Spinervals

[trainergirl]

Hey everyone. I just purchased one of the Spinnervals dvds and own a spin bike. Has anyone adapted these workouts for the spin bike. I thought this workout could be utilized with both stationary and spin, but the participants in the video only are using regular bikes.

I already own the Johnny G workouts but I'm starting to outgrow them

Thanks.

Hi! I use Spinervals with my road bike set in a trainer, but there are many around here and at video fitness who use spin bikes. Also, Coach Troy has people using spin bikes on quite a number of his DVDs...he tells you which gear (reg. bike) or what tension (spin bike) to use for each set depending on what you're using. Give it a go on your spin bike...if it's "small gear in front, 15 in back" just use your easiest tension. If it's "big in front, 12 in the back" just crank it up to the most tension possiblex( . Anything in between I'm sure you'll figure out!

I use a spin bike with Spinervals all the time and get a great workout. I just adjust the tension according to what gear Coach Troy says to use.

The newer Spinervals have participants using a spin bike as well as bikes with trainers.

Have fun!

Hey everyone.

Thanks for your responses. I did Sweating Buckets last night and boy that dvd lives up to its name! I just used my judgement when he gave the gear instructions.x(

There is a chart on his website saying what tension you should be at with the gear he is refering to. If I find it I will post the link. I have this chart hanging next to my spin bike so I know where I should be.
