Spinervals--New Release

[Velobambina]

Everyone -- I just ordered the new 5.5 hour Spinerval workout! It's supposed to simulate a century. Just in time for cookie season!!! When it arrives and I give it a try, I'll write a review.

Does it come with a psychotherapist?

Does it come with a psychotherapist?

Yes, his name is Dr. Troy

[maillotpois]

I don't think she meant a "psycho therapist".

Oh, my bad.
Love coach Troy.

If I end up not being able to do the whole thing in session, I'll let you know. I have a lot of "use or lose" leave to burn in December, so if it rains/snows on a day I'm at home and I can't ride outside, I might see if I can do the whole thing. I made Veronica's oatmeal cookies (put dark chocolate m&m's in them) and I have been enjoying them, so a 5.5 hour Coach Troy marathon might keep me from breaking out the elasticized waistband skirts/slacks in December.

I also got the new yoga DVD he's selling---will probably need that, too.

Please give us a review of the yoga DVD too.

No problem with a review of the yoga DVD (thanks for the recipes, by the way). I got a shipment notice so I hope to have both DVDs by either Friday or Monday, at the latest.

It's been fun reading about what variations people are doing. I've put chocolate chips in the oatmeal ones and I still don't really like them.

My Trader Joe's didn't have the mini peanut butter cups, but I found some organic PB chips that I'm going to try mixing with chocolate chips.

Back on topic - my winter goal is to get my core in better shape. Hence the interest in the yoga dvd. Although pushups are cheaper.

I can pick you up some of the mini peanut butter cups the next time I go to TJ's. Just PM me your address and I'll send them to you.

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.

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.

Yes, a review please. I have been practicing yoga for years and this one really interests me.

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.
