Spin/Turbo DVD advice wanted

    I have just tried "SPINeRVALS 8.0 - Recovery and Technique" and while it is a great workout it is tough going for a newcomer.
    Has anyone got any suggestions for good video tuition DVD's etc.
    I have to add that the 45 minutes flew in but I am wrecked so I dont think I would be able to do a session like that every day.

    You're not supposed to do hard intervals every day!

    Agreed, but the title of the DVD is "Recovery and Technique" Its my first one so I dont know what the options are, but I thought this one would be on the lower end of the effort scale.

    Sorry, I only say the 'spinervals' bit and missed the rest of the title!

    If you really are a complete newcomer then I probably wouldn't bother with the structured stuff for a while. Just work on building up some base fitness first: put on some decent tunes and just turn the pedals for an hour, keeping to 75-80% of your max heartrate (legal disclaimer: this assumes that your doctor has said that it is safe for you to exercise in this way). You shouldn't feel completely wrecked after this. A big cooling fan blowing at you is also vital when using a turbo.
