Take your treadmill into the jungle!, January 13, 2009
By PT Cruiser (CA USA)
|
|
I own several walking DVD's of this type, but this is one of the best. The scenery is lush and the photography is steady and smooth and moves along just like you're walking in a beachside jungle or on a beautiful beach in St. Lucia. In the background you hear the waves on the shore and the birds and other natural sounds. It's easy to imagine yourself in a completely different, exotic place rather than at home on your treadmill or elliptical trainer.
One thing I especially liked about this DVD is that there is a 5 minute warm up section where you're on this beautiful jungle clearing overlooking the ocean with large rock outcroppings in the distance and the sun rising. It almost looks like a still scene except for the clouds slowly moving and a bird flying by every now and then. It's a good time to do a few stretches before beginning your walk.
The next part is the beachside jungle which is 37 minutes long. There you'll walk on a path among the palms and lush tropical plants. The birds and sound of the distant ocean are the only sounds you'll hear (unless you want to turn down the sound and use your mp3 player instead) as you walk along, looking at the scenery. The next part is the beach with it's high rocks along the shore and palapas overlooking the ocean. This part is 12 minutes long. You'll be walking at the ocean's edge with water lapping at your feet. This is a beautiful way to wake up in the morning!
The last part is a sunset and cool down which is 20 minutes long. As you watch the sun setting you might enjoy a few yoga poses or maybe a more leisurely walk after your workout.
I think these "virtual treadmill" or "virtual walk" DVD's are a wonderful way to make walking indoors as interesting as walking outside. For me, it makes the time go quickly and puts me in a great frame of mine to begin my day.

Beautiful Way To Make Exercise Time Fly By - and Get More From It!, February 25, 2010
By Bold Consumer (USA)
|
|
I have been using another set of virtual DVDs that are meant for cycling, but I use them on my treadmill. I've been so happy with them that when I got this one, I really was prepared to be disappointed.
I was delighted with it!
I hit the 'Play All' rather than choosing a specific segment. So we started out with a gorgeous still setting, with the sound of the ocean, which invigorated me as I got myself settled in on my treadmill. I was puzzled for a moment and thought that's all there was to it, so I stopped it and checked. Sure enough, that was just the warm-up.
Next, we come out of a little wooden gate onto a jungle path, surrounded with palm trees and other greenery. The sound was pleasant and non-intrusive. In fact, the sound of my treadmill was the only thing that annoyed me and I usually don't like the cheesy kind of sound on most 'scenery' videos.
So we travel on down that path, always choosing to go left when the path goes 2 directions. There are times when we go over small bridges and catch a glimpse of the water below.
Eventually I wondered if we would EVER get to the ocean, but we did. What a gorgeous view. I felt as if I were walking barefoot in the sand, with the waves coming in over my feet, sometimes having to walk around pieces of wood, etc., that had floated in from the sea. I felt as if I were really there.
I'm very pleased with this. It has a place by my bike-o-vision DVDs. I like to go to a different location to 'walk' or cycle or travel on my elliptical machine <grin> every day. It is such an incentive to get in there and spend that time which may also keep me healthy.
I recommend this DVD IF you are a person who loves nature.

 Hiking Video, November 3, 2011
By M. Meissner (Glendive, MT USA)
|
|
I purchased this and a few other videos to use while exercising on our treadmill. They work quite well and help keep you from getting bored to death looking at your feet or staring at the wall. This particular video has you walking through dense jungle on a trail. Kind of neat.... but also kind of claustrophobic. More open scenery might be nice.... and I later bought some desert hiking videos that provide this a little better. Having said that, it is still nice to get the feeling of walking through a dense rainforest that comes out on a nice beach. Makes a 30 minute workout whiz right by.

Love it!, October 21, 2008
By On the Move (Philly)
|
|
I love this new DVD put out by Scenic Trex! I spend a lot of time on the treadmill due to the quick workout i get and a busy schedule. Walking and running while taking in the scenery is so cool and so beautiful. This is the perfect combination for those of us who live in cold climate areas and who rely on the treadmill or other forms of exercise at home! A great gift also!!

Scenic Trex Beachside Jungle DVD, October 2, 2009
By TM (Pontiac, MI USA)
|
|
I did not like the camera angle as it appeared too high. They should've filmed it from a runners perspective. The beach run is short and then it just stops while looking out at the ocean for several minutes. The jungle run was a little better but at one point, you are coming down a decline toward a pool of water and before you get to it, the scene changes. I would not recommend this for the $15 I paid.

A fun and relaxing workout, October 30, 2011
By Kathy
|
|
I've never heard of these nature walking DVD's before and just happened to find them while browsing other fitness walking DVD's. I thought I'd give this a try because I've always been a big fan of music with nature sounds in it and I thought this would work for me. It really does. There is no music in it, but you hear all kinds of nature sounds, which is such a nice thing to hear after all the noise we're bombarded with every day.
As far as the workout goes, this is definitely not a fast paced workout if that's what you are looking for. But, you go along at a nice steady pace. I'm using mine on my indoor trampoline and I do pretty much a slow jog through the whole DVD, which seems to keep right up with the pace of the video. I found it really motivating to actually feel like I'm going somewhere, and will go the whole distance and length of the DVD (approx. 45 minutes) which is much longer than I've ever gone while watching the news or something else I get bored with.
The Trek you go on in this DVD starts on a path - just like a walking path you'd see in your neighborhood - in the jungle and you walk for about 35 minutes until you get to a big gate that leads to the beach. While you are in the jungle, you walk around curves, up and down hills, through a little bit of rain, along cliffs, under trees, etc. The beach walk is shorter and is kind of a cool down from the walk. You just walk along the beach, going past some chairs and cabanas and through a couple rocky areas. The scenery always changes - just like a real walk. At the end of my workout, I feel good about having walked so long, but I also feel kind of relaxed because of the nature scenes and sounds. I highly recommend this.

Scenic Trex Beachside Jungle, December 28, 2010
By Winddancer3001 (Alabama, USA)
|
|
This is the DVD I have been looking for! I love to hike, but cannot always get to a hiking trail. I love the woods, the beach, the ocean and with this DVD I get it all. It starts with a 5 minute inspirational warm-up overlooking the ocean. I can do warm-up stretches and exercises or sip my morning coffee while enjoying the ocean view...my choice. No one talks to me or interrupts my reverie. There are no people in the DVD. The first segment takes me on a 37 minute hike through the jungle with natural jungle sounds. There is NO MUSIC in this DVD, it is all natural sounds. The sounds are real, not the fake imitation sounds you get with some products. The hike takes me across the island and to the ocean where the 12 minute beach-side hike begins. This segment follows the edge of the ocean where I see & hear the waves crashing in. I can almost feel the water lapping at my ankles and the sand between my toes! The view is as though I am walking, looking straight ahead. It does not seem to matter what speed I set my treadmill on,the video seems to match my stride. I don't find myself feeling as though the view is dragging behind nor do I feel I have to rush to keep up. The cool-down segment has me feeling that I am sitting on the beach watching the sun set on the horizon. As with the morning warm-up, I can stretch and exercise or I can sip a drink and enjoy the sunset. This video is everything I had hoped it would be. I definitely will purchase other Scenic Trex products.

I enjoyed the other DVD from this line, and this one fabulous, too! DVD features a nicely paced trek through the jungle -- not only the perfect start to my workout, but motivates me to keep moving. Hoping for more DVDs in the future...!

I purchased this DVD and also the Fitness Journeys Tropical Scenery...this one is definitely my favorite of the two DVD's. It has a lot more beach time, which is what I was looking for. Makes the time on the treadmill go much faster!

Go take a walk!, January 12, 2011
By Curious Cyclist
|
|
I found this dvd to be an enjoyable indoor walking experience. The illusion of forward motion is motivating. The scenery is beautiful and immersive. It's long enough to be a good workout on a treadmill, elliptical, nordic track type thing, or anything else that simulates walking. I found it to be too slow for cycling, but perfect for walking or maybe slow jogging. The warm up and cool down scetions, as described in other reviews, make for a nice addition to this great dvd.

Beautiful Visuals, March 19, 2009
By PatJ (Indiana)

Scenic Trex Beachside Jungle is such a refreshing, relaxing background that the beautiful visual lingers long after the workout session. I sometimes view it on my laptop during morning coffee. Love being transported to St. Lucia. Look forward to more Scenic Trex.

 Monotonous and boring DVD, January 14, 2011
By Angel Lady 444
|
|
This DVD is monotonous and boring. The jungle trek is especially uninteresting and if you are even the slightest bit claustrophobic it will make you very uncomfortable. The beach scenes quickly become boring, as well. This DVD might be okay for cycling and treadmill work but definitely not worthwhile for walkers. Forget buying this one. In my opinion, it is total waste of money.

great DVD for helping with the boredom factor, April 29, 2011
By dvd (NJ USA)
|
|
I exercise at work during lunch and, unfortunately, it's just a converted office space (but better than nothing!). Needless the say, with only 4 walls, some exercise equipment, and a locker to look at -- my workout can get rather boring quite quickly. This excellent quality DVD is just the ticket to help with the boredom factor. I was concerned about potential 'walking motion' during the taping, but was happy to see it is steady throughout and the pace was perfect -- not too fast, and not too slow. I am glad they did not try to 'simulate' the speed of someone actually 'exercising', instead, the pace is a steady walk, perfect for viewing the scenery and giving you something to watch. I add my music with ear-buds for additional 'entertainment' and that helps the time go a bit faster.

Pretty ride!, April 16, 2010
By Janique (Gillette, Wyo) (Gillette, Wyoming)
|
|
I really needed something different to watch while riding my stationary bike. I am not much of a morning person, but I love the early morning hours when the rest of the world is asleep-its a real peaceful time! I was getting on my bike,and watching the Futures, along with the commentary when I noticed my mornings were not feeling so peaceful anymore o_O
I ordered this in hopes of finding alternative TV at 4:30am! This definitley fits the bill, and makes for a nice ride. It took a bit of getting used to because when I first started watching, it seemed really slow. I was used to keeping pace with the ticker, but once you get used to it, you can keep a pretty good pace without feeling disjointed from the video. I also upped the resistance to make up for the speed, and this gave me a heck of a workout! I was cursing the teeny tiny thing they call a fan on my bike;)
The video isnt fluid-in a few spots it clicks ahead or stops all together, then moves to a different scene. Im not sure if the trail is too narrow in spots, or why this happens, but it isnt overly distracting after youve watched the video a few times.
I thought the beach would be my favoritest part of the ride, but enjoy the "jungle" much more. Reminds me in places of the trails to Clayton Beach in Bellingham!
The beach is beautiful, but you go thru a tourist spot with grass umbrellas and lawn chairs, and further down the sand you can see traffic on the hill side, but this works for me because by the time I hit the beach the music on my CD is really picking up pace and I just watch the waves and ride.
All together with the jungle and beach the ride is nearly 50 minutes long which actually goes by real quick...no really...its true lol! And this comes from someone whose not overly enthusiastic about exersize, but its good for my heart, and a slowing mid 40's metabolism ;) Better to exersize as a prevenative thingy, than exersize because I have to!
Despite a few small things, this video is great, and its a nice peaceful ride that kicked my butt (in a good way). Definitely recomend!

Scenic Trexx Beachside, November 11, 2010
By 90% nerd
|
|
I like this video but some parts of the trail are a little tight. It seems like the camera-person was not sure of the path sometimes which would cause me to slow down and hesitate when walking. That's not a good thing to do on a treadmill that's set at a particular speed. If you just watch the video like a movie, it's fine. But I actually got into it, so it was a less satisfying experience.

Jungle looks all the same; DVD won't play on Mac Laptop, July 25, 2010
By JASDIP boy (Monterey, ca)
|
|
This DVD would not play on my new Mac Book Pro computer. It doesn't even show as a disc on my desktop, instead it shows as a folder. Bummer. When viewing on my TV... Jungle trails look the same for the entire 37 mins. Where are the vistas, and different terrain? Beach shots are nice though. Also the warmup and cool down is only 1 long video shot. Now instruction or anything. There are better bike/treadmill videos out there.

Next Trex PLEASE!, February 17, 2011
By meadowpsych (Michigan)
|
|
I read several pleasing reviews before purchasing, so I was expecting no letdowns. I was horrified at the video quality and speed of movement. This definitely is not something you can bike or run to. The speed is more like that of a leisurely walk, which I wouldn't have minded so much just for a chance to see the sun here in MI, except that the video quality was poor and the scene kept cutting to a new location midstream. I find it hard to believe they couldn't come up with a long enough stretch of beach for one walk. It would have been better if they had saved money by not going to someplace exotic like St. Lucia & used the money to improve the quality of the video. Unfortunately, there is nothing out there that is comparable in theory to the Trex videos. I think I'll just borrow a video camera and take a walk or run along Lake MI and replay it when I want outdoor scenery. I don't think it would look any worse. Better luck next time Trex.

Craved wide open spaces., April 7, 2012
By Del Watson (New Zealand)
|
|
Overall this walking dvd isn't bad. The beach scenery is great, but I found the jungle path a bit long and monotonous and craving to get out on the beach and some wide open spaces. Would love it if they didn't cut out on the crossing of bridges or streams. You finally see something different and then they disappear and you find yourself a little bit further along the path. I really did enjoy the beach though, although this is a much shorter time than the jungle path.

 Drab & Dull!, February 17, 2012
By manypages (Wisconsin)
|
|
Both Beachside and Rainforest are far from what these should be. They lack professionalism. Workout videos should enhance with vibrancy - not with drab trail scenes whereby the movement along the path is shifted somewhere else on a whim. I didn't realize a video could be shot with a Brownie Kodak camera! I have never seen a camera's focus shift in and out as much as this. One can hear the gizmo used to carry this camera as it creaks and squeaks along. What a sham! Never again!

feeling enclosed, January 15, 2012
By oldwalker
|
|
Parts of the jungle path felt closed in by bush and trees. Nice steady walking pace. A peaceful interlude in the forest. It will take some getting used to some of the turns in such crowded conditions, but I could definitely enjoy the solitude of the jungle forest. The cooldown part of the video would benefit from panning the horizon a bit, instead of just pointing at the same spot, but a beautiful view anyway.
