Selene Yeager Article Quotes Allison Westfahl of Moxy Development Team
Hello Everyone! Thanks for reading my blog!
It's nice when the blog seems to write itself (meaning the inspiration comes to me and I can just put something of value out to all of you quickly).
As you know, Moxy has a Development Team staffed with exercise experts from all over the country. One such expert is Allison Westfahl, and exercise physiologist from Boulder, CO, and someone I have talked about in previous posts.
The article appears on bicycling.com and it describes something I have been very interested in for myself lately, core training. Allison is quoted in the article, and she makes an interesting point - that her core exercises, if utilized at the end of a workout, can really help in clearing lacate from the athlete's system (and don't we all want that?).
Enjoy the article, it's short and to the point. It's written by Selene Yeager.

And, of course, thanks again for reading my blog. I recently made a connection through my blog from someone in Perth, Australia!

Inside Triathlon Magazine Article - Checking Your Intensity
Hello Everyone - and thanks for reading my blog...
I don't expect a lot of traffic on this post. Sure - it's small - but the link I put in (below) really hits home with the Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor.
The gentleman who it's about - Mr. Neal Henderson from the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine in Boulder, Colorado - talks about the role exercise intensity plays in the optimization of the athlete's workout time and effort. Never have I seen an article that explains better (although it get's a bit technical) the role of low intensity workouts for even the highest performing athletes.
Note that he talks about all the right metrics, but metrics that are hard to capture: VO2Max and
Lactate. Moxy can provide so much mobility to the assessment that these two just can't accomplish.
Enough for now - I will let it stand on it's own merits. However, for you hardcore athletes that actually read the article - please send me your comments, or give me a call!!!
Thanks again for reading my blog!

Another Moxy Milestone - Triathlon
Aaron Madsen
This weekend Aaron (from our Development Team - see www.moxymonitor.com) will be participating in a Triathlon - and will be the first to wear Moxy in such an event. I spoke with him about it briefly today, and he's planning to mount the wrist watch monitor on his bike handles so all he has to do is peel off his wet suit after the swim, attach the sensor to his quad under his compression shorts, and take off on the bike portion of the race. During the bike race he's able to gradually move his GPS and Moxy wrist watches to his arms so he's ready for the running portion of the race.
He's also able to do this because our technical team found a way to expand the memory capabilities on the sensor so that we can store around 4.5 hours of SmO2 data. Can't wait to graph Moxy data plotted with his GPS data.
Way to go Aaron - hope everything goes well for you and for the Moxy sensor.

5K Performance, Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor Debut, Interbike 2012
Hey everyone! Thanks for reading my blog.
Increasing Performance
Had a great day yesterday. I ran a 5K race in my home town. It was a fairly flat course by any standard, and the weather was PERFECT! There was no sun, cool temps, somewhat of a threat of rain, so my chances of getting too hot were slimmed down dramatically. I ran a personal best, cutting over two minutes from my Memorial Day race time. I think the interval training I talked about in a previous post is paying off. In fact I'm looking forward to doing an endurance run today!
Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor Debut!
I was also quite excited (and very surprised) to see that the Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor was present at the race and being worn by two runners (myself being one of them). The other runner approached me after the race and we were able to exchange observations about our SmO2 numbers and general comments about how the device is working. Both of us wore the device before warm-ups, during warm-ups, during the race, and during warm-downs. It's interesting to see how the numbers follow the activity.
Interbike 2012
Roger (my partner at Fortiori and inventor of Moxy) and I are making plans to attend the 2012 Interbike Conference in Las Vegas, September 19-21. Here's their description of the show:
"Interbike is the premier cycling trade event in North America with more than 750 companies representing more than 1,200 brands - a one stop opportunity to connect with the entire industry, discover emerging trends and learn new business ideas at Interbike University. Pick your passion and find your people. From BMX to Triathlon, to OutDoor Demo and beyond. Interbike is more than just about the companies attending, it's about the company you'll be keeping. And it only happens once a year. Come for the Culture, Stay for the Show."
I will keep you posted on what happens at Interbike.
The Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor development team (www.moxymonitor.com) is driving hard to get the product to market, and get this tool into the hands of athletes that would benefit from seeing directly and instantaneously what is happening in their muscles during workouts. Maximizing the efficiency of their workout, and maximizing the progress towards their performance goals, will always be our priority. Also, check out the developers forum for updates from real users of the device - it's in the Forum tab on the www.moxymonitor.com web site.
As always - thanks for reading my blog.
