I didn't know if there was something similar to do for cycling to help control both my breathing and my heart rate.
I think you will love it. It is just a cardio workout, no intervals, but if you do the breathing the way he leads you, it is not easy (maybe it would be easy for all the yoga folks, etc, who have been doing real breathing for a long time, but for me, it is not easy). You do get a lot of practice doing a nice 90rpm for 90 minutes. Also, the way he leads it, you also get guidance on stretching the spine with each breath, etc. I really like it.
I ordered the 3-disk pack...one for walking, one for running, one for cycling.
