Getting home after dark,I was missing out on my evening bicycle rides . Glad I purchased this DVD .
Now I'm using my stationary bike four times a week and getting a good workout .I will be using this throughout the winter,and any time the weather's bad.
I intend to buy the other DVD by Scenic Trex , so that I can switch them around. Hoping there will be more in the series .
Excellent product!!

This is so great because I look forward to getting out of bed to work out in the morning so that I can watch this video before I start my hectic work day. It puts me in the right frame of mind for the rest of the day! I love it!

Not bad. I purchased this to use while walking on a treadmill. It isn't too bad, but there are others out there that I would recommend more. This video meanders along a lush jungle trail. The audio soundtrack is a little distracting. A musical score might have been nicer, so my solution is to turn down the audio and crank up some Jimi Hendrix on a CD player. Much better. Recommended for people trying to put some time on a treadmill and are just bored silly looking at a wall. We put a 32" LCD TV on a shelf in front of the treadmill, with an inexpensive DVD player. Also on the shelf is a CD player and a selection of classic rock. It's a nice setup and is much nicer than watching the clock or staring at the wall. I'd like to see similar DVDs of travel destinations perhaps; walking around a small Italian village, countryside hikes in Scotland..... running a New York marathon..... something creative. I have found other DVDs of hikes in National Parks. These are all worthwhile diversions to keep you engaged and moving.

I truly enjoy this DVD! I can do my treadmill and stay focused on my workout. I can imagine myself right there on the trail and feeling the breezes. I want to get the beach DVD next but am hoping Santa will bring it soon. :) I stay focused better on this than just watching regular tv shows, maybe it's because I'm not trying to stay focused on the actual program on tv and I can focus on my workout. If I'm not watching anything at all though, I get bored and quit. This is definitely worth the money! I usually do a 30 minute walk on the treadmill and I can get 2 walks out of the program before I have to restart it. The quality is clear, there is one tiny spot where it got blurred and it makes me a little dizzy, but it gets clear right away. And now I know where it's at so I expect it. I really enjoy this and hope they will make more with like mountain trails, country lanes, etc. If you are looking for a "distraction", that isn't a distraction to your workout, this is the DVD to get!!!!

I was looking for a DVD to use while using a stationary bike. This has nice lush scenery but it isn't well suited for bike work. Runs much too slow and the trails are unrealistic to think you could be biking through them. Probably ok for someone on a tread mill if they are walking.

Scenic Trex Rainforest makes a treadmill workout a relaxing pleasure trip through a wonderful St.Lucia rainforest complete with all the sights and sounds of nature. Also have Beachside Jungle and will be watching for future DVD's by Scenic Trex.

Watching this DVD to relax after long days in the office -- and traffic! -- does more for my peace of mind than anything. Beautiful tropical "trex" segments, soothing rainforest sounds. Highly recommend!

This is a great choice for nature lovers, a lower-key option than some, great for those days when I wish I could just go out somewhere and get close to nature, walk around, get some exercise, but the weather isn't right or there isn't anyplace safe or handy nearby or maybe I just don't have time. This is not for those days when I'm ready for extreme sports or competitive exercise. It is an excellent choice when I just want to put in the exercise time and enjoy a little bit of introspection or maybe I'm feeling sorry for myself because I haven't had a chance to spend anytime outside recently. It even works when I have things to think about and don't want to go walking outside deep in thought and run into something.

If you want more action, just add your own music and power through it. It works. It helps to get me past the 'blah' mood where I really just don't want to push myself very hard today. I usually end up being motivated to do much more than I had planned. If I'm already motivated and ready for a all-out workout, I'll choose another DVD that kicks it up a notch and pushes me further than this one. It's all about the day, and the mood, and my goal for that day. The scenery is beautiful, worth the time spent enjoying it. I like to just drink it in, letting my exercise time fly by.

I was looking for some diversified workouts for my eliptical. This DVD is OK. It really has only one speed, SLOW. If I played it in fast forward , the tempo was better but there was no sound. Am I sorry I purchased it,no. Would I buy it again, NO
