• have the JARVIS firmware update to version 36
• have the MD WiFi App updated to version 3.2.0
• have an MD heart rate monitor or other belt that can record RR interval*
• sit still for 3 minutes before the training begins, to monitor the basal level
• sit still for 3 minutes after the training ends, to see the difference from the baseline
• have at least 80% of the data reading available (the App provides this indication by changing the color of the HRV icon during training: RED for insufficient data, YELLOW for average sufficient data, GREEN for sufficient data)**

*The RR interval is the time between one heartbeat and the next, expressed in milliseconds.

**Data reading refers to the optimal heart rate reading while wearing a heart rate monitor.

The new heart rate variability analysis function is included by default for all HTT workouts. But it’s only valid once. In all other cases (repetition of the same HTT workout, self-managed or self-calibrating workout, own workout or workout received from other Coaches), it is available after purchasing a specific package of 20 analyzes from the online shop for €25. It will be up to the user to choose which training to analyze. On the “activities” page of your personal account, you can will see the number of analyzes available.

 

The heart rate variability (HRV) analysis in indoor training with JARVIS smart trainer

“Heart rate variability – explains MD Coach Luca Bianchini – has been a consolidated parameter for quite some time. In recent years, thanks to research and the development of new software, it’s been possible to dig deeper into its characteristics. Adding the heart rate variability analysis in indoor training with JARVIS smart trainer MagneticDays – continues Coach Bianchini – allows you to have an additional evaluation tool on monitoring training and on controlling the athlete’s recovery. The post-training analysis allows you to identify other parameters such as respiratory frequency and / or quantification of the internal load“.

The new MagneticDays indoor cycling video entertainment platform, MDVIDEO.TV, keeps adding new content. In fact, the first season of the series called SHOWCASE MD is now available online: 6 episodes, of about four minutes each, in the company of Coach MD Massimiliamo Sellini. A small journey to discover all the technical and functional details of some of the most innovative accessories made in our factory in Foiano della Chiana (Arezzo, Tuscany). From indoor training support to biomechanics, a precise, accurate and passionate overview explained in simple words by Coach Sellini, with his twenty-year experience in the world of cycling as a former athlete, biomechanist and coach.

“Our video platform wants to offer more and more quality content – said CEO MD Marco Sbragi – and that is why we also wanted to include a part dedicated to the in-depth study of some of our products that can be used in conjunction with JARVIS smart trainer and the main accessories. We hope to satisfy the interest of those who already follow us and stimulate the curiosity of those who have not yet tried the MD world”.

 

 

Postural rebalancing and athleticization, maximum and explosive strength and resisting strength. These are the three new personalized training packages – named MD CYCLING AND GYM TRAINING – available from today in the MagneticDays shop. But there is something new. The main feature is that they combine Self-Managed Workouts to specific exercises to be carried out in the gym. Each package includes:

. videos with the correct execution of the exercises in the weight room (available in PREMIUM mode by logging in with your username and password on our MDVIDEO.TV platform);

. training sheet in .pdf file (6-weeks work);

. 6 Self-Managed Workouts combined with dry exercises.

Once the package has been purchased, the customer will receive the training plan as a .pdf file  on their personal account. The .pdf will contain both the exercises done in the gym  combined with those done on the JARVIS smart trainer. “We believe that cycling training can be improved even more by including some basic training at the gym – said MD CEO Marco Sbragi – and that’s why we decided to create training packages – the special price of euros 100 – that also include this factor. Because customization is the basis of the MagneticDays philosophy.“

 

After the chance to import a workout as .FIT extension, MagneticDays introduces new possibilities for importing workouts like .ERG, .MRC and .ZWO extension.

Here’s how to do. Open your personal account on the MD website, clic on UPLOAD and select the option UPLOAD FILE ERG – MRC – ZWO as shown in the image below. More info are available on the guide line downloadable here. This procedure is also valid for the old MagneticDays trainers model.

 

After having to pause for a year because of the pandemic, the training camps of InBiCi Magazine are back. The Italian publishing group, which is the go-to magazine for many two-wheel enthusiasts – from cycling to cycle tourism – and MagneticDays have been partners since 2020.

The first appointment is from 12 to 19 February 2022 in Altea, Costa Blanca (Spain). This is one of the most popular destinations for both World Tour teams and amateur cyclists, who find the ideal weather conditions in this area to train in the winter.

MagneticDays will participate in a double role: in person, with MD Coach and former professional cyclist Raffaele Illiano, and via online conference, with MD Coach Luca Bianchini: “I am thrilled to be able to host MagneticDays again in our training camps with two great coaches who will give an even greater value to the indoor experience – explains the president of the InBiCi publishing group Maurizio Rocchi – because we are talking about a reality with a consolidated tradition and an innovative mentality, which maintains a highly artisan ground while positioning itself in the premium range of smart trainers and customized indoor cycling training programs.”

MD CEO Marco Sbragi echoes: “For us, the training camp formula is a way of communicating face-to-face both the company values and the infinite possibilities offered by the JARVIS indoor training system, which is increasingly adaptable to the needs of athletes of all levels – both technically and commercially.“

 

Starting 10 January 2022, we are changing the offer of the High Tech Training package with the purchase or the first rental (SMART RENT formula) of JARVIS or JARVIS Light: you will get 14 instead of 12 workouts in the “6 HTT + 8 Self-Managed” formula (commercial value: 150 €). Also, the above mentioned workouts can be performed 3 times.

“We decided to change the training package, which is actually an introduction to the MD world – said CEO Marco Sbragi – to give even more value to what our personalized training methodology represents today: being able to train any type of athlete, at any performance level, by providing a variety of workouts. Furthermore, new MD customers have the advantage of being able to count on a folder of free workouts available by default after registering on our site and downloading the MD WiFi App.”

After MagneticDays has decided to give all JARVIS’ owners a 25% discount on the purchase of one of the self-managed training packages (offer runs through 31 December 2021), it’s time of the JARVIS smart trainer Christmas Promo Pack 2021. This offer runs through 25 December 2021 and includes a present like ROLL BAR + TRAINING MAT (total price of € 380,00) or only TRAINING MAT (total price of € 80,00) with the purchase of JARVIS (€ 2150,00, VAT Tax and training pack are included) or JARVIS Light smart trainers (€ 1400,00, VAT Tax and training pack are included) respectively.

The new release 3.0.3 of MagneticDays WiFi App is now available for iOS and Android. This update includes the addition of a new category named FREE WORKOUTS, with 10 free indoor cycling workouts for JARVIS smart trainer ( unlimited duration ). In particular:

To break the clouds of a cold London sky at the beginning of November was MagneticDays, which took the occasion of the ROULEUR LIVE event to officially present the new JARVIS CARBON: all the MD technology in only 5 kg. The event, reserved for media and specialized shops, was staged in an “out of show”, parallel to that of “Victoria House” event. The new JARVIS CARBON smart turbo trainer has a carbon monocoque structure and is already available in two versions, glossy and matt.

“The JARVIS is a physiological lab – said MD CEO Marco Sbragi – and it confirms its ability to break the mold of the indoor cycling scene by arriving among the stars with a product that is unique in terms of performance, raw materials and lightness. We are the only ones to have created the lightest indoor training roller in the world, giving an even greater boost to the quality aspect of JARVIS and to our brand that has ‘Made in Tuscany’ as one of its pillars. London seemed to us the most appropriate place to launch the world premiere of JARVIS CARBON, even more so because of the presence of ROULER which hosts in its shop only one turbo trainer: the JARVIS black edition.”

It is now a fact that video content is taking up more and more space in the digital communication of small and large companies alike. The pandemic, of course, played a big role in this, as companies were forced to reorganize ideas and find new ways of working, aiming to find new and interesting contents to offer. During the lockdown, in full boom of requests for trainers and smart trainers, we faced the possibility of keeping in touch with the many users of JARVIS by doing Facebook live training sessions on Sundays, during which one of our Coaches executed a self-managed training together with the virtual company of many “magnetics”, in Italy and abroad.

After this positive experience, we realized that we could do even more. This is how MD LIVE TRAINING was born: the indoor training bike and online entertainment format created by MagneticDays to accompany users and smart trainer enthusiasts during the winter 2020 – spring 2021 season. The forty episodes, which went live on our Facebook page, saw not only many friends of cycling and triathlon training with us, but also great names in Italian sports such as Damiano Cunego, Alessandro Vanotti, Luca Gregorio, Nico Valsesia, Wladimir Belli, Riccardo Magrini, Antonio Rossi and Jury Chechi.

The 2021/2022 indoor season begins with the birth of MD VIDEO TV, the MagneticDays streaming channel where you can find lots of videos (both free and for sale): from indoor training with one of our Coaches to technical content. In this initial phase the first seasons of two formats are already available: MD LIVE TRAINING 2020/2021 and TRAIN WITH THE COACH. The latter collects 8 indoor workouts aimed at all users of trainers and smart trainers, accompanied by MD Coach Massimiliano Sellini who will guide you in the discovery of the HTT methodology, the maximum training customization available on the market today.
