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.

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!!

This is a great work-out for anyone who loves biking at home. I am ordering it again because I wore out my first copy!

Although I have never attended a spinning class, I do ride a stationary bike at home. This video is not the best instructional video I have seen, but it does have some great scenery. The instruction is very low key, and the inset pictures of the instructor are helpful especially when the volume is low. While not great, this video does give you a good workout and makes the 30 minutes go by a lot faster than watching the evening news!! I have an inexpensive stationary bike and it works just fine for these excersizes.

Awesome scenery, makes you want to go to Hawaii and ride. I have been using this tape for a month now, and still can't get through the entire ride the way they say to. I've noticed improved power and endurance using this video. It's sweat-o-rama time, if you give it a chance.
