Spinervals 1.0 "Ride Strong" - DVD Review
Review by grollo
Anyone who's tried an indoor trainer for any length of time know's It's hard to stay motivated during a workout, but the Spinervals 1.0 ride strong dvd kept me focused, highly motivated, and interested throughout the full 45 minutes. At the end of the program, I had gotten an excellent low-intensity aerobic workout... and it had been satisfying and fun.
Coach Troy Jacobson, and the high quality of the exercise program shines through the 45-minute workout; which takes you through a series of intervals. Fairly intense efforts are followed by easy "soft-pedalling" rest periods. It's well designed, with a variation of different types of intervals keeping the program interesting. You get some "30 seconds on, 30 seconds off" intervals, two sets of "pyramids" (30 seconds on, 30 seconds off, then 60 seconds on, 30 seconds off, and so on), a set of "super spins" at high cadence, and four "tempo" workouts that get you standing up on the bike for part of the interval.
Importantly, Coach "Troy" always keeps you posted on what you're doing, how long you've been doing it, and how much longer until you can rest. It really helped me pace my effort as well as keep me going at the right intensity level. If I know that I only have ten... five... three, two, one! seconds left in the interval, I'll grit my teeth and keep up the effort to finish it... and feel satisfied within myself. Coach Troy has a good sense of what his students are going through, and several times he reminds viewers to take it easy and keep their effort sustainable, since this is a low-intensity workout.

Review by grollo
Spinervals Fitness 1.0: Ride Strong will certainly form a part of my indoor training program from now on. Like others in the Spinervals series, it's an extremely well-designed and well-presented aerobic workout for use on a stationary trainer or exercise bike. Its high repeat viewing value is due to how customizable it is: as Coach Troy emphasizes during the program, it's up to you how much effort you put into each interval, and you can add extra rests or extra effort as desired.
All in all, it's an excellent low-intensity cardiovascular workout that's suitable for anyone who wants to get into shape on the bike for recreational cycling, or for more competitive cyclists who want a "recovery" session. Highly recommended
