I heard an interview on the radio this morning about 'virtual spinning".
Spinning is cycling indoors on a static bike with a load of other people and a trainer at the front of the class. But you have to have a high tolerance for exercise bikes and being cooped up inside with a bunch of other sweaty people for this to be a satisfying alternative to the real thing (Especially in Holland! )
Virtual spinning is the same as above but with the addition of a real bike ride projected onto a screen at the front of the room/ A guy or gal is photo shopped in the film and gives instructions about the ride. There seem to be lots of bike rides filmed in the French Alps................ Here's a (Dutch) example and a somewhat gentler one in Hawaii
There are even video walk DVD's !!
If you don't want to go to the gym for your virtual bike ride, you can stay at home in your own front room with a home trainer + DVD ... or via video streaming from a club !!
...............Spinning world record
