Mad Dogg Athletics Spinning Rides: The Rockies DVD

I am so impressed with this Spinning rides DVD. the music is fantastic and through out the one hour bicycle ride, they post messages on which gear to be in, what speed...your location on the route of this dvd. also the riders each pops in and talks a few seconds about the ride. the big green circle is to let you know if you should be sitting or standing...there the speed sign and gear sign. did i mention THE MUSIC IS FANTASTIC!!!! i used this the first time yesterday, and i was eager to get back to it today.some of the other DVDs for spinning, i tried, killed me... and i had no motivation to get back on my bike. i'm lucky to last 10 minutes!this one here. its not hard cord. yes, a person can use a higher gear or pedal faster if they want. i just stayed with their suggested gear and speed. i lasted 45 minutes and only reason i got off the spinner is because my butt was hurting. time to invest in padded bike shorts!great music by the way!!!!!

The main reason i purchase these DVD's is to get a great workout. All of the "Rides" DVD's deliver. Each one is a little different in its approach. This one offers intermittent tips from pro riders and even a little chuckle now and then. I'm glad that they aren't all the same. This keeps the workouts fresh. I just wish there were more available. I now own The Rockies, Las Vegas, North Carolina, and Ireland. There are plenty of alternatives that are geared for scenery watching or that are coaching oriented. I have those too. But i keep coming back to the "Rides" series. If you are in it for the workout you can't go wrong with these.

Awesome video. This one actually gives the street names, so if you are curious, you can see where they are riding.They kick butt too. It's a bit longer than some of the other videos I have.Not as good as being there, but not all of us can live in Colorado I guess.

Not very impressed with it. I think what I've found on youtube has been as good. Just my personal opinion.

Great way to train the filming is such you feel like you are riding with them.

Very disappointed that there was no coaching/direction in the video. It was only music and scenery.

Great workout!

Would not work in Samsung Blu ray/ DVD player. TV screen shows unreadable.

This indoor cycling DVD is very old, clearly well out of date, and really should either be withdrawn from sale or sold at a greatly reduced price. The cyclists involved are all pretty affable, and the 80`s feel is mildly amusing initially. But the music is generally dire, including several deeply irritating tracks that are likely to put people off using the DVD repeatedly, a critical problem. I thought the scenery around Boulder, Colorado would be pretty engaging, but the dull featureless road setting is uninspiring enough to provoke the Boulder Tourist Board to have it withdrawn to avoid putting off potential visitors. The quality of the workout is not so great either, and the whole effect was so negative that I have decided to return it. Very disappointing

Was for my dad'd birthday. He loved it.

Mann begleitet eine Radlergruppe durch meist flaches Gelände. Die Rockies bestehen da nur aus einem Berg. Videoqualität könnte besser sein. Landschaft auch. Meist Flaches Weideland im Schneearmen Winter. Soweit das Schlechte.Gottseidank nehmen sich die Radler selbst nicht alzu ernst. Ein paar Witze sind drinn. Viele Spielchen. King of the Hill, verfolgen einer Ausreißer Gruppe, Selber Ausreißen, und am Ende das Beinharte einbeinige Training motivieren.Dazu passende Klasse Musik. Wer ordentlich mitmacht wird auch ordentlich schwitzen und spass haben.

Das Video ist klasse und fordernd. Es wird aber recht schnell langweilig, so dass man über die Wintermonate 4-5 Videos bräuchte um genügend Abwechslung zu haben. Daher empfinde ich den Preis als zu hoch. Wären auf einer DVD 3 Touren a 60 Min, wäre der Preis angemessen. So empfinde ich den Preis für ein sehr schönes Produkt als zu hoch. Wer es sich leisten kann und will, erhält eine schöne Motivationshilfe.

Riding in the Rockies is not about riding in the Canadian mountains but about riding probably further south in the US Rockies.. Anyway in Canada most people would not call these mountains but rather foothills. Anyway after I got overr this illusion I enjoyed the feeling of riding with a group of people which I don't get the opportunity to do too often. This video fitted in quite well with Riding in Ireland, a single person riding in southern Ireland and Tricycle which is a spinning session with 3 types of riding.
