Hello all,

The winter weather approaches here in the Southern Hemisphere. I just got an indoor trainer for my bike and was using it yesterday as the rain fell and 35 knot winds gusted.

What spinning DVD would you suggest to a newbie to improve skills, fitness and strength over the winter without actually killing me. People seem to mention the Spinervals series often, but from the comments, I think they might be too intense for me to start out with.

The Kiwi dollar is in the toilet at the moment, so any sugestions on the cheap would be especially appreciated. Spinervals go for about NZ$70 each, ouch!
