Excellent bike workout for intermediate to advanced level of fitness. Keeps you interested by constantly changing sets, speeds, gears, etc. Tough and thorough indoor training DVD.

I have a spin bike and thought maybe this wouldn't work, no one was on a spin bike. I also ride a Mountain Bike when the weather permits, so I'm familiar with the gears, I just followed their candance. Wow what a workout! I have alot of other spin DVD's but like this better. I will be getting more Spinervals!

As my title says, have a towel handy! This Spinervals DVD gets the sweat flowing quick, and that's a good thing! This is an excellent spin workout for getting your on the bike fitness level up. If you're looking to step up from the Spinervals 1.0 fitness DVD, buy it. It's a lot more challenging than you may think from it's description.

By using the Spinerval Cycling DVDs, I have increased my endurance and fitness level significantly. I particulary like the Cycling with Iron Girl. Couch Troy is friendly yet motivating and I am never bored. I alternate the Spinerval DVDs with the virtual riding DVDs by Bike-O-Vision. This combination has really been a plus in my training routine.

This is my second spinervals dvd. While I am in no way claiming to be a pro or experienced rider, I am not a beginner. The naming is misleading. It was just too easy. The dvd is for beginner to intermediate. Even when you are doing the high cadence sets the gear ratio is not hard enough to get my heart rate up close to i. The hardest part is a pyramid set. I am now using this dvd as my recovery day exercise.

I am much more a fan of Suffer-o-rama. I have been doing this DVD for the past winter season, and I still get my butt kicked every single time. Plus the "scenery" on the tempo exercises is not too bad either.

The first time I did this workout, I wasn't all that impressed. Then I took the time to count the teeth on my rear cog and realized that I was riding in much lower gears than called for. Once I got in the right gear, I loved it. This workout is all business. No cutesy stories about being chased by dogs or bees, just plain old hard work.

I am not a cyclist, but like to spin to stay healthy. Troy is great coach and this workout involves fast spinning sets, interval sets, and hill sets. I was not bored at all and boy did I feel like I got a great workout. Between each set there is a rest time, and to some degree you need it provided you put in 100% during the set! The group included all age group, all with decent fitness, so you are not training with just triathletes! Although there were references to cyclist terms, this you figure out pretty quickly what it means by looking at the leg speed of the group! This is my first spine rival DVD workout and I am impressed and I will look into getting a few more. One less star since I wish they had references for spin bikes too.

I used this workout dvd with pretty good success this past winter. It has horribly cheesy music and cast, but the workout is great and a good variety within the dvd.

As expected with Spinervals....they work you hard and relate easily to a road bike on an indoor trainer

This is a great video to get started with indoor training on your bike. It definitely gets the sweat and the heart pumping! They need more sequences on the DVD though.
