That is a very interesting concept!
There are hill climbs and sprints and steady - so okay, sure a treadmill would work for adding incline and increasing speed.
What I can't think of a way to do are for the "sit and stand" moves called jumps and also the hoover.
I'm fairly new to spinning and I don't really use a treadmill so that's all I can think of, but maybe someone would have some other ideas.
Otherwise, the dvd is not very expensive - you could buy it try it; you might come up with some of your own ideas, and if you do you can write a post about it!

Hi Jenniferlove -
Thanks for the reply!
My husband bought me the XTrain bundle for Christmas and also got Ride not knowing it was a spinning workout. I have a treadmill that I could use but before opening it I was wondering if it was possible. I was thinking about selling it (unopened) but thought maybe I could sub the treadmill and keep it.
So 'sit and stand' moves would be the only obstacles? Maybe I'll give it a try - you can't have too many Cathe workouts, right?!
Happy New Year!

What a nice gift from your husband!
I just thought of something you could do for the jumps and hoovers...
I have heard of people jumping off the treadmill and doing squats, weights, pushups, or whatever. Then they jump back onto the treadmill for more cardio...
So I wonder if you might want to do something like that for the jumps; perhaps step off the treadmill and do body-weight pulse squats or squat jumps trying to match Cathe's tempo.
Maybe one day you'll get a spinning bike. Besides, I agree - can't have too many Cathe workouts! LOL!
