The Hawaii Rides set includes StrenDurance, Oceanside Ride and Maui Rollers. The 3-pack retails for $75.00, or you can buy each one individually for $30. They also offer two videos shot in Italy: Speed & Power and Climbing Sufferage. Three of us tried one DVD each. If you typically spend a lot of time on the trainer in the winter, check out what our three testers have to say about the DVD’s after the break…
Global Ride’s Hawaii Rides DVD set is a collection of three cycling workouts followed by three different cross training routines that tie into the spin session on that disc. Each cycling workout follows different scenic roads through Hawaii, offering a visual distraction from the sometimes (usually) boring time spent on the trainer and, if you’re like me, they help keep you focused on riding hard enough. My mind tends to wander, resulting in slower, easier spinning until I snap to. With the Global Ride training DVDs, you have three different coach “tracks” to choose from on each DVD, so you’re reminded to pedal harder, faster or whatever the specific workout requires.
REVIEW: We actually received Global Ride’s DVD’s in early Summer, but we procrastinated and kept riding outdoors. Now that it’s dark by the time the work is done, and in some parts there’s snow on the ground, we’ve put these things in the DVD player and put them to the test.
