Great Fat Burner Workout, December 23, 2009
By Don from Prescott
|
|
I have purchased several of the virtual reality videos from "Behind the Bars with Paul" and this is one of my favorites for burning calories. The workout is plenty long enough, to give burn off that extra slice of pizza. The virtual reality of the ride brings you into the ride and you can forget you are not actually out on the road. What beautiful country to put some miles in. The heads up information that is supplied on the screen keeps you honest in your effort and you can make it very real and in doing so. I would highly recommend any of Paul's videos wanting a great way to workout or just get in some indoor miles.

A great ride with Paul in Alaska!, January 27, 2010
By Grayhog68 (Texas)
|
|
This is one of several BtBoP workouts that we now own and they are all fantastic. This was a great workout and we actually felt the thrill of riding in Alaska, even out here in far West Texas. There were some problems with having to wipe water off of the camera lens but after all, it rains in Alaska! As with all of Paul's workouts, you have to keep yourself honest because there's no coach there yelling at you to "keep it up". All that you need to push yourself into a hard workout is there on the screen. If you try to match the intensity level showing on the screen, you are definitely going to be sweating and you'll know at the end of the workout that you've worked hard.
The only thing that we sort of wish is that there was a time indicator on the screen showing how much time is remaining in the workout.
Thanks for the great ride, Paul. We loved seeing the bear!

Great Videos for Indoor Cycling, October 20, 2011
By For What It's Worth (Private, CA USA)
|

I bought this video along with Anaerobic 3.0 Hillervals and both are great. The scenery is really nice and the graphs on the bottom for heart rate and intervals are well thought out. I would definitely recommend them for any indoor cycling video collection.

great ride, great video, December 8, 2011
By jimray
|
|
This video is good because the scenery is great, along worth the other features discussed, all help cut the boredom of riding on a trainer when the weather isn't so great. The best feature is the on screen telemetry that displays heart rate, cadence, gearing, gps location, speed, distance, elevation, and profile. If you have a heart rate monitor, and cadence sensor for your bike, you can really get a good feel for the type of ride that you are on. I like to dim the lights, and use a little imagination, and I am in Alaska. This is a fun way to get a great workout; I'm covered in sweat after every ride (though I usually fast forward through the breaks, and pedal through the coasting portions). It is a lot of fun, and is definitely more fun than the normal "workout" type videos out there.

 Defective and overall not worth the money, February 5, 2011
By Denise3
|
|
The DVD was defective so almost half way through my workout I had to stop and start the DVD all over again. The music is decent so I gave this two stars. However, the view is not great at all. This was definitely not recorded by a professional so what should have been scenic views were mainly patches of dark gray/black views with bright colors coming from the cyclists gear. Don't waste your money.

 Wished they filmed this on a sunny day or at least with more light!, December 31, 2011
By Sincerely Yours
|
|
5 stars for great work out, but one less star for filming this on a cloudy and drizzly day! I love Alaska and I so wanted to see the scenery! The ride was done late on the evening and it was more like cycling in dusk!
My Heath level is that I am trying to loose 30 lbs, not excessive for my height, but it is time. It was easy to break this workout into two parts, each an excellent 55 minutes ride. The whole ride has TWO biggest hills, the second with a couple more push than the first one. Although there are no warmups and warm downs, the start and end of the ride has a pace that is just as good as any warm up in a spin class. (I am not a cyclist and love spinning as a way of low impact exercise). The last 15 minutes have some great speed work and interval equivalents, plus rolling hills. there are also mini breaks where for the spinners you spin with little resistance. It is really up to you to put more effort if you want to. Although a recovery workout for true cyclists, for spinners, don't be fooled, just a great workout DVD for beginners or for advanced trainers. The time went really quickly, but wished it was not filmed with so little natural light!
I definitely felt I got a great work out even by breaking out the DVD into 2 parts. The trainer did not talk excessively and there were real encouragements, advice to keep you going. The dash board is pretty good with %heart rate, perceived effort (1 to 10 for spinners), RPM, and maps and elevations. I have another Alaska DVD to try and hope there is more light!

Indian to Girdwood, October 18, 2011
By Matt
|
|
Of the Alaska Collection, this was my favorite ride. Though the lighting was a little grey, the views of the Chugach Mountains more than made up for it. Riding on the bike path for the whole ride was a fun experience. It is amazing that almost 2 hours flys by so quickly when you are engaged in the ride. Usually I can't stand more than 45 minutes on the trainer, but this totally changes that. Great ride!

Great way to start a fitness program!, October 18, 2011
By Frogs
|
|
I bought this DVD earlier this year to motivate me to exercise, get fit and lose weight. The "Tour de Basement" was not very motivating, and neither was riding my bike while yelling at the evening news. I have really enjoyed this DVD, and I have lost 40# in 5 months. (I also bought other BtBOP - Behind the Bars of Paul -- DVDs, as well as a few scenic treks and training videos from others).
Paul Gallas filmed this DVD while riding with a bike club in Alaska. It is an evening ride through beautiful country. But as Paul says on many of his DVDs : "This is a workout video... not a scenic trek. You're not a tourist, but an active participant. Stop watching and start doing." So while the view is nice and a bear makes an appearance, the photography is a bit shaky in places and it is dusk and drizzly. It is a bit hard to understand the bike club members as they describe the scenery. Some "scenic" DVDs are prettier. Remember, you are not a tourist! The strengths of this DVD are the unique "dashboard" and Paul's inspiring instruction and commentary.
The "dashboard" includes suggestions for gear ratios / bike resistance, cadence and percent of max heart rate. As it is impossible to match all 3 at the same time, I concentrate on bike resistance and/or cadence. There are also 2 color coded graphs of the effort and the hill profile for the entire ride, with a marker to show where you are. There is also a little GPS inset showing topography, speed and the location of the bear. The screen is busy, but all of this information is interesting and Paul puts it all to good use as he guides the participant to build endurance, burn calories and become proficient at cycling.
At first, I could not do the entire DVD -- perhaps only 30 or 40 minutes. After using this DVD nearly every day for a month, I could do the whole video and I found that I was telling Paul what he was going to say next. You have to finish the video to see the bear. That is when I knew that I needed to have other DVDs. I did not feel ready for some of his hard core training DVDs. Fortunately, Paul had another Extreme Calorie Burner program and had just published his first Heart Health program. These are also wonderful, and I rotate all of them with the scenic treks.
I am very happy that I found this program and recommend it highly.

The dashboard makes these videos completely unique. The dash provides real time information to dial in your workout including cadence, heart rate and resistance. Plus other features of the dash keeps the video interesting, informative and a lot of fun! This is a short video that teaches you the components of the dash and how to use it. Enjoy!

My Favorite Cycle Training DVD, March 18, 2011
By Nadine
|
|
After receiving a few of Pauls workout DVD's for Christmas and loving them I invested in some more a few weeks ago. I purchased the package of 3 Alaska DVD's and this one has to be my favorite. First, I love the scenery. I feel like I am riding on the trail with Paul and his buddies and it is so beautiful. My kids watch the DVD while I am riding and I think they enjoy it just as much as me. Second, it's a great workout. Not as hard as some of Pauls others but that's what I like about it. I have labeled this DVD as my reward DVD. I get to do this ride when I have completed my other rides during the week. There are no long, hard climbs which is a really nice change, no pace lines, no screaming descents, just a fun, energetic and interesting ride to end my week on.

Biking for Life, January 23, 2012
By Richard
|
|
I hold you folks completely responsible for my biking addiction.
I am a 66 year old criminal defense attorney and Law Professor in the Chicago Metropolitan area. Though we don't have any mountains (and only a few hills) we do have some impressive-for-the-area Rails to Trails pathways, but lousy weather winters. However, I have a son who has a mountain guide ,skiing, climbing business in Durango, Colorado (Klingmountainguides.com) whom I try to visit at least a couple of time /year. His wife is the HR person at Durango Purgatory Ski Resort. Of passing interest is that when my son Josh, now 30, was 15 he and a group of kids biked from Virginia to Los Angeles which is where we discovered Durango en route.
Through a number of trips to Durango and surrounding areas I began looking on line for biking videos in the region and found you folks. The rest is history. I have either purchased or been given as presents "Indian to Girdwood," "Evergreen to Red Rocks," "E Rock Rocks," "Training to Climb, Rattlesnake Bite," "Laying Down the Hammer," "Training to Endure, Front Range...." and "Bay Area Backroads." I assure you my orders for the rest of your Colorado and the High Country videos are only a paycheck away.
I hold you completely responsible for my significant diversion from work and family, spending extra money for the videos, not to mention phenomenally better emotional and physical health and outlook and enjoyment of life in an otherwise flat topographically boring environment. I really appreciate your attention to detail, especially enjoy the narrated videos, and look forward to a long relationship. Have a great year.

A Great Ride and a Great Workout, October 18, 2011
By deanywalker
|
|
I got to ride my bike in Alaska....The ride was great, the scenery awesome, and the company more than pleasant. This video made a 1:50 minute workout a very enjoyable and painless experience. The terrain is varied with some nice transitions between riding the flats, climbing and some coasting. The bits of info about Alaska and that black bear added to the experience. "Basement" riding just got a whole lot better.

Increases the FUN of Cycling, October 18, 2011
By John W. Weston (GARDNERVILLE, NEVADA, US)
|
|
I live in a community where the cycling , 8 months out of the year, is truly amazing. I am in the Eastern Sierra. I ride to work , and as much as possible. I enjoy these when I am not able to ride like I would like to. I figure as opposed to playing video games, might as well do some thing that enhances my cycling experience, as opposed to always looking at cycling s a work out, when you should be enjoying the time out doors. The videos are so real, that when it turns , and you are on your trainer,your equilibrium is thrown a bit. You want a real work out, throw on some leg weights...This is a great way to stay in cycling shape in the winter months, or when you just are short on time ....

 Boring ,dark and dull, December 12, 2011
By AJ
|
|
Ready for a dark, dreary ride that anyone could produce by slapping a video recorder on their handlebars? Purchase this video. Random rambling from the narrator's cycling partners even when you select music only is just one problem. You could be riding along any trail in any state and see the same paved bike path with trees covering most of the supposed awesome scenery. If you are looking to get a real work out on your indoor bike or spin bike, go with Mindy. she is motivating, and you will get a tough aerobic workout.
The New Age music was annoying.

Not what i expected, January 20, 2012
By Wife of LSU Fanatic
|
|
This leisurely stroll was not what I expected. If you're looking for a spin-class like video...look elsewhere...I sure am. Since there is no preview of the material, I suggest viewing a few video clips on YouTube and then searching for the titles.

Great Workout! Beautiful Ride. Helpful Information., February 29, 2012
By Bold Consumer (USA)
|
|
I just finished 1 hour and 50 minutes of the Xtreme Calorie Burner! Indian to Girdwood Alaska cycling video. I put my best effort into it and got a great workout out of it.
The secret for me is combining attention to the resistance, cadence, and the staying at the right heart rate. It works. I am telling everyone I know that workouts literally fly by with these videos. The narrative from our leader, Paul Gallas, includes very helpful information too. I always learn something.
This time,
I started out on the Precor AMT for 30 minutes.
I switched to a Precor bike.
I switched to a Cardio Glider.
I switched back to the bike.
The video works well with all of those. I've also done some of the videos while on my treadmill in the past. It's all in the motivation for me, and I get plenty of it from these very excellent videos.
I never used to push myself hard enough to work up a sweat when I exercised until I started using this system.
Even though my focus was on keeping the cadence going, making sure the heart rate was in the right range, and watching the RPM, I still got a chance to see some of the scenery. It was absolutely gorgeous. I enjoyed seeing the wild life toward the end.
Thanks for another great video! Now to decide which one to do next. They are all good.

A Good Recovery Ride, February 24, 2012
By rgd10t
|
|
I enjoyed this ride for what it is, a not too intense ride along some pleasant scenery in Alaska. I used this video the most shortly after I got my spin bike as I ramped back into exercising (a couple months after cycling season had ended for where I live-I'm a wimp and don't enjoy riding in the cold) I must admit I was hoping for more dramatic scenery and it's not my favorite from Paul but I still enjoy riding to this video occasionally when I want to take it a little easier. I like how the dashboard is real time unlike videos from some of the other makers where the numbers never quite seem to line up with the hill that is coming up.
