Finally, a training DVD that doesn't suck!

[zoom-zoom]

Did the Force workout for the first time...love it! The miles pass SO much faster while doing these DVDs. Even with Coach Troy the miles pass faster than they do when I'm just watching TV or a movie. I guess because I am so much more engaged and mixing things up a bit.

Just as my husband and I were about to shun training DVDs altogether...we discovered Robbie Ventura's Real Rides VisionQuest DVDs.

I watched one of his videos in a bike shop while I was having my bike tuned up. His video was a breath of fresh air compared to Coach Troy's DVD. I didn't purchase RV's video but I do have a few of Coach Troy's. The other day I was working out to Autumn Country Ride with Coach Troy and no matter how slowly I pedaled, I still kept up with him. I told him that I didn't have to stand and pedal if I didn't want to.

I have 5 Sufferfest videos -- I play them out of a USB drive on my DVD player. My favorites so far are "Angels" and now "Downward spiral". The music is good, the price is right. This is the first winter I'm trying to stick with the trainer on a regular basis.

Until today, the only trainer video I could tolerate was Race Day (which came with my CycleOps). I do really like that one. But for the past couple of years, I would just put on old cycling videos and an ipod and half a** go thru the motions of a work out.

Today my BF brought over 3 Sufferfest videos that he downloaded. WOW...they were awesome! I did Angles, The Hunted and Fight Club...and even though my legs were killing me, I did all three. It was definitely three of the hardest hours I've spent on the trainer...at one point I was wondering if it would've just been easier to brave the temps in the teens...but it went fast! The footage was great, I liked the music (even though it's not something I'd choose to listen to, it worked well with the intensity) The efforts were HARD, but varied enough that I didn't dread them.

gotta second the sufferfest videos. i've been hooked on "revolver" (45min, 1min on/1 min off intervals for 30 minutes). still learning how to get out of the saddle on the rollers but def will be purchasing more of them.

they hurt so good.

If I am reading the Sufferfest website correctly these can be burned to a DVD, correct?

Thanks!
