.
Base Ride Analysis Using Published Science
“In the first part of the video, you can see FatMaxxer being screencast from an Android to the PC window. The second screen is the Vo2master software, which is being screencast to the PC using LonelyScreen app. The rest of the information is being presented through PerfPro Studio. Post-ride analysis was done using PerfPro Studio, PerfPro Analyzer Beta, and Runalyze.”
