POWER-BASED TRAINING
The concept of training with power for indoor cycling can sometimes seem intimidating or confusing.
However, training with power provides tremendous benefits to the rider. Not unlike the model of working
in pre-determined and individualized heart rate zones, training within individualized power zones (using
Watts) is a similar training concept. The similarities lay in first establishing a baseline starting point,
then determining the correct zones to work in based on the goals of a drill, the workout as a whole or
the needs of the rider. Having a better understanding of power in relation to Watts, gears, RPM and the
physiological response of the body comes with time in the saddle. Once a rider has had a chance to
experience the M3/M3i and the associated features outputs displayed on the computer, specific testing
strategies can be applied. Power-based training provides an objective measure of fitness progress and
is a valuable training tool.
BENEFITS TO TRAINING WITH POWER
Train within specific Watts ranges
Application:
Each drill (work and/or recovery) is completed at a pre-determined and set Watts range.
Train to achieve specific Watts goals
Application:
Repeat a specific drill (e.g., hill drill) at the same Watts range for two to three sets.
Identify gaps in training
Application:
For example, a rider may be strong in short-burst attacks but may be weak during
sustained hills as indicated by power outputs.
Receive metabolic feedback from heart-rate data
Application:
Fatigue, dehydration or low blood sugar may impact heart rate without impacting Watts.
Gain an understanding of individualized power training zones
Application:
Using various power tests to calculate a rider’s various training zones.
Equalize all riders with power-to-weight ratio
Application: Determining an individual’s power output is based on the formula of Watts divided by
body weight in kilograms and not directly calculated as a straight power reading.

POWER ACCURACY — EN957-10 CERTIFICATION
The M3 Indoor Bike was the industry’s first group cycling bike to receive the
prestigious EN957-10 Certification for power accuracy, safety and environmental
friendliness from TÜV Product Services, a European safety organization.
The designation assures that while riding an M Series bike the power numbers
shown in the display are valid, ensuring an accurate workout. Additionally, the
EN957-10 Certification ensures that Keiser’s bike designs have met safety and
environmental standards.
