Best Spin DVDs for Beginner?

The variable control on my secondhand trainer isn't currently working. I can only get up to 75 rpm or so on my lowest gear and that is working hard! So I can imagine I'd be modifying his instructions significantly.

Another vote for Spinervals. Ride Strong, Recharge and Aerobic Base Builder 6 are probably the easiest. In Aerobic Base Builder 6 he lets you pick the gear to maintain a certain cadence rather than give you the gear.

Can you tell I own too many Spinervals?

Echo several of the Spinerval recommendations. For a beginner, I would stick with the "Fitness Series" DVD (Clydesdales, Sweating Buckets). Recovery&Technique is one of my favorites, too.

The Spinervals DVD's typically cost $29.95 - you can try preview all the workouts online at www.mypypeline.com/coachtroy. The website has a coupon for one free workout. You can rent videos for as low as $1.75 and own them for $7.49. I'd suggest starting with Iron Girl 1.0 - Spinervals with IronGirl which has three, 30 minute indoor cycling workouts (easy, medium, and hard). There's a coach's note video that accompanies this (free).

Coach Troy gave an all day class followed by a spin session for my local triathlon club and he is the best.

In Australia/New Zealand the website is www.spinervals.au

There is a spinerval for Team Iron Girl--or something like that. Three short workouts that are fairly easy. We quickly moved past these, since we were taking a spinning class.

Thanks everyone. Spinervals it is.

Sweating buckets is a good, not-too-hard Spinerval video.

YOU ARE AMAZING! Thanks for posting this - I am excited to be able to try them out before commiting $30. THANK YOU!
