Spin video or audio for ipod?
I spent many hours last night looking for a spin video (or audio file) that I can use in the spin suite by myself on my ipod.
I checked out the spinnervals DVD previews and they don't seem to fit what I think I want. I'm looking specifically for good music with a voiceover that gives the commands that I can follow along. So, kind of like a class with the instructor on my ipod instead of in front of me.
Anyone have any suggestions?
They're expanding my gym...
and the club manager and somebody else came in the spin room while I was there. i figured I'd take the opportunity to put my .02 in and asked if they could put in a dvd player so we (I) could do spinnervals. The club manager said sure but the woman he was with told me to just google the term "DVD audio extractor". Lo and behold there is free software that will extract the audio from spinnervals!
So now I have to buy some Spinnervals
Excellent instructional spin workout (audio)
I also have spend a bit of time trying to find some good cycle/spin indoor workouts with music and instruction. I ended up quite frustrated.
I have used an excellent one which I would love to share with you. It is available in itunes under a podcast called motion traxx. The workout is called "get cyc'd" and its by Gregg Cook (episode 32). It is free. Or you can alternatively visit motiontraxx.com and download it from the website, you will find it under archived podcasts.
Let me know what you think if you try it. They are also looking at bringing out more of these cycling workouts.
Interval Cycling Workouts
I have been trying to save some time by riding indoors and wasn't sure if I wanted a DVD or audio for my iPod. I found this website http://www.highintervalworkouts.com/ They have 4 different types of spinning workouts each 60 min long. I have downloaded their ultimate package which included all four workouts, speed, power, endurance, and recovery to my iPod. I love them all. I can do the workouts at the gym or home. :) It complements my training for the Wildflower triathlon upcoming in a few months.
