Using videos at the gym = my new perfect combo!!

[Ecossaise]

I actually took my phone to the weight room this morning so I could do a Ballet Beautiful stretch after my workout. It was awesome. I'm guilty of skimping on stretching if I don't have a video, so being able to use my phone has been really helpful. I got some funny looks but do I care? No way!

My brain goes blank if I don't have a video to follow - especially with stretching for some reason - so I'm right there with ya! I totally don't care about funny looks either! Only thing I care about is good music and motivation - with those 2 I'm good to go!


Thanks for the compliments everyone! It's funny how much more spunk I have when my hair is short! Plus it spoils me with how little time it takes to get ready, hee hee!

Thanks for posting this. It's a great idea!!!! I have gone into the spin studio when there's no classes at my gym and have done Cardio Coach or watched Hulu but for some reason never thought to do videos .

What spin videos/workouts do you follow at the gym?

Some gym I guested at, had Virtual Active ... a paced biking travelogue (with interactive options for a trainer's voice coaching you)—not exactly a spin class ... but the ergometer spin bikes were even harder on my knees than the Lifecycle type; having a travelogue is a lot more pleasant (particularly that I don't get to travel anymore ...)

... anyway this harks back a ways—at home, I did have a TV show, Videocycle on some old-school cable channel once, and owned a decent ergometer bike ...

Hi! The videos I use for spin are from Studio Sweat On-Demand (SSOD). They're as good as live classes, in my opinion! I also use the Virtual Active videos that TinierTina refers to below. The scenery in a lot of those are great!
