I love this video! Jay is the master of the right thing to say at the right time. This is a beautifully crafted workout with everything you could ask for in a cycling video. It doesn't matter what type of stationery bike you use, the key to this workout is in the intensity an exertion level of the participant.

The setting is Kari Anderson's Pro-Robics brick-walled studio, pleasant and familiar to those who know Kari Anderson's Great moves series. The intimate setting is a class of bikers who are next to and behind Jay, the central cyclist. He is leading the pack of exercisers and does so with great deft, humility and finesse. Among the cyclists are Helen Vanderburg of CIA fame, and Jay's sometime co-instructor, Linda McHugh.

What I liked about the workout were several things. The workout was spelled out completely before you began, both visually (a chart) and verbally (what you would be doing). Jay then encourages you with motivation, reference to your intensity, position, cadence and your heart rate monitor (important to "Spinners"). I also liked that the participants were really exerting themselves and that they were sweating bullets by the end of the workout. Jay's friendly encouragement and his own obvious exertion were exhilarating. The workout had strong interval, hill and sprint segments and then allowed you to relax and recover until the next workload. This is a must have for indoor cyclist and/or instructors of Spinning, Cycle Reebok and other bike programs. It really is the best of all that I have seen and the boredom factor is totally non-existent.
