"Go harder. Feel the resistance. Feel the work against your feet. Pedal through the resistance and make it disappear." This beautifully produced home-cycling video features instructor Robert Sherman leading you through an intense workout on your stationary bicycle. Instead of watching the instructor sweat, you watch Hawaiian scenery go by--quiet countryside, vibrant forest, mountain, breathtaking seascape--as if you were cycling outdoors. Sometimes an inset of the instructor shows proper form without distracting from the scenery. Sherman gives instructions about intensity and technique, varying your workout constantly. He guides you through the visualization of the ride as well as providing cycling technique and motivation. "Ride with confidence. Ride with strength. Stay strong as you prepare to face your first hill. Here we go." Although you don't have to have an official Cycle Reebok or Spinning bike, you'll get the most out of this workout if your bike allows you to increase and decrease resistance without dismounting, and cycle standing up as well as sitting. You'll look forward to getting on your stationary bike with this video. "This is what training is all about--going where you've never been, feeling what you've never felt. Let this beautiful Hawaiian scenery take you to the top." This video is 44 minutes, including a warm-up, 30 minutes of cardio riding, and a cool-down. --Joan Price

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Video, just wish there were more like it., March 4, 2002

This review is from: Cycle Reebok - The Ultimate Island Ride [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I decided to bike indoors I bought 4 tapes thinking that I would be able to get a varied workout each day. However, this is the only tape I use. The scenery of Hawaii is beautiful and it is nice to be able to bike indoors while feeling as if you are outdoors. It is also helpful to have the narrator telling you what to do and when to do it. I wish I could find more tapes like this one. This is sort of a beginning tape and now that I have been using it for a few months I am ready for the next step. But all I can find are spinning tapes, which are awful, or other scenery tapes, which don't give you instructions about which gear to be in. I would definitely recommend this tape for anyone who wants to continue biking in the winter. I put my bike on a trainer and it works just great that way so you don't even need to buy an expensive stationary bike.

3.0 out of 5 stars good visual, music ok, May 13, 2001

This review is from: Cycle Reebok - The Ultimate Island Ride [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is good for anyone who is new to spinning or a beginner and wants to get started on an in-home program. The program is very basic and easy to follow. Like all of the videos in the Reebok line, this is very technically sound, provides a good workout, but is a little bland.The camera takes you on a "bike's eye" tour of Hawaii, which is pretty neat. The music however, is not very motivational. One of the best parts of taking a spinning class is the intensity of the music, and this does not deliver that at all.

Is a great one!! I love Robert Sherman technic, and I wish you get new ones done by him.
I am a real spinning fan and I think this is one of the best videos I got.
I hope Amazon get new spinning videos soon!!
