Hey, SK, thanks for that. Sounds like very sensible advice. Spouse would like Uphill Grind, too, I expect.

Like Veronica, I like this workout; my pea brain needs entertainment to duke out the pain. So don't worry about working your way up one 'spensive DVD at a time per the difficulty rating. Look for ones that have the duration you like (many are the 45-55 min range and there is a leap to much longer sessions) and then adjust your gears or resistance or whether you stand until you gain more fitness. The structured intervals at any effort are better than too easy.

The Team Clydesdale tape makes an excellent recovery tape or more mellow alternative to the Uphill Grind. Just remember that you can adjust your effort level to any workout. Pick ones that keep your brain happy.
