I have used Coach Troy's Spinervals sets for years in the off season. This DVD tends to be the one that makes into the player more than the rest. It is a quick 45 minute workout that simulates hill training. There is lots of out of the saddle 'climbing', which helps break thinsg up for me. I prefer this one comapred to the 24.0 Hill Climb workout and it is a great change of pace from the 1.0 No Slackers allowed.

But it is great when you can't get outside. You can get some good hill practice in with this dvd. They move the pace and positions around (Stand, sit, cadence, etc.) so you don't get bored.

Highly recommended for casual or avid cyclists. Needs more on technique, but excellent for cardio and interval training. Good for moderate hill training. I use it once a week!

This is one of my favorites of the series. It's tough, but the time flies by. One star off because it's a bit dated, the music is kind of ridiculous, and the set is sparse (it looks like they're hanging out in Discovery One). But that stuff doesn't matter much when you're doing the workout.

The video is a little old (TT bikes age quickly) and the music is not for listening to off the bike, but this is a great workout that is hard to finish. The top triathletes featured are having a hard time so we mortals will also find it difficult!
