 The best for spinning, February 3, 2010
By K. Terrill
|
|
I spin bike just to get into shape. This DVD is great! You can just spin for about half hour from hills, intervals or flats or combine two or three of the segments for a longer workout. Each segments have there own warm up and stretching at the end.
I would highly recommend this DVD for anyone wanting to get in shape

Excellent for all levels, December 9, 2009
By Jack of Trades (Marin Ca)
|
|
This is a very good product I have used it three times and enjoy all the different levels and combinations that can be made. I would suggest it for anyone who has been to at least 3 spin classes because she does not cover bike fit or basic spin technique. But otherwisae offers workouts that can be great at any level.

You will not be dissapointed!!!!, July 3, 2009
By assertive_2002 (Ontario Canada)
|

I had purchased Mindy's previous DVD...Supercycle..also a pretty good DVD if you are short on time...
But this is amazing!!!! You have 3 workouts... Hills/Flats/Intervals...each one challenging in its own way...
Mindy makes sure that your pacing is right...posture is correct...and the scenery is refreshing.
Her passion for fitness shows...as well as her knowledge...
You can create your own workout..including warmups...unfortunately its not as complete as some matrix type set ups I have scene on other workout dvd's...but if you have a DVD remote ...there is no reason to get up out of your seat...transitioning is easy...
I've been challenging myself with two of the three workouts on a daily basis for the last 7 days...which works out to approx 50 min of work out...and 10 min of cool down...
Ive lost almost 1.5 inches in my thighs already..the workouts are hard!!! if you push yourself to the limits..and Mindy reminds you of that...
I've havent made it to doing all three workouts as yet..which should be approx 1.5 hrs...but I'm very excited to have a DVD where I can even plan for that...
Check out the price...it could of been sold for $60..and it would of still been worth it...
Mindy's DVD's are never cheesy...motivating and realistic...always...
I hope she keeps on coming with hard hitting..lengthy challenging workout DVD's..from beginner to advanced ....this will become your favorite!!

 "A Real Workout Not for Beginners", June 14, 2010
By Jen Colleen
|
|
This DVD Trycicle: Pick Your ride Cycle with Mindy Mylrea is a real workout. However, it is not for a beginner which is what I wished I knew. She doesn't explain enough when you are a beginner. Therefore, I would only recommend this for advit cyclers.

 Better than Super Cycle, March 23, 2009
By linsey (Colorado)
|
|
Just received this DVD and like it much better than Mindy's Super Cycle video. There are three separate workouts: hills, intervals, and flats. You can also choose a combination of any two or to do all three. The main menu also allows you to choose just the warm up, the workout, or the stretch from any of the three but doesn't allow you to set up a combination and then run the program like some other exercise videos. So if you want to do a combo, you have to get on and off the bike to choose the next segment. Mindy has the decency to look like she's working hard too.

Great workout for beginners., October 11, 2011
By Herb
|
|
I just got my indoor bike and decided to try this video. I had no idea of which video to buy. I read the reviews and I found mixed comments. Therefore, I decided to just choose a DVD and give it a try. I'm glad I bought. It is helping me to build resistance on the bike and is not boring. As a beginner, I recommend this DVD.

 Extremely boring and dull!!!, December 5, 2011
By Ernela Joseph (DORAL, FLORIDA, US)
|
|
I was excited to try this but once I did, I realized that I wasted my money. This is so boring!!!! And the backgroung music is uninspiring. She also keeps on talking, talking, talking......I strongly recommend this for elderly folk, say 70 and over.

Just Okay!, July 12, 2010
By H. Bokor
|
|
This DVD was just okay. She pretty much tells you what to do and you work at your own resistance and pace, but it did not have the feel of the spinning classes in the gym at all. I think it's because she talks too much and the background music is a little corny. You can get a good workout following it though. The mix and match features are good, but when you combine the workouts, you have to go through the warm up and cool down of both. If you have a controller and can fast forward the cool down parts, then that's good. I have to play mine on a computer, so I had to stop pedaling. It would be nice if they cut the videos up for the mix and match workouts so there is no pause in between. The cool downs are just okay...I prefer my own kind of stretching. I will continue to use the DVD to get the basic workouts, but plan on making my own workouts with more motivating music.

fantastic spinning dvd, June 12, 2010
By Crystal Kunka (Mesa, AZ, US)
|
|
I love this program. Mindy Mylrea is by far my favorite spinning instructor. I have bought every spinning DVD I could find by her. Her videos far excel what is on the market for spinning. She makes spinning fun, challenging and you really feel energized and good about yourself at the end of the program. She also breaks it up into sections so you can do the entire video or mix and match. The best spinning work out you can find in my opinion.

Another great DVD, December 10, 2011
By 747Marine (New York)
|
|
I was looking for a different workout in Spinning. I wanted something for the extra burn and to experience a different type of ride. The fact that you can pick your own ride, change up the ride all on one DVD, is great. If you want a good change of pace, then this DVD is for you. I have been Spinning over a year now and found the DVD challenging and different.

Great DVD for a beginner like me!, September 6, 2011
By Sharon Rupert (Philadelphia. PA)
|
|
I truly enjoyed this DVD. Mindy is engaging without being too chatty. She motivates you and really gets you to zone 1, 2, 3, or 4. I enjoyed being able to choose which workout on any given day. You have the choice of 3 different workouts (flats, hills, or intervals). Mindy LOVES the intervals, as do I! Each workout is challenging in its own way.
As a new spinner, this DVD challenges me and I forsee this DVD one of my favorite "go-to" DVD's for a fun yet difficult workout.

ok, August 15, 2010
By spinmom
|

I was disappointed with this DVD. It is a pretty good workout but doesn't give the feeling of being in a spin class. The background music is "elevator" music- not at all motivating. Mindy is very sweet but talks way too much!!! I wish there was a way to combine the different types of profiles without going through warm-ups and cool downs for each. I will use the DVD from time to time but will probably look for a spin class in a local gym.

30 minutes long and still a great work out, December 31, 2011
By Sincerely Yours
|
|
Flats, intervals and hills: each 30 minutes long, just great if you don't have enough time and still feel you got a great work out. This is like a spin class but focused one of three aspects in a class. Nonetheless, you still get a decent work out and you can link two or all three of the work outs together! Great for beginners. The music is in the background, not instrusive and she does like to talk - not annoying.

With the warm up and stretch, the rides are about 30 minutes long. Good for a fast, sweaty work out

Great DVD for the money.
Never took a professional spinning class but this DVD really gets your heart rate going. Every workout is about 26 minutes with warm up and cool down.

Defective tape, November 27, 2011
By sam
|
|
The video tape was defective. I was riding along with the tape and it stopped and then jumped back to an earlier position on the tape. The tape then continued from that point. I could never get the tape to complete to the end of the ride. I will not buy any of her tapes again.

Boring, Bad Music, August 4, 2011
By italianbird3
|
|
This video was pretty disappointing. The music is bad, the scenery is cheesey, and the ride overall is boring. It was tough to finish the first ride and I haven't watched it since; I'd rather direct my own ride with music that gets me pumped up! It is nice that you can mix and match rides, but it's very choppy and not well edited. Wouldn't recommend it, but I'm sure it works for some people.

butt-kicking!!, July 26, 2011
By NANI
|
|
I've been working out at home for years and I must say that so far, of all the workouts in my library, this is the toughest one. I tend to do the whole workout at once (usually takes an hour and a half), but for beginners or people who don't have much time, doing it separately works as well (especially the hills section). I've used Mindy's Super Cycle, which can be done in less than an hour, and highly reccommend it too. Anyone who has used the Spinervals series will be able to notice the difference since Spinervals is more focussed on training/preparing for outdoor cycling. Tricycle translates into better outdoor performance as well, but it's definately tougher in my opinion. I can only ride outdoors once a week, and still keep up with people that ride 5 times/week! Best workout for your money. Mindy rocks...

 Boring, July 23, 2011

Dont waste your money, this video is super boring and she talks throughout the entire thing. I ended up muting it (there is an option to turn talking off) and turned on my iPod instead.

The only DVD spin bike work out you will ever need., June 29, 2011
By farmwife5
|
|
I love this DVD. I wish I had only purchased this one DVD and saved my money on all the others. I love her attitude and you work hard. This DVD is designed so that you can make each workout your own by using segments from flats, intervals and hills. Choose which segments you want to use depending on your level. Or, just workout to the full workout for intervals, flats or hills. It is a smart format. Love, love, love it.

Great workout, March 28, 2011
By nicky

When you are done with this workout your heart rate will be up and you will be soaked. Great work out. Makes me feel good! The sound on this video is too low for some reason. You really have to crank up the volume. I returned the 1st one and the second was the same.

great workout, April 26, 2010
By T. Peterson
|
|
This is a really great video. I like that it gives you options for doing the workouts separate or together. I have a spinning bike at home, but it doesn't have a computer on it so videos that tell you to go a certain cadence aren't very good for me. Mindy gives you 4 zones to find and gears the workout towards that. I have two of her cycle videos and will most likely buy more.

Very annoying, August 5, 2010
By B Adams (Memphis, TN)
|
|
My husband and I bought this DVD and another one featuring Mylrea. The instructions are not clear when she says what to do next. She talks too much and music isn't very good. She has annoying movements with her arms. We probably won't use either DVD again.
