After reading Nancy's review, I just had to jump on the bandwagon and write a review! Nancy did such a great, thorough job of describing the tape, so I thought it might be helpful to get a perspective from someone who uses this tape on a regular stationary bike as opposed to a spinning bike. I have a computerized stationary recumbent bike, so it would be difficult (and it would look very funny, to say the least) to do the standing and the jumps. Not that I don't try sometimes, but it sure does give me a good tricep workout--LOL! Anyway... I really like this workout. I find that I can easily modify this for my bike. I leave out the jumps and just increase/decrease the resistance on my bike and it works really well. This is a great interval workout--I can get really anaerobic with this one! I'd say that it's the cycling workout that I can best modify for my bike and still get a really intense workout (I have both Johnny G's, the CIA cycling tape and Reebok Ultimate Island Ride, which I also like a lot but it's nowhere near as intense). I guess my one complaint would be the production value. Nancy described it perfectly. For me, though, it doesn't interfere with the workout; believe me, I'm paying more attention to the burning in my legs and the sweat in my eyes than I am to the sound and the picture!

If you get a chance to see this tape, don't miss the bloopers that Mindy put at the end of the video. They're a riot!

Instructor Comments:
What fun! Mindy seems like she would be the type of person who would be so much fun to be around. She is incredibly athletic! She is motivating in a very encouraging way, and she is enthusiastic without being overbearing. She explains everything so well, that you have no doubt what she's trying to get across to you. I hope she makes lots more videos!
