Has anyone purchased any of the indoor spin DVD's? What was your view on them.

I've got a few of the Spinervals DVDs. I've found they helped with endurance, and also with hill-climbing. Some of them are quite tough (for unfit plonkers like me). I've never actually made it through an entire Spinervals session because my body just couldn't take it anymore!! :lol: The music on the Spinervals DVD is distracting though, and worse, it's B-grade pr0n-like music. I'd love to be able to switch it off altogether. At times, it obscures the coach's directions, so I have to take visual cues on what I'm supposed to be doing. Very annoying. That said, they're still very useful and give me a great workout.

hey guys. i've posted a bunch of reviews of different spinning podcasts and dvds. there are a ton of them out there. i got a bit tired of trying to find ones that i really liked, so i started making my own....the reviews and the podcasts are all for free at www.thesufferfest.com. you can also find them in itunes.

my spinervals have the option to do the workout with or without music in the main menu

they're good but pricey at $50 each
