Precision Cycling (2000) is the only video I have that I can use on my elliptical trainer. (I’ve tried others: Johnny G, Mindy - but they weren’t useable).

Others have broken down the workout. I’ll give my impression.

My impression is that this is one terrific workout! When I was using it twice a week, I increased my endurance (and decreased my body fat) measurably. Jay gives a lot of options for adjusting the difficulty of the workout. You can KILL yourself if you want to! After the workout, I am usually beet red in the face (what Gin Miller calls a “tomato-head”). I have to keep a towel nearby as I sweat profusely. And also, I have to keep guzzling water.

The music is good and really helps to keep the beat/cadence of the movements.

I wish this was out on DVD!

I haven’t tried his other cycling workouts. I don’t know if they would work as well with an elliptical.

Instructor Comments:
Jay is great in Precision Cycling. Relaxed, motivating and enthusiastic. He cues wonderfully and adds just the right amount of form pointers. Reminding you to keep tension out of your hands and shoulders. I like that he adds stretches throughout the workout.
