This is an instructional book for a cyclist's training philosophy based on the heart rate monitor. Beginning and intermediate cyclists can use this no-nonsense training philosophy based on the heart rate monitor to build a personal and practical plan to realize their fitness goals and increase their enjoyment of the sport. More than just a book on heart rate monitors, ''Heart Zones Cycling'' is a highly individualized training philosophy for beginner to intermediate cyclists. Beginning with the lifestyle and unique profile of the rider, Sally Edwards and Sally Reed have broadened their approach to cycling in this new book - a complement to ''The Heart Rate Monitor Book for Cyclists''. Edwards and Reed were the first to build a training program around the heart rate monitor. Heart rate monitors have become increasingly sophisticated and even more accessible to athletes of varied experience. ''Heart Zones Cycling'' fills the need for an entry-level book for riders of all body types and ability levels, incorporating technology as a tool for maximizing enjoyment of the sport, and ultimately giving people a means to personalize their fitness with a dynamic and practical plan for training.
