Spin video or audio for ipod?

[Sheesh]

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?

I'm watching for the suggestions too.

Maybe you can make one yourself, record your voice over the music? Sounds like you might have a business opportunity here.

If I only knew what I was doing, I could totally do it myself (and maybe make a killing in the process)! Maybe I'll talk to one of my spin instructors and see about getting their mixes and routines and see if I can put it together myself...I'll let you know if I come up with something.

I am new to spinning and new to this board, but iPods and podcasts, I know.

I haev also been searching for a podcast for me to use at home - no luck yet. If you decide to constuct your own, I may be able to help.

Found this ad with a link in Bicycling Magazine this month. It costs $20/month after the first month free. Podfitness workouts geared to you personally. Your own music. Top Fitness instructors. So they claim. I haven't tried it but it might be good for someone.

Great resource! Since the first 30 days are free, I'm going to try it out and see how it works. I'll keep you posted!

I had to laugh, though, when scrolling through the trainer options...Who wants to work out to Danny Bonaduce?

Thank you for posting this quesiton. We are in the process of creating just what you've asked for. My friend, Mara Fortin, is the best spin instructor I've ever seen and we will be creating a spin class on DVD with an audio version for ipod users. Send me your email if you'd like to be added to our mailing list to tsingh@tlsinghlaw.com. We'll keep you all posted on our progress.

Happy spinning!

do you use these recordings for spinning inside or do you take them outside with you as well?

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.

Thanks for the tip Christine and welcome to TE. Just out of idle curiosity, are you affiliated with this podcast? Free is good!

[christine]

Thanks Catrin for the welcome. No I am not affiliated with Motion Traxx at all. Just use the podcasts for my own use.

There are some spinning workouts for iPod you can download here. I've done two of them so far and enjoyed them. Didn't love them as much as my favorite spinning instructor (who I wish would make some of her own), but liked it quite a bit. If memory serves, they were free.

I also downloaded an app called Indoor Cycle from iAmplify, which a few others have mentioned as well. The instructor is Tracy Mallerd, who you may or may not have heard of. She's a little perky for me and there are only about four workouts on it (I think I paid $4.99 or something), but it's pretty good too.

As others have mentioned, there's a gold mine out there for someone who starts recording a bunch of spin workouts for iPod.

Thanks for the tips on Trihardist.com workouts. I just did my first one tonight (#5-Cadence) and really enjoyed it. Definitely going to do more of those for sure!
