Tricycle: Pick Your Ride Cycle with Mindy Mylrea

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.

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.

This video is decent. I am a female triathlete and I was looking to do spin class in my house on my trainer. That's what I got! The workout is hard and it's nice that you have 3 to choose from. Sure the music is not tops but I hardly noticed cause I was too busy sweating my but off and cursing the instructor which is what you do in a good spin class right? I'd buy it. It's worth it for the money.

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!!

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.

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.

This is good, but to me was very boring. However, as far as these videos go, this is the first one I have ever purchased, so don;t have a lot to compare to. I think my next purchase will be more of a "spin class" type video, with higher energy.

This DVD is great. You have a lot of different options. You can mix and match your workouts. This makes for a different work out each time. The workouts are burn about 300 calories every 30 minutes and each work out is about 30 minutes including warm up and cool down. The only reason I did not give it the full 5 stars is because the music is not that great.

It's nice to have an option of doing a spin workout at home but I wouldn't say these workouts are like the spin classes I go to.It's not explained very well to what intensity you should be working and the changes of intensity don't seem very varied. That said, with any spin workout you only get out what you put in, but I find just doing a preplanned interval spin workout to some good music just as, if not more effective. On days when you haven't got much motivation to do this then putting on this DVD is an easy option

This is a good spinning DVD that allows you to mix and match your workout. You can pick from the flat, interval or hills sections as a stand alone workout (each around 35 minutes) or combine two or three for a longer workout. Mindy's teaching keeps things light hearted and fun whilst working you as hard as you want to push yourself (the beauty of spinning in general is that you choose the intensity yourself based on how high you crank up the resistance). I think its a nice touch having the different backgrounds at the beach/park/hills instead of the usual studio setting too. Overall this is a DVD that I would recommend and I liked having the option to pick and choose the focus of the training session.

All good thanks...

Very quick service, and great product.
