Thanks - I can try one of the others out here. The one in my town just opened, so they are still working out what people want. I put it in the suggestion box.

Help
Small hijack---If you could only buy one Spinerval, which would it be (yes, it is for me). I have not been on a bike in months and I am optomistic I will be back on Dec 22nd.
SO, I want to order one for Santa to put in my stocking, but cannot decide, please help.

Have you read the various reviews here on TE?

If I could keep only one, it would probably be No Slackers because I HATE it! When I ranked my videos in order of my perceived difficulty, it's the second hardest, only Tough Love got ranked harder. Coach Troy rates it a 9.0 and I have several 9.5s that I think are easier.
If I were to keep one that I actually enjoy, probably Zoot Challenge.

Yes I did read the reviews, which has left me further uncertain as to which one to buy. It sounds like I cannot go wrong. Originally Posted by Veronica

So think about what kind of workout do you want; hills, a mix of things, strength building, aerobic base?
Then how long do you want?
I like the 45 minute ones because I can always talk myself into doing it. It's just 45 minutes after all.

Strength, aerobic, and endurance-so probably a mix.

BMO3---For versatility (more bang for your buck), I recommend getting one of the longer ones. Have Mercy, the original, is 2 hrs and has a good mix of tempo, hill work, sprints, etc. It's my favorite longer Spinerval. Have Mercy the Sequel (also 2 hrs) is more endurance focused, as the individual sets are longer. Tough Love is 3 hours and the new DVD is 5.5 hours. The beauty of the longer workouts is that you can break them down into shorter workouts.
If you want a short workout, Hillacious is my favorite for the fun but very difficult factor. It's just over an hour and will help with your climbing.
